What big names have you found

[hamsmeseRop]

I have recently been doing some international research regarding massage oils and creams. I know Biotone is a seemingly HUGE American Massage Lubricant supplier in the states. I also know Miossage / Miother was fairly popular in Canada years ago and was trying to expand to the USA. I did recently have someone in the Philippines tell me they were having the hardest time finding someone out there that would supply them.

This all lead me to wondering:
What large companies do you know of out there that are “trusted” and have a reasonably good / affordable product for professional massage practitioners like us?
I know many people make their own massage products however I was specifically wondering what companies out there people choose to use on a regular base. (Outside of the ones I mentioned already of course)
Anyone outside of North America please also feel free to answer this question too as it is often hard to get an accurate picture of what is happening outside of North America at times.

I am so looking forward to everyone’s reply! I hope to keep this thread positive and not product bash if we can avoid it? Nor promote a product in particular if needed.

Thanks everyone!

I look forward to your replies

Some of my favorites are:

http://www.sacredearthbotanicals.com While they're not techically a "big" company they are definitely an up and coming company. Great lotions, cremes and oils (I like their creme) that are all organic.

http://www.lotustouch.com/lotustouchhome.aspx They use no nut oils and have a "regular" line and an organic line. I like their Moisture Rich Cream.

http://www.twelvecorners.com/ Another smaller company that has great products. I love their radiant massage cream in the Mother's Wish fragrance.

Massage Warehouse is a supplier that's popular among U.S. Therapists.
Gotyourback.com is where I shop for a lot of my supplies.
Pure Pro, Therapro & FX are all popular massage creams.

I've been very happy with their creme. It's very thick and a little goes a long way. AND even better, they have a pump that will actually pump out thick creme so I don't have to scoop it and worry about cleaning out the container between every client (no double-dipping here.)

We recently started carrying their products in our store and while talking to the owner, Kyle, I mentioned this board to him and invited him to come and visit.

They do have a really nice website. Thanks for sharing them with us / me.

Is there anyone out side of North America that knows also of local companies they like?

I got my samples. I have tried them out with a few clients and I think I will be switching! They sent samples of oil, lotion, and cream - along with a sample of their lip balm. Very nice company to do business with it seems.
