Made in Japan & Certified Vegan

Proudly manufactured in Japan with exceptional quality and attention to detail. Certified by VegeProject Japan. Free from parabens and glycerin for a clean, skin-safe formula.

Does Sakura have any scent?

No. Sakura is fragrance-free. The edition name is a cultural reference to the four key botanicals in the formula (aloe vera, seaweed, liquorice, and green tea), not a scent claim. No added fragrance, essential oils, or dyes.

What does Sakura feel like on the skin?

A smooth, silky gel that glides effortlessly. The aloe vera, seaweed, liquorice, and green tea extracts are chosen for their soothing and moisturising reputation in Japanese skincare, leaving skin feeling softer after rinsing.

How do I mix the powder?

Add 8.45 fl oz to 16.09 fl oz (250ml-500ml) of warm water (40°C/104°F) to a bowl. It is best to start with 250ml and then adjust consistency. Evenly sprinkle around one tsp (5g) of powder to every 16.09 fl oz (500ml) of warm water. Wait around five minutes for the mixture to completely form into massage gel. Apply to wet skin.

Is sodium polyacrylate safe? I've heard it's not natural.

Sodium polyacrylate sounds like a chemistry lab experiment, but it's actually approved as a food additive in Japan, one of the world's most rigorous food safety markets. It's non-toxic, non-irritating, and the ingredient responsible for that signature thick, slippery nuru feel. We've explored natural alternatives extensively, but nothing delivers the authentic experience our customers expect. We'd rather give you something that works safely and effectively than something that just sounds good on a label.

Can I store leftover mixed gel?

No. Our powders contain no preservatives, so mixed gel should be used for that session only and any remainder disposed of. The advantage of the powder format is that you mix fresh every time. For sessions where you only need 500ml, scoop out about 1 teaspoon (roughly 5g) of powder and mix fresh, rather than mixing the whole sachet at once.

Will it stain my sheets?

No. The gel is non-staining on most fabrics and rinses off skin with warm water. Always pair with a waterproof sheet or drop cloth for best protection.

Is the 40g glass container reusable?

Yes. The elegant glass container with natural bamboo lid is designed to be kept and reused once the powder is finished. This is the size we most often recommend as a gift.

Is Sakura good for sensitive skin?

Most people with normal or mildly sensitive skin tolerate Sakura well. If you have very reactive skin, the Platinum (no added botanicals) edition is the safer first choice. Patch test on your forearm before a full session.

Is Sakura vegan?

Yes. Sakura is Vege Project certified vegan.

Which size should I buy first?

Sakura is most popular as the 40g gift presentation or the 50g resealable sachet for everyday use. Professionals and high-frequency users choose the 500g bulk pouch for best value.

Slippery, Fun, and Definitely Spices Things Up

If you’re looking to add a little adventure to your evenings, this gel is the way to do it. Mix it up with hot water and suddenly you’ve got enough silky-smooth magic to turn an ordinary massage into a full-blown event. Let’s just say it takes “date night” from Netflix-and-chill to slip-and-slide in style.Now, the instructions say “the clumps will disappear with time.” Yeah… not really. Stirring feels more like I’m making pancake batter than a spa potion. The trick is to use hot water—once I did that, it blended much better and stayed smooth.Once ready, it’s unscented, colorless, and crazy slick. A little goes a long way, and honestly, it’s just plain fun. Definitely recommend if you want to spice things up, laugh a lot, and maybe burn a few extra calories in the process.

If you've never tried it, get some now!

This stuff is absolutely incredible. It takes just a tiny bit of experimentation and practice to get how best to mix it up, but once you understand, hot or cool, this stuff is great.It takes just a little bit and you can mix up as much as you'd like at a time, giving you a broad range of thicknesses depending on how much water or powder you choose to use.safe, water-soluble, easy to clean, stay slick forever, and has just the most mildest of sweet tastes to it.If you want it thicker and slimier, it does just as well and is slick in every way. Great value for the price, we'll definitely get my refills from here

Interesting product

I've never tried something like this before. It's interesting that you mix it yourself. Seems nice that you can make as much or as little as you need and adjust the consistency to your liking. It mixes fairly easily. It comes in a nice looking container but I'm not crazy about the fact it says "erotic gel" on the lid. I'd prefer it just said massage gel, or something so I don't have to feel weird about leaving it out where family members might see it.There isn't any noticeable smell. Considering how much product that it makes while mixed, it seems like a decent value.

