XtoysEarthly Body Edible Massage Oil Strawberry Review
Editor's opinion
This is a large, thoughtfully formulated massage oil designed for couples who want massage they can taste. The vegan, paraben-free and petroleum-free blend suits most people, but the almond oil rules it out for anyone with a nut allergy, and being an oil it should not be used with latex condoms.
Edible massage oils occupy a specific corner of the romance shelf: they are less about function and more about atmosphere, turning an ordinary massage into something interactive and playful. Earthly Body's Strawberry oil leans firmly into that idea, pairing a blend of natural conditioning oils with a sweet flavour and scent meant to be licked away.
What a buyer should really be weighing here is not whether it works as a massage oil, but whether the flavour, the ingredients and the practical trade-offs of an oil-based product fit how they actually plan to use it. The details tell you most of what you need to know.
The good and the bad

Buy it if
Couples who enjoy slow, playful massage and want something they can taste as well as feel, especially those who value vegan and paraben-free formulations.
Skip it if
Anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it because of the almond oil, and anyone relying on latex condoms should choose a water-based product instead, since oils degrade latex.
Design and formula
The blend is built around natural oils, chiefly hemp seed, almond, grapeseed and vitamin E, which are all conditioning ingredients well suited to being worked into the skin. Just as telling is what the brand leaves out: no parabens, no petroleum, and a vegan-friendly recipe, which makes it a considerate pick for people who read labels carefully.
The one ingredient worth flagging is almond oil. It is a common and pleasant massage oil, but it makes this product unsuitable for anyone with a nut allergy, and it is worth mentioning to a partner too. A small patch test first is sensible if either of you has sensitive skin.
How it is meant to be used
The idea is straightforward: warm a little in your hands, massage it in, then lick or nibble it away as part of the moment. That interactive element is really the whole point, so the strawberry taste and scent matter more than they would in a plain massage oil. Sweet fruit flavours are divisive, so if either of you dislikes that kind of thing, this will not be the one.
The formula is described as non-greasy, which is a genuine advantage for something you keep touching, though any oil will leave some residue. The 236ml bottle is genuinely generous and should stretch across many evenings rather than a single occasion.
The oil-and-condoms question
This is the most important practical point. Oil-based products break down latex, so this should not be used with latex condoms or with latex barriers. If contraception or barrier protection is part of your evening, a water-based edible gel is the safer choice.
It is also worth remembering that edible massage oils are made for external skin, not as an internal lubricant. Used as intended, for massage and playful tasting, it does exactly what it sets out to do.
Care and cleaning
Store the bottle closed, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, to keep the natural oils and the strawberry scent fresh. Keeping the cap clean helps it pour smoothly each time.
Because it is oil-based, expect it to mark fabric. A towel underneath is wise, and any residue on skin wipes away with a warm cloth or comes off in the shower. Oil stains on sheets are best treated promptly rather than left to set.
How it compares
Against water-based edible gels, this oil has the edge on skin feel and conditioning, and it doubles convincingly as a proper massage medium rather than just a flavoured novelty. The trade-off is the latex incompatibility and the potential for stained bedding.
Against plain unscented massage oils, the flavour is the differentiator. If you want massage without the tasting element, an unscented oil avoids the divisive strawberry note entirely. Choose this one specifically because you want that shared, playful dimension.
The bottom line
As an edible massage oil, this is a well-considered, generously sized option with a clean ingredient list that will please many couples looking for playful, unhurried intimacy. Buy it if the strawberry flavour appeals and neither partner has a nut allergy, but look to a water-based product if you use latex condoms or want to avoid oil on your sheets.
Frequently asked questions
Is this oil safe to use with condoms?
No. It is oil-based, and oils degrade latex, so it should not be used with latex condoms or latex barriers. If you need barrier protection, choose a water-based edible product instead.
Can people with nut allergies use it?
No. The formula contains almond oil, so it is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Always check the full ingredient list and consider a patch test if you have any sensitivities.
Is it actually safe to eat?
It is formulated as an edible massage oil intended to be licked off the skin during play. It is designed for external use in that way rather than for consuming in quantity, and it is not an internal lubricant.
How long will the 236ml bottle last?
At 236ml it is a generous size and, used a little at a time, should comfortably last across many sessions rather than a single evening.
Will it stain the sheets?
As with any oil-based product, it can leave marks on fabric. Laying down a towel and treating any residue promptly is the sensible approach.
