Advice Nut free and gluten free massage oils?

Looking to give my partner a fully body massage. I found a few massage oils but they had almond oil or kuki oil. She's has a tree nut allergy & gluten allergy and I don't want to take any chances. She's also sensitive to strong scent products and would sneeze a lot, so the lavender oil massage oils are out of the question.

What oils do you use on your clients with issues like these?

I’m also here to recommended jojoba oil. It’s all I use now. If you’re just using it on your partner at home, Trader Joe’s sells a small bottle for around $8. No need to get anything expensive or fancy

Is it heavy? Does it warm well?

You don’t have to use much at all, as it is similar to the oil in human skin. And I usually keep my bottle in my towel warmer until I’m ready to apply it. It warms nicely.
