How It Melts And Performs
When lit, the candle melts into a warm oil that reaches a soothing temperature between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius, safe and comfortable for skin contact. Available in three sizes, it offers burn times ranging from 15 to 65 hours, making it ideal for multiple massage sessions or extended spa experiences. The melt pool provides a gentle fragrance that enhances relaxation without overpowering.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow a pool of warm oil to form on the surface. Once melted, 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 with slow, even strokes to soothe muscles and hydrate skin. Remember to trim the wick to around 5 mm before each use and avoid burning the candle for more than three hours at a time.
Who Will Love It

It suits anyone seeking to elevate their self-care routine, couples looking for a sensual massage experience, or professional therapists who want to offer clients a premium, skin-safe indulgence.

Enhance your evenings with an at-home spa ritual, set the mood for a romantic night in, unwind after a long day with post-bath relaxation, or bring a touch of luxury to professional massage treatments. It also makes a thoughtful gift for those who value refined fragrance and wellness.
