What can a massage candle do that massage oil cannot? It does two jobs. While it burns it works as an ambiance candle, giving light and scent. As it melts, the liquid becomes massage oil that is already warm when it reaches the skin. Shunga's candle is soy based and made with 100% natural oils, and the maker says the oil it produces is lukewarm to the touch. The mini version is a travel size, so it packs easily for a weekend away.
Shunga Mini Massage Candle for weekends away
The Shunga Mini Massage Candle is a small soy-based candle in the Exotic Green Tea scent. Light it and it works as an ambiance candle. Let it melt and the liquid becomes an intimate massage oil. The maker says it is made with 100% natural oils, gives a lukewarm oil, leaves skin soft and silky, and will not clog pores.
This is the travel size, made for romantic getaways. It burns for up to 7 hours. The small format slips into an overnight bag, and because you only melt a little at a time, one candle covers several evenings away.
Best for: For couples who want a massage candle to take on a trip, and for anyone who wants to try Shunga's candles before buying the full-size tin. It also makes a small gift. Its small size keeps the commitment low.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the mini candle last?
The maker gives a burn time of up to 7 hours. Since you only burn it long enough to melt some oil each time, that covers several massages. Let it set between uses.
How big is it?
The facts describe it as a convenient travel size but do not give its weight in ounces. Shunga's full-size massage candles sold here are 5.7 oz, so expect this one to be noticeably smaller.
Is the melted oil hot?
Shunga says the candle produces a lukewarm oil at the touch. Always blow out the flame first and test a drop on your own wrist before pouring it onto someone else.
