How It Melts And Performs
Designed to melt into a warm, nourishing oil, this candle reaches a comfortable skin temperature between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. The soothing warmth enhances massage experiences without overheating the skin. Available in three sizes, each offers a generous burn time to support multiple sessions. The 100g size provides approximately 15 to 20 hours of burn time, ideal for intimate moments. The 315g and 550g sizes extend the experience with 35 to 45 and 50 to 65 hours respectively, perfect for longer spa treatments or professional use.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow the surface to melt into a warm pool of oil. Once a generous melt pool forms, extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds to ensure a safe temperature. Carefully pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin. Use slow, even movements to massage and relax the muscles. Remember to trim the wick to about 5 millimeters before each use and never burn the candle for longer than three hours at a time to preserve its quality and safety.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle is ideal for anyone who cherishes rich, seductive aromas and the calming ritual of touch. It suits individuals and couples who appreciate a touch of luxury in their self-care, as well as professional therapists seeking a refined, skin-safe product that enhances the massage experience with evocative fragrance notes.
Best Moments To Use It
