Trushea Shea Butter Balm is, quite simply, the ultimate massage balm. It offers significant application-based and commercial benefits over other massage mediums.

Shea Butter’s benefits as a massage balm are unparalleled. The feel is rich and luxurious, far superior to oils & creams. It has anti-inflammatory properties which help soothe and relieve pain in tired muscles and joints. It is all natural and contains no mineral oils, parabens, or other undesirable ingredients.

In addition to Trushea’s ability to enhance the massage, it also happens to posses a long list of incredible benefits for the skin. We recommend showering before the massage to clean the skin and loosen the muscles, while leaving the Trushea on the skin after the massage will be feeding and nurturing your skin.

Trushea has been developed to possess the perfect amount of slip to perform massage with. However, to suit particular applications or personal preferences the slip can be increased by simply adding oil. Trushea stays slippery longer on the skin, so there is more ‘hands on’ time during the massage and a fewer 'reloads'.

Trushea comes in a balm form, but it melts at body temperature, so a quick emulsification between the hands will result in the perfect texture for the massage.

Trushea is much different than massage oils, creams, and lotions. While there are quite a few oils out there that offer mild benefits to the skin, even the most beneficial of these (Jojoba, Avocado) pale in comparison to the benefits offered by Shea Butter. Further, most establishments find these types of oils to be too expensive to use for massage. The majority of massage oils are benign; they don’t hurt, but they don’t help either. The one thing all oils have in common is that they have a greasy feel to them, a feeling that makes no massage complete without a trip to the shower afterward.

Creams and lotions don’t feel greasy, but they can have a flimsy or watery feel during the massage and if the therapist tends toward heavy applications it can feel sticky afterward. Since the vast majority of creams and lotions are water based, most contain artificial preservatives. Further, because of manufacturer’s desires to offer their product at a lower cost, many popular massage creams/lotions are made with mineral oil, which is a petroleum byproduct.
