BIOTONE Dual Purpose Massage Creme, 2 x Gallons, DPC1G

I am a massage therapist I use cream for massage deep tissue

Many professional massage therapists use Biotone Dual Purpose in their practice from my experience going to many around the US. It's so good we use it at home, too. There are many self-massage techniques we use to enhance our health and help ease the pains from our myriad of issues. Arnica and Ivy are both good for circulation, arnica helps with bruising and sprains, strains and more. Knotted muscles? Overworked muscles? I use dual purpose to help me work these out. I've been able to show my husband, the most of novice at massage techniques, enough that he's really good at working out my various issues- dual tone helps make the most novice feel like a pro!I really appreciate the hypo-allergenic nature and with it being free of petroleum based dyes- something that Biofreeze needs to have removed as it always makes me sick after a massage therapist mistakenly uses it on me (FD&C Blue 1 is a bad player!)When I routinely use Dual Purpose, dry skin is a thing of the past. We literally do not buy any other lotion or skin creme other than  Biotone Advanced Therapy Massage Lotion Gallon #ATL1G  which ironically works very well in our lotion and soap dispenser.I recommend the Dual Purpose Creme for professionals and home use, alike. The only drawback for Dual Purpose is due to being so thick it would not generally work in a pump dispenser (unless perhaps warmed?) which is not only a necessity for many LMTs, but also a requirement in some states (and I know of LMTs who disregard that requirement by using Dual Purpose anyway as it's just that good.)

I love how easy it is to use Biotone massage creme. It glides very well and has a nice smooth texture.

Great lotion

I’ve been using this brand for forever and this particular type is awesome. It has a great glide so if you are using any stainless steel toys for scar tissue break up or fascia, it works perfectly well. No need to reapply. For people who have oily skin, I would still recommend you scrub afterwards to prevent breakouts.

Good value. Doesn’t smell and isn’t greasy. Great use for people who like a light cream that isn’t smelly or hard to use.

I've been using this for ten years. Every once in awhile I try something else but nothing else lets me return 20-30 minutes later for long strokes without having to reapply. As long as I put it on gently I can do deep tissue work. My clients never feel greasy when they go to put their clothes on. It always washes out of my sheets. I used to throw them away every 6 months when I used oils, now I throw them away because they are falling apart at the seams. Only 2 people in 30 years needed me to use something else because they were so sensitive. Even though the product says "fragrance" in the ingredients it is only the fragrance of the herbs in it. I don't know why they do that, they probably lose a lot of customers.

Have always disliked scooping out the lotion and putting it into tubes. Made up a hack. Scoop into a sandwich bag first. Cut the bottom corner off and then squeeze into the work tubes. Done