Great Quality Gel.

This Japanese massage gel really surprised me in a good way. First off, the packaging is beautiful. It comes in a sturdy glass jar with a wooden lid that gives it a nice high-end look and feel. The instructions were super easy to follow, and mixing the gel was simple. At first, it clumped a little, but after letting it sit for a few minutes, it smoothed out just fine.The texture is a bit stringy when you apply it, but it actually feels really nice on the skin. What I loved most is how gentle it is. I used it on someone who usually has allergic reactions to most massage products, and they had zero irritation. They even said it was the best gel they’ve tried so far.Clean-up was easy, and it didn’t leave any sticky mess behind. The skin felt soft and moisturized afterward without being greasy or leaving a weird layer behind. It was unscented.

Nice packaging and love that you can make as needed

I tried this massage gel because I was a former massage therapist. I wanted to see how it compared to traditional creams or oils.I like that you can make just what you need eliminating waste from product going rancid.At first it wasn’t keen on the consistency. Honestly it felt kindof like snot… but it does have a nice slip to it.It also washes off thoroughly. I thought it felt a bit drying, but now that my hand has dried off it feels really soft. I think for clients they will need to be wiped off before they leave. Which with a damp hot towel could be a thoughtful addition to anyone’s service.Lastly, The packaging is really professional looking and I like the added touch of the wooden lid. It’s would be lovely to display.I think I’m going to share this with a massage friend. Hopefully she likes it too.

98% Natural, with Nori Seaweed, Aloe Vera, Green Tea, & Liquorice!

This 40g Massage Gel Powder from the EROTICGEL Store offers an interesting approach to providing massage gels. This came in a branded box and inside is a plastic wrapped sealed jar. When you unscrew the top, there’s a white lid that is just a cover. I made the mistake of thinking it was a seal and tipped the jar… out came a good amount of a sugar-like substance. When mixed with water, it does turn into gel. It’s a bit hard to measure the consistency of what you might want. But over time, you’ll get it. This product from Japan indicates it composed of 98% Natural, with Nori Seaweed, Aloe Vera, Green Tea, & Liquorice. It is unscented and clear. The particles clumped up, but will dissolve sooner or later. Printed material inside the box provides instructions. Works as expected.

Smooth and Effective

The powder dissolves clearly in water, creating a smooth, silky gel that is unsurprisingly non-sticky, colorless, and tasteless. Its natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, seaweed, and green tea gave my skin a refreshing feel post-massage, which I really appreciated. The gel spreads effortlessly and provides excellent lubrication, enhancing relaxation and comfort during massage sessions. Importantly, it is free from parabens and glycerine, which reassures me about its skin-friendliness.However, one point to note is that the powder takes some times to fully dissolve and set into a gel, which requires some patience and planning ahead. Also, it slightly stings if it accidentally contacts sensitive areas like the eyes. Though this was only a minor inconvenience and didn’t ruin the overall experience. Another plus is that the product is unscented, making it ideal for people sensitive to fragrances.

Great for baths and/or massages

The media could not be loaded.









I prefer this type of massage gel to thicken my bathwater - it's a nice experience that is more relaxing than a regular bath and you stay warm a little longer I always find (opinion, may or may not be fact).It's a bit of a small jar, but a little goes a long way when you are using it as intended. The gel is great for massages, it's also great if you have something large you'd like to put into something small (that has some stretch, but not a lot of stretch).It is compatible with most toys on the market, plus anything that is "waterproof" will usually work in this stuff as well. Especially if you have something large you'd like to put into something small...I'd recommend this, among the other massage gel powder options out there. It just depends on what scents or lack of scents you'd like in your massage gel/thickened bath water.

I Never Thought I Would Enjoy Mixing My Own Massage Gel

The idea of a massage gel that you make from powder was something completely new to me, so I was curious to see how well it would work. It turned out to be much easier than I'd expected. Just add warm water, give it a good mix, and it transforms into a smooth, slippery gel. I was also surprised by how little powder you actually need.

The gel itself performs well. It has a silky, slippery feel, that rinses away easily after use without leaving any greasy residue. It's also water based and fragrance free. Personally, I tend to enjoy a lightly scented massage gel, but I know plenty of people prefer products without added fragrance, so I think that will be a plus for many buyers.

