Earthly Body Edible Massage Oil Vanilla 2oz Review
Editor's opinion
This is a natural, flavoured massage oil aimed at couples who want massage that can turn playful. The vanilla taste and skin-conditioning blend are the draw, but the nut oils and small 2oz size are worth weighing before you buy.
Earthly Body's edible massage oil sets out to do two jobs at once: give a proper massage glide, then be pleasant enough to taste when things move closer. The vanilla version leans into a warm, sweet note, which is about as crowd-pleasing a flavour as these products come.
What a buyer should weigh is what the ingredients mean in practice. A blend built around almond, apricot, grapeseed and hemp oils behaves like an oil, not a water-based product, and that carries real implications for how you use it, what it should not go near, and who might need to avoid it.
The good and the bad
What works
- Vanilla flavour designed to be tasted safely
- Natural oil blend that conditions rather than sits greasy
- Long glide, so less stopping to reapply
- No power, batteries or charging to think about
What to be aware of
- Contains almond and apricot oil, so unsuitable for nut allergies
- Oil base is not compatible with latex condoms
- Small 2oz bottle will not last long over full-body massage
- Flavoured oils near intimate areas can be a personal preference
Buy it if
Couples who enjoy giving each other massage and want a natural, sweet-tasting oil that can shift from soothing to flirtatious.
Skip it if
Anyone with a nut allergy, or anyone relying on latex condoms during the session should choose a nut-free or water-based alternative instead.
The blend and what it means
The oil is described as a 100% natural mix of hemp, almond, grapeseed, apricot and vitamin E. That combination is chosen for glide and skin conditioning, and vitamin E is a common inclusion for its moisturising reputation. Because these are true skin oils rather than a water-based gel, the product will feel slick and last a while between applications, which is exactly what you want for an unhurried massage.
The flip side is that almond and apricot are nut and stone-fruit oils. Anyone with a nut allergy, or massaging a partner who has one, should steer clear entirely. It is a genuine consideration rather than a formality, since the whole point of an edible oil is that it ends up tasted.
How it is meant to be used
The intended routine is simple: warm a little between your palms, then work it in with long, steady strokes. The generous slip means you should not need to top up constantly, and the vanilla flavour is what invites the massage to become more playful and close.
One practical point the marketing does not raise: oil-based products degrade latex. If condoms are part of your evening, this oil should not come into contact with them, and you would be better served by a water-based option for that part.
Care, cleaning and shelf life
Being an oil, it will leave a mark on fabrics, so old sheets or a towel underneath are sensible. It rinses from skin with warm water and soap, though oils can linger a little more than water-based formulas.
Natural oil blends can also turn over time, so it is worth using it within a reasonable window and storing it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight rather than treating it as an indefinite drawer item.
Size and how it compares
At 2oz, or roughly 57ml, this is a modest bottle. For focused massage of the back, shoulders or feet it will go a fair distance, but for repeated full-body sessions it will empty faster than you might expect, so think of it as a taster or an occasional treat rather than a bulk supply.
Compared with unflavoured massage oils, the appeal here is squarely the tastable vanilla. Compared with water-based edible gels, it offers better glide and skin conditioning but loses on condom compatibility and washability. Which matters more depends entirely on how you plan to use it.
The bottom line
As a warm, sweet-tasting massage oil for couples, this is a sensible, natural-blend choice that does what it sets out to do. Just be sure no one involved has a nut allergy, keep it away from latex condoms, and accept that the small bottle makes it a treat rather than a staple.
Frequently asked questions
Is this oil safe to taste?
Yes, it is formulated as an edible massage oil with a vanilla flavour, so it is intended to be tasted as well as applied to the skin.
Can I use it with condoms?
No. It is an oil-based product, and oils degrade latex condoms. If condoms are part of your session, keep the oil away from them and use a water-based lubricant for that purpose.
Is it suitable if someone has a nut allergy?
No. The blend contains almond and apricot oils, so anyone with a nut or stone-fruit allergy, or their partner, should avoid it and choose a nut-free alternative.
Will it leave a greasy residue?
The blend is designed to absorb as you work it in and condition the skin rather than sit on top, though as a true oil it can still mark fabrics, so a towel underneath is wise.
How long will the bottle last?
At 2oz, around 57ml, it suits focused massage well but will empty faster over full-body sessions, so treat it as an occasional indulgence rather than a large supply.
