Nuru Massage Gel 500ml | Massage Oil Alternative | Organic Aloe Vera, Seaweed, Green Tea, Liquorice & Vitamin B5 | Water Based | Paraben & Glycerine Free | Body-to-Body Formula

Nuru massage is more of a sensual full body style massage with a lot of body on body contact and this gel offers a great lubrication that doesn't stain you or your towels and sheets. It is not ready out of the bottle and shouldn't be used like regular massage oil where you just squirt some on and start rubbing. Think of it as a concentrate that you dilute to a preferred consistency before the massage. So this 16.9oz bottle is much much more gel in use and goes a long way. I'd say 2:1 water:gel was a good ratio that the gel absorbed up and still provided a good hydration and lubrication. A couple things to note when using this gel is if it feels sticky instead of slick you should add more water. You should also apply it to moistened skin and not dry as it will pull moisture from the gel and make it stickier. So a misting spray bottle with some water is pretty handy. It will slowly absorb into the skin but with adding water and sweat it will lubricate for a good while before needing to reapply more. Don't try to wash it all off at once after use. Wipe off the gel with towels (paper or cloth) to get rid of excess and wash the small amount that remains on the surface of the skin. If you try to wash the gel straight up it will keep absorbing the water until it breaks down which can be a lot. Diluted gel washes away fairly easily though after mixing together with water and you want to wash your hands. So after use wipe dry then wash it off in the shower. Overall it seems like a good quality nuru massage gel and seems right in the middle of the price range I looked at on Amazon which ranged from $0.90-3.00+/oz of gel. So it's doesn't seem overpriced. So pretty happy with it.

This is a review for: "Nuru Massage Gel (16.9 fl oz) | Water-Based | Paraben & Glycerine Free | Formulated with Natural Seaweed, Green Tea, Liquorice Extract, Vitamin B5, & Organic Aloe Vera" I got this to replenish my empty massage oils that I use on my wife and since it is on here I decided to try it out after seeing the different ingredients. I love that it is water based which makes it much easier to cut for a slick smooth feel as it seems to be too concentrated in the bottle as is. The price point seems to be high but with the knowledge that cutting it can make it last longer it may end up being a good value overall. This gel is low odor and so I didn't notice any scent to it. The smooth slick feel is both moisturizing and allowed my hands to glide easily as I was pressing and kneading out the knots in my wife back and shoulders. It comes with a nice squirt cap as well for easily getting the contents out in the moment. It washes off the hands easily and I did not notice any staining after cleanup. I would recommend this.

The texture is super slick — almost like liquid silk — and it stays that way far longer than regular oils or lotions. I liked that it’s unscented and didn’t leave any sticky residue; cleanup was just a quick rinse. You can adjust the thickness by adding water, which took a little experimenting to get right. Too much, and it becomes runny; too little, and it’s hard to spread evenly. Once we got the mix down, though, it felt professional-grade. My fiancée has sensitive skin, and she didn’t have any irritation, which says a lot. It’s not cheap, but the bottle goes a long way. Great for both relaxation massages and more intimate sessions.

I don't know if I got a bad one, but the pump they sent with mine is too short. I uploaded a picture showing that there is about a 1" difference in length between the pump straw and what it would take to hit the bottom of the bottle. That isn't a huge deal, the cap that comes on it is a squeeze cap with a flip open lid, but now I'll have to hang on to that cap for when the bottle is getting low. Other than that, this is a very slippery massage gel. It has no smell to it at all and no color, so I think it probably won't stain things. I haven't had any problems with staining so far. It seems like all the ingredients are pretty harmless and maybe even good for the skin. It does take a bit of work to wash it off as it's quite slick and water soluble. Probably best to use it before taking a shower unless maybe you are just massaging a small area. It's a pretty large bottle, and a little goes a long way so I think this is a fairly decent value.

This massage gel is slightly thicker than I am used to. The good part is that it will cling to your palm and so it is easier to apply without making a mess, however. I was surprised that other massage gels that I used as a comparison seemed to be more moisturizing. Although this says it is unscented, I think it has a very light, slightly soapy smell. Clean is always an attractive smell and so I think you could easily use it for a man or woman. No one in my household tried it to see if it was actually flavorless as advertised or not. The amount of massage gel was very generous and there is enough in the container for several massages.
