Really easy to work with. It does not leave grease residues.

The gel is awesome. It got 4 stars because I had to buy a different pump that had a pump lock on it. This one doesn’t lock unless you press it all the way down and turn. That doesn’t work for me as I’m a traveling therapist.

It dries up too quickly on my client skin. I didn't like it

I've used arnica over the years for sports injuries to help relieve them, so I was excited to try this arnica-included massage gel. I'm not used to the feeling of gel vs oil but I actually think I preferred this. I wouldn't call it a gel, more like a lotion. It went on slick and not sticky, oily but not greasy. I didn't notice a smell when my partner applied it, and he said that from the masseuse perspective it had enough "grip" vs oil, but enough lubrication to allow smooth movement along my skin.

This PURA Unscented 1st Arnica Gel for Muscle Relief smells like old olive oil, but goes on nicely. It's shiny but not greasy. I can still snap my fingers after using it. I add a couple of drops of essential oil and massage my feet. It's smooth and isn't too messy. I do have to put on socks after using it because the oil will transfer to fabrics if I do not. I've had no issues dispensing the oil, and neither have I noticed any irritations. I'm decently satisfied with this oil.

My husband has been using this massage oil on me nightly since we got it and I really like it. I do not have the issue with it drying too quickly and he doesn't need to reapply that often for a long massage. It allows him to really get into it and do deep tissue massage. I like that it is unscented and it has not irritated my skin at all.

I received this item through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review. I ordered this massage gel because my wife and I enjoy backrubs and needed something to provide glide. When my order arrived, I put one pump worth of the gel in my hand. It is indeed odorless, not even a hint of the olive oil ingredient. Rubbed on the skin, it felt very oily and my skin was quite shiny. I was afraid that it would actually be greasy and perhaps be hard to remove from my hands, maybe requiring a lot of soap. I read that it was "water dispersable" on the label, but it just didn't feel like it. I went to the sink with my camera in hand to show the water beading up on my skin. Lo and behold, the water alone rinsed my hand completely, no beading of the water, no residue at all... very impressive. My next test was how an accidental spill or blob would affect fabric. I took an old shirt and put some gel on the sleeve and let it sit for about an hour. Then I rinsed it thoroughly and let it dry. Unfortunately the gel left an oil stain on the fabric. While that stain might wash out in the laundry, it isn't going to just come out with water. If residue from the gel on a persons back then transferred to their clothes, it would leave a stain. Just a heads up.

This is actually really awesome. I'm not a professional by any means, but it felt like I was with this! 2 pumps is all it took to massage an entire adult back. A little goes a long way. Recipient of said massage said it didn't feel greasy after it had a chance to dry. my hands while I did wash them didn't feel like I had to scrub forever to get it off, was very water soluble. Definitely let's you glide skin on skin, would recommend and buy again.
