A Gentle Massage Oil Designed for Comfort
Have you ever wondered what massage oil is used during your treatment?
At Tsingtao Wellness Spa, many of our massage services use Holly Oil as our primary massage oil because it offers a smooth glide, feels light on the skin, and is suitable for most skin types.
Unlike many traditional massage oils, Holly Oil is hypoallergenic, non-nut based, and unscented, making it an excellent choice for guests with sensitive skin or those who prefer fragrance-free treatments.
What Is Holly Oil?
Holly Oil is made using extracts from the branches and leaves of the holly tree and is blended with carefully selected ingredients to create a professional massage oil.
Its lightweight texture allows therapists to perform smooth massage techniques while helping the skin feel moisturized and comfortable after treatment.
Because it is unscented, Holly Oil also works well as a carrier oil for aromatherapy, allowing essential oils to be added without altering their natural fragrance.
Perfect for Aromatherapy
Many of our massage treatments include optional aromatherapy.
Because Holly Oil is fragrance-free, it blends beautifully with essential oils, allowing the natural aroma of each oil to shine while providing a comfortable massage experience.

Why Do Our Therapists Use Holly Oil?
We choose Holly Oil because it offers several advantages during massage therapy.
🌿 Hypoallergenic Formula
Holly Oil is formulated to be gentle on most skin types and is free from nut-based oils, making it a suitable option for many guests with sensitivities.
💧 Lightweight & Easy to Absorb
Unlike heavier oils that can leave a greasy feeling, Holly Oil absorbs comfortably into the skin while providing excellent glide for massage techniques.
Many guests appreciate how soft and refreshed their skin feels after treatment.
🌸 Fragrance-Free
Because Holly Oil is unscented, it won't compete with your favorite essential oils.
This makes it an excellent carrier oil for aromatherapy massage, allowing lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, or other essential oils to be added when desired.
✨ Rich in Vitamin E
Holly Oil contains Vitamin E, an ingredient commonly used in skincare products to help support healthy-looking skin and provide moisturizing benefits.
