How It Melts And Performs

As the candle burns, it melts into a luxurious oil that warms to a comfortable 38 to 42 degrees Celsius, ideal for soothing massage and skin nourishment. Depending on the size you choose, the burn time varies to suit different needs—from personal rituals to professional spa treatments.

The 100g jar offers around 15 to 20 hours of burn time, perfect for smaller sessions. The 315g and 550g sizes extend your experience with 35 to 45 and 50 to 65 hours respectively, creating generous pools of warm oil for extended indulgence.

How To Use For Massage

Light the candle and allow the surface to melt into a pool of warm oil. Once melted, extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds to ensure a safe temperature. Pour the oil carefully into your hands or directly onto the skin, then massage with slow, even strokes. Reapply as needed to maintain warmth and hydration.

For best results, trim the wick to about 5mm before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time to preserve fragrance integrity and safety.

Who Will Love It

This massage candle is perfect for those who appreciate rich, complex scents with a touch of mystery. It suits individuals or couples seeking a sensuous, warming experience, as well as professional therapists wanting a premium, skin-safe product to elevate their treatments.
