Can you really pour a burning candle onto skin? Not an ordinary one. Regular candle wax melts hot and hardens on the skin. A massage candle like this Shunga mini is soy based and made with natural oils, so it melts into a liquid oil instead of hard wax. The maker says that oil is lukewarm to the touch. You put the flame out first, pour a small amount into your hand, check the warmth, and then use it like any massage oil.
Mini Massage Candle in Aphrodisia, Rose Petals
The Aphrodisia mini candle from Shunga carries a Rose Petals scent in a 1 fl oz travel size. It has two jobs. While lit, it is an ambiance candle that scents the room. Once the soy base melts, the liquid becomes a lukewarm oil for intimate massage. It is made with 100% natural oils. According to the maker, the oil leaves skin feeling soft and silky and does not clog pores. The candle burns for up to 7 hours.
Best for: For anyone who loves a classic floral scent and wants a compact gift or a getaway extra. It suits couples who like to start an evening with candlelight and move on to a slow massage.

How to use
Set the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface and light it. Give it time to form a pool of oil around the wick. Extinguish the flame, then tip a little of the oil into your hand. Check that the temperature is comfortable and massage it into the skin. Let the candle set again before moving it.
Care
- Keep the burning candle in sight and away from anything flammable.
- Put the flame out before you pour.
- Check the oil temperature on your own hand first.
- Use on the skin for massage only, not as a lubricant.
- Store it flat with the oil fully set.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same candle as the other Shunga minis?
The format is the same: a 1 fl oz soy based candle that burns up to 7 hours and melts into massage oil. Aphrodisia is the Rose Petals fragrance. The other minis differ only in scent.
Does it leave skin greasy?
The maker says the oil leaves skin soft and silky and will not clog pores. Use a small amount at a time and work it in, adding more only where the skin still needs glide.
Is 1 fl oz enough for a full massage?
It is a travel size, so think of it as a few massages for backs and shoulders instead of one long full-body session. The burn time of up to 7 hours gives plenty of use as a room candle too.
