How It Melts And Performs
Designed to melt smoothly into a warm oil that reaches a comfortable skin temperature between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius, this candle offers a soothing touch without overheating. The burn time varies by size, ensuring multiple massage sessions and a lasting aromatic presence.
The 100g jar suits intimate moments or targeted massage areas, burning for approximately 15 to 20 hours. The 315g option provides a generous melt pool for extended treatments with a 35 to 45-hour burn time, while the 550g size supports full body rituals and professional use, offering up to 65 hours of indulgence.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow the surface to liquefy into a warm pool of fragrant oil. Once melted, carefully extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds to ensure the oil is at a safe temperature. Pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin, then massage using slow, deliberate movements to fully enjoy the nourishing texture and scent.
For best results, trim the wick to approximately 5 millimeters before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time. This maintains optimal performance and safety throughout your massage ritual.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle is perfect for those who appreciate refined fragrances with a seductive edge. It suits individuals and couples seeking intimate, luxurious moments at home, as well as therapists who desire a premium, skin-safe oil to enhance their spa treatments.
Best Moments To Use It
Ideal for at-home spa evenings, romantic nights, or unwinding after a long day, this candle also elevates professional massage sessions with its calming aroma. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who treasures indulgent self-care.
