FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is massage cream?

Massage cream is a rich product made from a combination of oil and water. The unique ratio of ingredients results in a coveted lubricant that provides a nice glide, while allowing for a firm grip necessary for some modalities. Creams have longer workability than lotions without sacrificing absorption rate, and once worked in, leave the skin smooth and supple.

When should I use cream instead of oil or lotion?

Ideal for sore or spasmodic muscles, massage creams are a great option for deep tissue or sports massage modalities that require a longer working time with a good amount of glide. They are also a great carrier lubricant for aromatherapy massage and effective on moisturizing extremely dry skin without leaving a greasy feeling behind.

Is there a difference between ‘Cream’ and ‘Creme?’

The only difference between the use of the term ‘creme’ versus ‘cream’ is in the spelling. The word ‘creme’ is the French word for ‘cream.’ When comparing products, we suggest reviewing the ingredients in each as manufacturers use the phrases interchangeably, generally speaking.

Can I warm Massage Creams?

Before warming any massage lubricant, please reference the manufacturer’s guidelines. That said, most creams can be warmed in a bottle warmer. Testing before using in a service will avoid mishaps such as overheating or product separation.

Is Massage Cream pumpable?

Some massage creams are pumpable but many are not due to the product’s viscosity. Please reference the manufacturer’s guidelines for more information.

If purchasing in bulk, be sure to refill smaller containers with a spoon or spatula to avoid touching product with your hands and seal tightly upon completion.
