<p>I second the Sacred Earth botanicals. Organic, all natural, long lasting. The only downside is that for me, I have to mix the lotion and cream to get the consistency that I want. The creme is much too slippery for deep work and the lotion is too thin. Every weekend, I mix equal amounts of both to make my bottles for the week. Mixed together, they provide the perfect blend of what I want. I've been fortunate to find a chemist/herbalist who runs a shop near my office and she has offered to…</p>

<p>I used to enjoy Biotone (as did my clients) but I didn't enjoy the parabens in the lotions and cremes. Their organic blend is questionable as well. I'll have to re-read the ingredient list to remember what it was I didn't like about that one.</p>

<p>We all have our own favorites for a variety of reasons. I recommend that you order samples from various companies and play around to determine what YOU like!</p> Wow, talk about a delayed rea…tag:massageprofessionals.com,2011-07-30:2887274:Comment:1966092011-07-30T02:06:35.103ZAlyson C Schlobohmhttps://massageprofessionals.com/profile/AlysonSchlobohm
Wow, talk about a delayed reaction! (I never sign up for notifications on any site). I did try a pump and it was even more of a pain - refilling and "pumping". I use jars for other reasons but prefer to keep my cream in my holster, so basically I'll just keep using it and complaining about it ;)<br></br>

I am in love with Pure Touch Organic Cream by Biotone, as well. I have tried a variety of products, but keep returning to Biotone.<br/>

Ive been using lotus touch multi purpose massage creme, it has some oil mixed in and the glide last, and a little goes a long way. It has some coloring (green tint) but there is no smell. I love this product!

<p>I want to chime in with my all time favorite. I have used Soothing Touch, Bon Vital, and Biotone creams - and the are all great. However, Sacred Earth Botanicals cream is outstanding! A little goes a long way (and it should for the price).</p>

Massage Gnome, Laura, Rick and Alyson thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. There are so many products available it is nice to be able to narrow the group down to a few that other people have used and had positive experiences.

I've tried a few different things, but always go back to Biotone. The only issue I have with them is that I prefer the Arnica and Ivy cream for deeper tissue work, but refilling the tube is a total pain and it causes the tube to malfunction, which can be embarrassing during a massage when it flies across the room and hits something. The Chamomile and Lavender lotion is really nice, but it's definitely scented.
