Lotions & Creams

What professional lotions and creams are

Body lotions and creams are used to finish body treatments and as massage mediums, and many spas also retail them. Massage cremes and lotions are formulated for glide and workability over a full session, while finishing lotions absorb quickly.

Who buys them

Massage therapists, day spas, and resort spas, for treatment rooms and for retail shelves.

What to compare

• Glide and absorption for the type of massage or treatment you offer.
• Unscented and sensitive-skin options.
• Bulk sizes for the treatment room versus retail sizes.
• Ingredient standards the brand publishes.
• Whether the line also covers oils and gels, so a team can stay with one supplier.