The presentation deserves a mention too. The reusable glass jar with its bamboo lid feels much nicer than ordinary plastic packaging and gives the whole product a more premium feel.

My only niggle with this gel powder really is that you can get the odd clump unless you mix it thoroughly.

At £29.99, I think this is a quality product. One jar makes a surprisingly generous amount of gel, so although it isn't the cheapest option initially, it should last quite a long time. If you enjoy massage products and like the idea of mixing fresh gel whenever you need it, I think this is a practical alternative to buying ready-made bottles. I'm glad I gave it a try because it's opened my eyes to the idea of mixing my own massage gel.

Unique Concept with Impressive Yield, but Not for Everyone

This Japanese Massage Gel Powder (Sakura Edition) is definitely something a bit different. The idea of turning powder into a large amount of usable gel is impressive—one pack goes a long way, making up to 50 litres, which offers excellent value over time.
The formula includes ingredients like aloe vera, seaweed, liquorice, and green tea, which gives it a more premium, skin-friendly feel. As described, it’s odourless and tasteless, which may suit those who prefer a neutral product without added fragrance.
In use, the gel has a smooth consistency and works well for massage purposes. It doesn’t leave stains and is easy to clean up, which is a big plus. The resealable sachet also helps with storage and convenience.
That said, the whole concept may not appeal to everyone, and preparing the gel from powder can feel a bit less convenient compared to ready-made options.
Overall, a high-yield, well-formulated product that delivers on its claims—best suited for those who are happy to mix their own and want a long-lasting supply.

Silky Authentic Texture with Infinite Versatility

I mixed a small batch of this Japanese Nuru Massage Gel Powder this afternoon, and it works well—the consistency is remarkably slick and long-lasting, providing that signature "skin-on-skin" glide that outperforms any pre-mixed liquid lubricant I've tried. The formulation with Natural Aloe Vera, Seaweed, Licorice, and Green Tea feels incredibly nourishing on the skin, while the fact that it is Paraben and Glycerine free makes it exceptionally gentle for sensitive areas, confirming a solid build quality in this authentic Made in Japan product. I found that a tiny amount goes a long way, and being able to make up to 1.32 gal / 5L from just 40g of powder makes it fantastic good value for anyone who wants a customizable, vegan massage experience. I highly recommend it if you want a pure, unscented, and non-staining gel that is as easy to clean off as it is to prepare.

Smooth and easy to mix

This massage gel powder is really impressive. It mixes easily with water and turns into a smooth, slippery gel that feels great on the skin. I like that you can control the thickness depending on how much water you add, which makes it suitable even for my sensitive skin.

It works very well for full-body massages, helping to relax muscles and reduce stress. After using it, my skin feels soft, hydrated, and refreshed. The formula is odorless, tasteless, and doesn’t stain, which makes it very convenient to use.

The large 500g pack lasts a long time since a small amount goes a long way, just one teaspoon makes a good amount of gel.

The resealable packaging is also very practical. It keeps the powder fresh and safe from moisture, and it closes securely to prevent spills. This makes storage simple and convenient, especially for a large pack.

Overall, it’s a high-quality, versatile product that’s great for both relaxation and skincare. Highly recommend.

Pros and Cons
Not Very Impressed

Review based on current price £63.64 (voucher price)

Executive Summary:
After a long and exhaustive day and needing some us time, we decided to crack this open. A small amount mixed quickly into a clear, slippery gel that’s completely odourless and easy to work with. It spreads well without the greasy feel of oils and initially feels quite soothing. However, the experience isn’t all positive, despite the “natural” impression. It does get everywhere and at the end skin was left noticeably dry afterwards. So you need to moisturise. Novelty more than useful.

✅ Pros
• Very easy to mix – forms gel quickly with minimal effort
• A little goes a long way (excellent yield)
• Completely odourless – good if you don’t want lingering scents
• Non-greasy feel and glides well on skin
• Doesn’t stain fabrics in use
• Resealable pouch actually works properly

⚠️ Cons
• Not as natural as expected (contains sodium polyacrylate)
• Can leave skin feeling dry after use
• High price point for what it is
• Gel can be messy to clean up due to water-retaining properties
• More of a novelty than an essential product

Bottom line:
An interesting product that’s fun to try and goes a long way, but the surprise ingredient and drying effect take the shine off—especially at this price point.

