The practice of candle massage is becoming more and more popular thanks to its beneficial side. From the physical and psychological benefits to its characteristics of well-being and lightness, we will explain its recipe, its creation and how to use it in order to guarantee you the most tender experience!
Massage candle concept
Candle massage is a massage technique that has tended to modernize in recent years to thedetriment of molded candles, for example...
It presents characteristics of well-being, softness and lightness . It presents an approach of physical and psychological calming for the recipient. Indeed, the massage candle contains pure oils which nourish and soften your skin by providing more elasticity to the epidermis (just that!) .
Choice of wax: opt for soy wax!
The main raw material of the massage candle is soy wax which has a low melting point ( 50°C ) but which also allows dermatological use. Adding oil and/or butter will lower the melting point by a few more degrees .
We advise you to use soy wax for candles in a container (C3). It is 100% soy. Thus, we recommend the use of coconut oil which will give a slippery side to the wax and shea butter which will nourish your skin for a cocooning moment.

Recommendations
You can change the perfumed oil, however check the dosage recommended in category 5A in the cosmetic certificate (available in "downloads" on each sheet of our perfumes) for a skin application without rinsing.
Like any product for skin use, we invite you to carry out a test beforehand in the crease of the elbow , in order to check that you do not have allergic reactions to any of the components of your candle. It would be stupid if all his efforts turned into a nightmare!
