Massage cream is a topical product designed for professional and home massages, formulated to provide a rich, moisturizing slip for hands to glide over the skin while also nourishing it. It allows for both easy gliding and, once absorbed, a bit more friction or grip, and is often easier to clean from fabrics than massage oils. Creams are typically thicker than lotions and are especially beneficial for dry skin, improving skin elasticity, and leaving it feeling soft and supple.
