How It Melts And Performs
Light the candle to release a warm pool of nourishing oil that melts gently at skin-safe temperatures between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. This comforting warmth enhances the massage experience without overheating, allowing the fragrance to envelop the senses.
Available in three sizes, the burn time varies to suit your needs: the 100g offers around 15 to 20 hours, the 315g provides 35 to 45 hours, and the 550g delivers an extended 50 to 65 hours of indulgence. Each size supports multiple massage sessions and a richly layered aromatic atmosphere.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow a smooth, warm pool of oil to form on the surface. Once melted, extinguish the flame and wait a moment for the oil to reach a comfortable temperature. Pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin, then massage slowly and evenly, reapplying as needed to sustain the soothing glide.
For best results, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before each use and avoid burning for longer than three hours at a time. Always monitor the candle while lit and never leave it unattended.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle is perfect for men who appreciate bold, sophisticated scents and anyone seeking a refined, sensual addition to their self-care or professional treatment routine. Couples and spa clients will find its warm, inviting aroma ideal for creating memorable, intimate moments.
Best Moments To Use It
Enhance your at-home spa evenings, romantic nights, or post-bath relaxation sessions with this deeply comforting candle. It also makes a thoughtful gift for those who value premium quality and a touch of luxury in their daily rituals or professional therapies.

Ingredients
The base combines natural soft soy wax 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 is composed of skin-safe, IFRA-compliant materials designed for cosmetic use only. This ensures a gentle, soothing oil that is both luxurious and safe for direct skin contact.
Caution
For external use only. Do not ingest or apply to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended and avoid burning near flammable surfaces. 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 the varying climates of South Africa.
