Cleanliness, Hygiene & Oil Information

At Mint ‘n Co Massage, we prioritise creating a fresh and hygienic environment for all guests. All towels and sheets are washed after each use, and we avoid using strong-scented fabric softeners, as we understand some may find the scent overpowering. For your comfort and hygiene, we also use disposable sheets in certain areas.

In terms of oils, we use unscented massage oil blended with essential oils for most body treatments. However, during pregnancy, we exclusively use natural almond oil for safety. If you have any skin concerns or sensitivities, we are happy to adjust the oils used in other treatments based on your preferences.

If you have any special requests, please feel free to inform us in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
