I did check out the organic jojoba oils on iherb but there are mentions of a "chemical" smell which I may not like as I'm quite sensitive to plasticky/chemical smells. I may order it locally through a health shop but I get the impression that they decant it from a larger bottle, so the freshness is unknown.
I've tried sweet almond oil but it's too greasy to me and I couldn't wait to wash it off once the massage was over.
Sigh...I seem to over-analyse and over-research everything! 
Based on the fact that our potential breast growth depends a lot on our natural hormone levels, I personally am patiently waiting to get my blood test results back and, while I wait, I am getting nice swelling from massage, which makes me happy for now

I figure, better safe than sorry!! I see too many people on this forum and elsewhere severely messing up their ovulation cycles, AND people actually LOSING volume and size in their breasts because they made the wrong assumptions about what their breasts actually needed for growth. I don't want to take that chance, as I really don't have too much to afford to lose! I figure better to have a late start where I have an idea of what my breasts need (and therefore having a better chance with NBE), than to rush and go blindly into it, potentially causing health risks and causing myself a set back in my progress. But that's just my opinion

I like to be sure and careful when I do things. Plus my Doctor was proud of me to hear that I wanted to see my results before moving forward with anything.
Interesting about the "chemical" smell. That information link which I posted above is a write-up about a product called "Sweet Sweat" which is meant to help blood circulation in the area which you apply it. Jojoba is the main acting ingredient. I loved the idea of it, used it twice in one week and just a day after the second time I used it, I broke out in a rash from my buttocks down to my ankles, and on the backs of my arms down lighter around my hands. But the rash was REALLY bad on my legs, especially my butt cheeks

I haven't taken it since then (which was a week ago) and my rash is now completely gone. I have a very high level of histamine in my skin and so my skin is extremely sensitive. If your skin is sensitive too, I would advise you to continue being cautious about what you use!
*Also* I want to add here something I thought was interesting. This jojoba oil used in Sweet Sweat is, with exercise and elevated heart rate, supposed to help BURN OFF FAT in that location of the body in which you apply the product. Just in case anyone plans on rubbing jojoba oil on their breasts and then going out for a jog... might not be a good idea!! While the product is on the breasts, it is probably best if one maintains a lower heart rate, like under 100. With these lower heart rate conditions, it should just enhance the blood flow created by the massage to encourage tissue growth.
I don't know if you have tried this, but I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Gel Oil with Vitamin E with my massages and I just love it. I am getting great swelling so far and it has only been a week of using it, AND the skin condition on my breasts are improving, as well.
Over analyzing and researching everything is a flaw of mine, too

It's a good thing! Your body will thank you for it.
