Why use a massage balm instead of an oil
Tui Massage Balms are made from an all-natural blend of certified organic New Zealand beeswax, almond oil, olive oil, vitamin E, arnica, and high-quality essential oils. Their semi-solid consistency offers superior friction compared to massage oils, eliminating handling and spillage issues.
Tui Massage & Body Balm can be applied smoothly without interrupting the flow of the massage and does not matt body hair. It is also surprisingly economical; remember, “less is best.” Clients should not feel greasy or need to shower afterward.
The no-spill formula and easy portioning lead to cleaner towels. To remove any accidental residue from linens, rub in some dishwashing liquid and wash in hot water.