Very good massage gel

This Japanese Nuru Massage Gel Powder 40g is good quality. I like that this massage gel powder is made from natural ingredients with no hidden nasties. The tub is a lovely design. A little powder does go a long way. Though depending on the type of massage you are doing will depend on how much you need to use. I first mixed up the recommended 5g of powder with 500ml of warm water. The powder mixed and dissolved well, no issues with clumping and at roughly 10 minutes the gel has formed as advertised. I had no intentions on doing an Nuru massage when testing, but if you were going to, it definitely made enough. The gel is a good consistency and certainly is slippery on the skin. It massages well and when drying doesn't leave any residue. I also had no issues with staining on the towels. I like that it is odourless. Overall a very good product and at the time of review, the reduced price is good value.

Huge Amount of Gel

This is a colossal amount of nuru gel. There are a few important things to go over just to set the stage, since this product seems to confuse a lot of people:

This is for an 'adult couples massage'. It has a very specific application. Don't look it up on a work computer.
This is not moisturising like a massage oil, in fact quite the reverse – don't leave it on your skin.
Despite the natural ingredients shown and listed in some variations, this is almost entirely made from sodium polyacrylate. I had to look this up. Apparently it's 'technically not a plastic' but is in fact a superabsorbant polymer. Not being a chemist I really don't know the difference, but it's plastic-like synthetic stuff. This is not a natural gel and is not predominantly made from natural ingredients.

So with that in mind, this is a decent product. It does not take a lot of powder to make a lot of gel. This will do you something like 50l. That is a huge amount and really throws the cost into perspective. Depending on how much you need, it will last you for an astonishing number of uses, making each use very cost effective.

It comes in a pouch with a seal at the top, but it is very absorbent so I'm not 100% certain that it will actually last for the full pack – that's one downside of having so much, you have to get through it quickly.

But overall, considering the vast amount you get, I think it's great value for money, and I'm happy to recommend it.

Very Slippery Gel That Does Exactly What It’s Designed For

I bought this for myself because I was curious about trying a different type of massage product, particularly one that’s designed to create a very smooth, almost frictionless feel. This type of gel is quite different from standard massage oils or creams.

The main feature here is how it transforms when mixed with water. The powder turns into a clear gel that becomes extremely slippery, much more so than typical massage products. This is because gels of this type are usually formulated using seaweed derived compounds or similar ingredients that create a very slick, water based texture.

In use, the texture is the standout aspect. It allows for very smooth movement across the skin without needing constant reapplication, which makes it quite different from oils that tend to absorb over time. It also washes off easily with water, which is a practical advantage compared with oil based products that can leave residue behind.

The addition of ingredients like aloe vera and plant extracts is intended to make it more skin friendly, and it does feel gentle overall without causing irritation in normal use. The gel itself is odourless or only lightly scented, which helps keep it neutral rather than overwhelming.

That said, the texture may not be for everyone. It is much more slippery than people might expect, and can feel unusual if you are used to traditional massage oils. It can also get messy if used without some preparation, as the gel spreads easily.

Another small consideration is getting the consistency right when mixing. Too much or too little water can change how it feels, so it may take a couple of attempts to find the ideal balance.

Overall, this is a very specific type of product that works well if you are looking for a highly slippery, water based massage gel. It is best suited for those who want something different from standard oils and don’t mind the unique texture and slightly messy nature that comes with it.

A little goes a surprisingly long way

This is the first time I have tried a massage gel powder. All the ingredients are natural and pure. Having read the instructions and getting a large jug from the kitchen, I was dubious whether a tiny teaspoon of powder would form anything in half a litre of warm water.

After stirring for a while and letting the mixture cool the consistency was a thin runny gel. Considering ingredients such as liquorice and seaweed I was expecting some sort of fragrance but there was none at all.

Popping my hand in and scooping out of the jug, this was enough to cover both arms, neck and shoulders. The gel dried very quickly without any sticky residue at all. Next day the remainder of the jug was still quite runny, however the teaspoon with some residue seemed to have stuck like glue to the saucer I left it in overnight.

The jury is out on whether I prepared this correctly but given how far it goes there will be plenty more opportunities to test in the future.

Easy to make and very soothing

It was easy to prepare, and after about 15 minutes it turned into a nice, thick consistency by simply following the instructions. The smell is neutral, and it hasn't irritated my sensitive skin at all. It feels soothing and hydrating and creates a calm, relaxing experience. There is enough powder to make several sessions worth of gel, so I wouldn't suggest mixing it all at once. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it.
