What to look out for when buying a massage candle

Do's:

  • Use skin-safe ingredients: opt for natural waxes like soy or beeswax, and incorporate nourishing oils such as shea butter, coconut or jojoba oil.
  • Choose appropriate pure essential oils: select essential oils known for their skin benefits and ensure they are suitable for topical application.
  • Test the temperature: before applying the melted wax to the skin, check that it’s warm but not too hot to prevent burns.

Don'ts:

  • Avoid non-skin-safe fragrance oils: refrain from using fragrance oils that aren’t specifically formulated for skin contact, as they may cause irritation.

  • Skip allergens: avoid ingredients that are common allergens or irritants to ensure the massage candle is safe for all users.
