How It Melts And Performs
Designed to melt into a nourishing oil that gently warms to between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius, this candle provides a soothing and comfortable temperature for the skin. Whether you choose the 100g, 315g, or 550g size, each offers a generous burn time suited for multiple massage sessions or extended spa experiences.
The 95g size features a single wick with approximately 15 to 20 hours of burn time, ideal for personal use. The 315g option has two wicks, delivering 35 to 45 hours of indulgent warmth, while the 550g size boasts three wicks and up to 65 hours, perfect for professional treatments or luxurious home rituals.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow the surface to melt into a warm pool of oil. Once a sufficient melt pool has formed, carefully extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds to ensure the oil is at a comfortable temperature. Pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin, then massage using slow, even movements to fully enjoy its nourishing properties.
For best results, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time. Always monitor the candle while lit and never leave it unattended.

This massage candle is perfect for those who appreciate refined scents with a subtle complexity. It suits individuals or couples seeking a calming yet invigorating aroma, as well as professional therapists who want to offer clients a premium, skin-friendly massage experience with a sophisticated fragrance.

All fragrance levels comply with cosmetic standards to ensure safety and comfort during skin contact.
