How It Melts And Performs
When lit, the candle gently melts into a silky oil that warms to a soothing 38 to 42 degrees Celsius, just right for comfortable skin contact. Available in three sizes, each offers a generous burn time to support multiple massage sessions or extended spa experiences. The melt pool provides a nourishing touch while releasing a delicate, enveloping fragrance that enhances your environment.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow the surface to melt into a warm pool of oil. Once the wax has liquefied, extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds to ensure a safe temperature. Pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin and massage with slow, even movements, reapplying as desired. 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.
