A massage candle is completely different to a normal candle. Unlike normal soy candles, a massage candle is made from nourishing butters and oils. This means, once melted, it turns into an oil to then pour onto the skin for a sensual erotic massage. Here at Hanson Candle Co, we use Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, 100% Natural Soy Wax and Vitamin E oil, which means after the massage, your skin will be hydrated and moisturised. Even after a shower or wipe down.

No, we don't recommend using them the same as normal candles to maximise the uses for massage. A regular candle will usually be made up of one type of wax eg, Soy wax. If you tried to pour a normal candle on your skin, it would burn you as well as harden. A massage candle will melt into an oil which then soaks into your skin and seconds as a moisturiser.

Using a massage candle is simple and adds a new level of intimacy to your romantic moments. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a massage candle:

1. Set the Mood: Create a relaxing and romantic ambiance by dimming the lights and choosing a comfortable, quiet space.
2. Light the Candle: Begin by lighting the wick of the massage candle. Allow it to burn for about 10-30 minutes or until a pool of liquid oil forms on the surface.
3. Extinguish the Flame: Blow out the candle and let it cool for a minute or two. The melted oil should be warm, not hot, and safe for skin contact. Discontinue use if irritation occurs
4. Pour and Massage: Gently pour the melted oil onto your partner's body or your own, depending on your preferences. The warm oil provides a soothing and sensual sensation when massaged into the skin.
5. Enjoy the Massage: Use your hands or massage tools to explore different techniques and areas of the body. The scents from the candle can enhance relaxation and sensuality.
6. Repeat as Desired: You can re-light the candle and continue the massage as many times as you like. The candle will solidify when not in use, making it convenient for multiple sessions.

Yes, massage candles are safe to use due to the ingredients that they're made from. Our Sensual Massage Candles are made from low melt point natural butters and oils which when melted is warm to the skin and not hot. Depending how long the candle has been burning for (If over 30min) always test the temperature of the oil first, before pouring directly onto the body for a massage. Massage Candles also include essential oils or body safe premium fragrances that are added at a much lower percentage.
