"I was searching for something to help with my husband’s neck pain and my own back pain, and this product really works for us. The natural ingredients are a big plus. Sometimes, when the pain isn’t too severe, this is all we need, and as a bonus, it leaves our skin soft and smelling great."

"As an LMT with a decade of experience, I’ve tried countless lotions, but this one is my go-to for consistent quality and performance. The unscented formula offers ideal glide for clients, and the value is unbeatable. I only wish it came with a bigger pump, but that’s a minor issue given all the benefits."

"After much research, I landed on this lotion for at-home massages. It’s not greasy, lasts through a full massage, and doesn’t stain my sheets. The mild scent is just right. I’ll definitely be buying it again."

"I first discovered this lotion in massage school years ago and it’s still my favorite. It’s thick, smooth, and absorbs beautifully. My only minor gripe is that the tube’s opening could be bigger for easier use."

"As a therapist with over 30 years’ experience, I’ve found this product offers exceptional glide and control, especially for deep, slow massage work. I only need a small amount to get the right consistency, and it never feels sticky or greasy. I just wish there was a bottle version for easier use during sessions."
