How It Melts And Performs
As the candle burns, it gently melts into a warm oil that reaches a soothing temperature between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius on the skin. This ensures a comfortable, nurturing massage without overheating. Available in 100g, 315g, and 550g sizes, the candle offers burn times ranging from 15 up to 65 hours, providing multiple indulgent sessions and a lingering, delicate fragrance throughout.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow the surface to melt into a pool of warm oil. Once a generous melt pool forms, carefully extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds for the temperature to settle. Pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin and massage with slow, even strokes. Remember to trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time for best results.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle is ideal for those who cherish calm, intimate moments of self-care or professional therapists seeking a premium yet accessible product. Its warm, inviting scent and nourishing oil base appeal to anyone who values a comforting, elegant touch in their massage or spa rituals.
Best Moments To Use It
Perfect for at-home spa evenings, romantic nights in, post-bath relaxation, or professional massage treatments. It also makes a thoughtful, luxurious gift for loved ones who appreciate refined fragrance and mindful wellness.

Ingredients
The candle’s base is crafted from natural soft soy wax blended with nourishing shea butter and cosmetic-grade plant oils such as fractionated coconut or sweet almond oil. Beeswax is added for stability, while the fragrance features skin-safe, IFRA-compliant essential or fragrance oils. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its cosmetic quality and suitability for direct skin contact.
Caution
For external use only. Do not ingest or apply to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with eyes and rinse immediately if contact occurs. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended or burn near flammable materials. Do not move the candle while the wax is hot to prevent spills or burns.
Storage
Store the candle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the lid closed when not in use to protect the wax and preserve the fragrance, especially important in South African climates where temperatures can fluctuate.
