This advanced massage cream is formulated specifically for physiotherapeutic applications, offering a balanced combination of emollients, humectants, and bioactive compounds to support tissue manipulation, skin barrier integrity, and patient comfort during clinical massage sessions.
The cream features a high aqueous phase (Aqua) to enhance spreadability and prevent excessive friction during manual therapy. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride function as non-comedogenic emollients, providing skin barrier support while allowing extended massage time without residue buildup. These lipids also possess anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for sensitive or compromised skin.
Glycerin and Propylene Glycol serve as potent humectants, facilitating dermal hydration and improving skin pliability, which is essential for effective soft tissue mobilization. Ethylhexyl Olivate, derived from olive oil esters, enhances skin glide and mimics natural sebum, improving skin texture without leaving a greasy feel.
The inclusion of Sodium Acrylates Copolymer and Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate provides a stable cream-gel matrix that allows controlled release of active ingredients while maintaining a smooth application profile.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5) promotes epidermal regeneration and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), supporting skin resilience under frequent manipulation. Arnica Montana Flower Extract, known for its anti-ecchymotic and anti-inflammatory actions, may support localized relief in areas affected by muscle strain or post-traumatic bruising.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E acetate) acts as a lipid-soluble antioxidant, protecting skin lipids from oxidative stress during prolonged treatment sessions. The cream is preserved with a dermatologically accepted combination of Dehydroacetic Acid and Benzyl Alcohol, ensuring product stability and minimizing microbial contamination risk.
Mild fragrance is included for a pleasant olfactory experience without overpowering clinical environments. This formulation is ideal for physiotherapists seeking a functional, dermatologically safe massage medium that complements rehabilitative interventions and enhances patient care.
