Do massage oils hurt your eyes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: Most massage oils are benign and while one would not purposely get them into the eyes, if a little gets in by accident there should be no harm.

Typically, No: Typically, massage oils should not hurt your eyes, if they accidentally got in there. I would recommend flushing your eyes, should you be exposed. However, some massage oils have other ingredients added to them for various effects. Some of these ingredients may cause irritation and/or damage. If you are having any pain, burning, or changes in vision after your eyes, see a doc asap.
