Non-staining Cream with Long Shelf Life?

[Lindsay G]

Right now I 'm using oil, and I prefer to use a pump bottle for ease of use during a massage so I don't have to take my hands off the client to get more oil.
However, I want to avoid the messy dripping that happens with oil and pump bottles, and so would like to find a cream to use to put in a jar in my holster.

Does anyone have a massage cream (or lotion) they can recommend? One that does not mark white sheets and has a long shelf life are very important!

Thank you.

Not a cream, but I use 100% jojoba. it washes out of clothes and sheets, never goes rancid, you don't have to use much to get great glide and grip, and it has no odor, so you can fancy it up with essential oils if you wish.

I'm so confident about the washability that I sometimes wear a nice linen dress to work because it's comfy, and it always comes clean.

It looks expensive when you buy it, but you really don't need to use much.

I use paraffin massage cream by Elta. It's the only thing I've been able to use long term and not develop a reaction to it.

I order by the case, direct from the company. 4 gallons cost just under $200 with shipping last time I ordered. It does contain parabens so I keep a small quantity of oil on hand for clients who request that. Most of my clients really like the cream though.

I use Natural Formulations Sunflower Deep Tissue Lotion. Use more, more glide... use less, less glide. Pumps through a lotion bottle/holster contraption.

Another vote for sacred earth botanicals, they make a high quality product.

One hint for extending the shelf life of your cream/lotion/oil is to keep the large container in either a refrigerator or dark, cool closet and only remove the amount you will need for a few days at a time. This will "keep" the cream longer.
