It can be, but it's not the best thing for massage. I use straight aloe vera gel as an after shave conditioner. The really good stuff actually does sting a little bit after shaving. But there are some near-liquid gels of aloe vera that are made for such stuff, like sunburn, which then don't sting my face (I'm sooo sensitive, you know).
The problem with aloe vera is that it dries up quite easily. Now, a cream that you mention might be different, with enough emollients to keep the cream soft and longer lasting as you rub it on.
But I think there are better choices for massage creams to help with moisturizine the skin--and your hands--so that the massage is a more pleasant experience. I don't really know of any, but I'm sure that a good health food store would have some great examples available.
