Massage candles are unique in that the soy wax melts at a low temperature and can be poured directly onto skin and used as a massage oil. When making massage candles, use a high quality soy wax that is dermatology tested, like EcoSoya Q210. If you want to add a fragrance or essential oil, make sure to use one that is safe on skin! With the romantic glow of the candle and the gentle warmth of the melted oils on the skin, this will sure to be a massage you will never forget!

Tips for making your massage candles:
• Substitute the Grapeseed oil for a different skin care oil, or a combination of oils. Try Sweet Almond oil, Evening Primrose oil, Avocado oil or Fractionated Coconut oil.
• Add a small amount of natural butter for more skin softening qualities. Try Shea Nut butter, Cocoa butter or Mango butter.
