How It Melts And Performs
When lit, the candle slowly melts into a warm oil that reaches a soothing skin temperature between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. This gentle warmth comforts the body without overheating, making each massage session deeply relaxing.
Available in three sizes, the burn time varies to suit your needs: the 100g offers about 15 to 20 hours, the 315g around 35 to 45 hours, and the 550g up to 65 hours. Each size promises multiple indulgent sessions with an enveloping fragrance that softly perfumes your surroundings.
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 for the temperature to settle.
Carefully pour the warm oil into your hands or directly onto the skin. Massage with slow, even strokes, reapplying as desired throughout your session. Remember to trim the wick to around 5 mm before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle is perfect for those who appreciate a refined, unisex fragrance that balances warmth and spice with soothing comfort. Ideal for couples seeking shared relaxation, spa professionals looking for a premium oil alternative, and anyone who values mindful self-care moments.
Best Moments To Use It
Light this candle during a quiet evening at home, a romantic night in, or after a warm bath to extend your relaxation. It also enhances professional massage treatments and makes a thoughtful gift for those who cherish sensory luxury.
