How does a massage candle work? A massage candle is made from a soy base and oils that melt at a low temperature. You light it like any candle and let a pool of liquid form around the wick. That liquid is the massage oil. With this Shunga candle the maker says the melted oil is lukewarm to the touch, so it can be poured into the hand and spread on the skin. Until you blow it out, it also works as an ordinary scented candle.
Mini Massage Candle in Romance, Sparkling Strawberry Wine
This is the 1 fl oz travel size of Shunga's massage candle in the Romance scent, Sparkling Strawberry Wine. It is soy based and made with 100% natural oils. Lit, it serves as an ambiance candle. As the wax melts it turns into a lukewarm oil that you can use for an intimate massage.
The maker says the oil leaves skin soft and silky and will not clog pores, and gives a burn time of up to 7 hours. The small size is meant for weekends away. It is one of several scents in the range.
Best for: For couples who want candlelight and massage oil from one small item, and for anyone packing for a romantic trip. Romance is the pick if you like a sweet strawberry and wine style scent. It also makes a small gift.
