Natural Product line for massage?

[Pompal 09.]

I am intrested in a product line that would be available wholesale for use in my clinic and as potential extra revenue for sales.  I am looking for a more natural product, that are safe for sensitive skin, and easy to massage with.  I currently use a grape seed oil to massage with but feel that I could offer a marketable product that clients could take home with them.  Lets say, one for exfoliation, one for moisturization, a good foot lotion, and some type of body butter, or even a spritzer.  Any ideas, or suggestions?  Have you tried this type of product sale for increase generation of revenue?  Did it work?  How do you feel about it?

"Natural" sounds good in theory. But don't forget that folks of all different shapes/sizes/colors/etc. have allergies. You  may want to put a sign up in front of your products that alerts them to the fact that you sell all natural products and that they should check the ingredients to ensure they are not buying something that could do more harm than good to them. You may also want to go so far as to have them sign something when they purchase the product that protects you from any legal actions they may take as a result of using the product and having a negative reaction to it. I know you have insurance (most likely) but it's possible your insurance won't cover products you're selling so check into that and see if that's the case before "going for it".Be well,Jen

I should have specified more clearly on "natural".  I was thinking more of a company produced product that has more natural ingredents but has been tested, and safe.  I know "aveda" products are more natural based and thats what I was thinking of not "home-made".  Also, I am from canada, so some things are not able to be sold here (I looked at the universalcompanies web catalogue and thats what I was thinking for, but they do not ship to Canada, is there something like it for canadians, or infact a BB for canadians like this one?)  I love the ideas here of scented massages and products to go along with is would be great if it was from a reputable company.  My clintel is high end and am looking for something to fit in along those lines.  Also, has anyone else tried this type of thing before?  Has it worked?

Wow.  I never would have thought Aveda didn't go over to Canada.Thanks for letting us know that little tid-bit, it may be useful to me sometime in the future.I'll keep an eye out for ya.

amtc -There is a company called Nature Synergy, Inc. (http://www.uniqueskincare.com) that was developed by massage therapists and is all natural based.  They have a program for massage therapists to use their products and sell them to clients after treatments.  I have used their products on myself, and like them, and I am considering using them at my office.Just a thought ...

Ugh. Aveda positions themselves as natural, but they are the industry's biggest posers. Their products contain parabens for crissakes.

Aubrey Organics are the most natural products I've found so far... and the founder's very well respected, he's done a lot to advance the field of safe products.

Paul Penders and John Masters are two other lines you might look into.

If you are looking for skin care, I recommend Arbonne International. I use their products for facials, footcials and other body treatments, though I blend my own massage oils for that purpose.

The products are vegan, botanically based, free from petroleum, chemical dyes and fragrances and they have several skin care lines for different needs (anti-aging, younger skin, MEN, acne etc). Their baby care line is excellent for those with sensitive skin, excema etc.

Link is in my siggy.
