How do you use a candle as massage oil? A massage candle is made from oils that melt at a low temperature, so the liquid can go on skin. With this Shunga candle, the steps come from the maker: light it and let it burn for about 20 minutes, put out the flame, then pour a small quantity into the palm of your hand. From there you apply it over the body like any massage oil. While it burns, it works as an ordinary scented candle.
Shunga Massage Candle in Island Blossoms
This Shunga candle is soy based and has two uses. Lit, it is an ambiance candle with the Island Blossoms scent. Melted, it becomes an intimate massage oil that you pour into your hand and apply over the body. It comes in the 5.7 oz size. It gives warm oil instead of cold oil from a bottle.
The maker lists it as vegan, paraben free and gluten free, made with natural oils, and says it will not clog pores. The floral fragrance fills the room while the candle burns, and a light trace of it stays on the skin after the massage.
Best for: For couples who like a floral scent and want one product for both candlelight and massage. It is a good pick for a planned evening in, and for anyone who finds bottled oil cold on the skin.
