My review
A
10 years of experience in intimate retail
What I like about an edible massage oil is that it removes the line between massage and kisses. This one stays simple: a floral almond note, no warming effect, no tingling. A straightforward oil, made to glide and to be tasted.
As for the formula, Shunga uses a blend of plant oils with vitamin E, no added sugar, and promises a glide with no greasy residue. The 240 ml bottle is generous enough for several sessions.
Two things to keep in mind: it contains sesame oil, so it is not for people with allergies, and it is not a lubricant. My advice: keep it for the body, and have a suitable lubricant ready if the massage becomes more intimate.

Who is it for?
Who it is for: couples who like to mix massage, caresses and kisses, and anyone who prefers soft scents to very sweet notes. It is also an easy gift idea for an evening for two.
Who it is not for: people allergic to sesame, and anyone looking for an intimate lubricant or a product compatible with latex condoms.

Why I selected it for the shop
I added it because it completes Shunga's Organica range with an almond scent that is softer than the fruity notes, and because the manufacturer publishes its full ingredient list. It is a good option when you want an edible oil with no warming effect.
Description
In short: Shunga Organica edible massage oil with an almond blossom scent and flavour, in a 240 ml bottle. A blend of plant oils (cold-pressed sunflower, rapeseed, grape seed, avocado, sesame) with vitamin E, no added sugar and vegan according to Shunga. It glides over the skin and is kissable. External use only, it is not an intimate lubricant. Made in Canada.
With a classic massage oil, the massage often stops where the kisses begin. This one is designed so the two can blend: Shunga describes it as a "kissable" oil, with a soft, floral almond note. You massage, you brush the skin with your lips, and you are not left with a cosmetic taste in your mouth.
A plant oil base, with no warming effect
The formula combines several plant oils, including a cold-pressed sunflower oil, with vitamin E. Shunga promises a silky glide, with no greasy film, that does not clog pores. No warming or tingling effect here: the warmth comes from your hands. A useful detail: the almond note comes from the flavouring, not from almond oil, which is not in the ingredient list.
What to know before you choose it
- It contains sesame oil: avoid it if you are allergic to sesame.
- It is an oil: it is not meant for intimate use or for use with a latex condom. For those moments, pick a product from the lubricants instead.
- If you are looking for a 100% natural formula, note that the ingredient list includes BHT, a synthetic antioxidant.
- Like any oil, it can stain fabric: a towel under the body keeps your sheets clean.
For a long massage for two
The 240 ml bottle is enough for several full-body massages, to be used within 12 months of opening. If you are torn between scents, the other massage oils are gathered in one place, and the whole range is on the Shunga page.

Alicia's tip for this product
Pour a small amount of oil into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together to bring it to body temperature. Then spread it with slow, enveloping strokes, and add more as needed. If you like a warmer touch, Shunga says you can warm the bottle in hot water: always check the temperature on your hand before applying.
External use only: avoid contact with the eyes, do not use it as an intimate lubricant or with a latex condom, and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use it if you are sensitive to any of its ingredients (it contains sesame oil). Close the bottle tightly and use within 12 months of opening.
