Nuru gel is water-based and made from natural seaweed extracts traditionally derived from Nori seaweed. This combination creates its signature ultra-slippery texture. Depending on the manufacturer, additional plant extracts such as aloe vera, green tea, chamomile, or licorice may be added to enhance glide and hydration. The gel is transparent, odorless, tasteless, skin-friendly, and easily rinses off after the massage.
