Wicked Sage & Sea Salt Sensual Massage Cream 4 oz

Wicked Sage & Sea Salt Sensual Massage Cream is a rich massage cream that glides like an oil but sinks in like a lotion, leaving skin soft rather than slick. It has a fresh, herbal sage scent with a hint of sea air. The 4 oz size suits couples who want a relaxing, low-mess massage, and anyone who likes a spa-style self-massage after the shower.

Why a cream instead of an oil

Massage oil gives a long, slippery glide but leaves skin greasy and is easy to spill. A cream sits in between oil and lotion. It spreads smoothly and gives enough slip for slow strokes, then gradually absorbs, so you finish with soft, moisturized skin rather than an oily film. It's also easier to control: you scoop a small amount into your hand instead of pouring, so there's less mess on sheets and floors.

What's in it

The base is a blend of oils and butters: coconut oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, with aloe vera, vitamins A and E, and electrolytes (calcium, magnesium and potassium) for hydration. Sea salt and a long list of essential oils give the Sage + Sea Salt scent its character: sage and clary sage up front, with rosemary, lemon, mandarin, bergamot, sandalwood and vetiver underneath. The overall effect is fresh, herbal and slightly woody, more spa than dessert. Added fragrance rounds it out.

How to use it

Wicked's directions are simple. Put a small amount in your palm, rub your hands together to warm it, then work it slowly over the area you want to focus on. Shoulders, back, calves and feet are good places to start. Add a little more as it absorbs rather than starting with a big dollop. It works for solo self-massage after a bath as well as for partner massage as part of foreplay.

What it's not for

This is a skin cream, not a personal lubricant. Wicked's label warns to avoid contact with eyes and open skin, so keep it away from genitals and internal use. The oils and butters in it can weaken latex, so wash your hands before handling condoms after a massage. It contains sweet almond, coconut and soybean oils; if you have a nut or soy allergy, check the full ingredient list carefully. If irritation occurs, rinse with cool water and stop using it.
