Santa Barbara Massage Cream was created to fill the need for an all natural lubricant. It has all the benefits of olive oil mixed with the healing properties of essential oils. It was specifically made for deep tissue styles of massage. Santa Barbara Massage Cream offers a nice resistance that allows the therapist to penetrate deeply into the tissues, and its smooth and luxurious feel makes it perfect for lighter Swedish styles. Clients don’t leave the session feeling oily, because only a small amount of cream is needed. A revolution in massage cream!

We initially created this cream to use in our Deep Tissue and Neuromuscular Therapy classes. We wanted a truly natural cream with a good resistance for deep work, and smooth glide for relaxation work. We spend long hours of the day with cream covering our forearms. We don't want any chemicals seeping into our bloodstream. Simpler is better- and safer for us as therapists.
Because it is thick, this cream will never spill on a client's expensive rug.

Have you ever applied tons of liquid oil on a pair of hairy legs- trying to get some glide? Just a little SB Massage Cream creates a great glide on hairy legs. By using so little- people don't end up feeling oily after the massage.

The biggest mistake people make in using our cream- they use too much. Each 8 oz. jar should last for 16-20 full body massages.

Essential Oils

CLARY SAGE has an earthy, nutty scent that is balancing, grounding and soothing. It has properties similar to estrogen and is often used to regulate periods, relieve tension and balance hormones. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it for its euphoric effects as an aphrodisiac. Modern aromatherapist's recommend it for peri-menopausal women whose libido's have ebbed, and it has been known to be useful in treating acne, softening wrinkles, and helping to control cellulite. Clary sage should not be used by people with epilepsy, breast, uterine or ovarian cysts; or during pregnancy.
LAVENDER is one of the most widely used, all-around oils on the market today as a fragrance and for medicinal purposes. Unlike other oils, it can be applied directly on the skin. It's wonderful for relieving headaches and stress, promoting restful sleep, and even lowering high blood pressure. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory for joint problems, or as an antibiotic for bites, stings and cuts, and is great for wrinkles and acne. Two to three drops added to a facial steamer 15 minutes a day will help clear up unpredictable breakouts and prevent scarring.

Ingredients

OLIVE OIL - The olive tree, imported from Greece over 2500 years ago, has held the esteemed position through the ages as a symbol of peace, goodness and purity. The ancient Greeks stockpiled olive oil for economic security because of its long shelf life. Superstitious folk in medieval times used it to drive out evil spirits. Thick, luxurious and delicious, olive oil is not only good nutritionally, it is also a wonderful beauty secret for dry skin. A few drops massaged onto the face at night is great for deep moisturizing, as it absorbs into the skin beautifully.

COCONUT OIL comes from the meat of the coconut and is rich with lauric acid, which has antiviral and antibacterial properties. Older generations used to grate fresh coconut,extract the coconut milk, and let the milk stand in a covered bucket until, about 24-36 hours later, the water separated from the oil. High-grade virgin coconut oil has a very long shelf life because of its natural anti-oxidant properties. It's wonderful as a digestive aid, has been known to be a powerful agent in destroying intestinal parasites. Recently, studies have shown this oil to be one of the healthiest substances to use on the skin - that it actually increases the metabolism, which helps to lose weight.

BEES WAX is the simple and pure bi-product of a honeybee and one of the key ingredients in the most highly regarded natural skin products. It makes a wonderful skin softening balm with a lovely texture and feel. Most people think the most important substance created from the honeybee is honey, but actually honeybees primary job is pollination and without these vital workers, our crops would not flourish. Bees are considered to be highly intelligent insects, as exemplified by the little dance they perform to communicate to each other where to find the best flowers! In Medieval times, beeswax was quite valuable not only as a quality candle wax, but as a bartering commodity.
