|---|---|
| Ingredients | Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Glycine Soja Oil, Flavor, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima Oil, Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil |
This is a great option if you are on a budget or just want to try a massage candle. It is pretty small so will only last a couple of sessions, though. It contains a good mix of oils that are great for your skin but they are quite thick so don’t spread far. Some users have found that the candle burns unevenly. It’s important to let it melt evenly all the way across on the first burn but you can always heat it slightly by placing the candle in a bowl of hot water until the wax melts and then let it set again.

| Ingredients | Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Aroma (Flavor), Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Tocopherol. |
These candles are great for exploring erotic massage and it’s great that there’s a range of scents to choose from. While it’s nice that they are edible, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally getting some in your mouth, they aren’t the most tasty, as you might expect from a candle! I’m also not a huge fan of the design, especially the images on the tin.

This little set comes in a cute little gift bag and would make a lovely present. It’s also nice to have three different scents to choose from. They have a great list of nourishing ingredients and I like that they are fragranced with phthalate-free essential oils. The only downside is that they are pretty small. Also just because something is edible, it doesn’t mean it will taste good!

- Oil is a little thick when melted
- Doesn't contain a lot of skin nourishing oils

| Apothecary Arouse Candle | |

| Vibration modes | Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Parfum (Fragrance) |
I love the jug design of this candle — it makes it much easier to pour the oil in smooth stream and lowers the risk of burning your fingers! It has a lovely blend of scents but the smell can be a little strong so not the best if you are sensitive to smell. When melted, the candle’s massage oil is a little thick and doesn’t absorb as well as others, which is probably down to the fact that it only contains soybean oil and no others. This also means that it’s not the most skin nourishing option.
Ready for the Next Step in Wax Play?
Massage candles have a low melting point, meaning they feel sensually warm on the skin but they don’t give that sharp sting of heat some people are looking for! Paraffin wax candles have a higher, but still safe, melting point. Here are some great options if you are looking for a more intense heat for thrilling wax play.

How to use massage candles
Massage candles make for an incredibly sexy and sensual massage either as the main event or as foreplay. They don’t get as hot as regular candles but it’s still important to be careful when using them. Here are some simple instructions for a safe and sexy massage sesh! If you want more in-depth instructions, we got a whole post on how to give an amazing sexy massage!
Prepare your space
Use a towel or blanket you don’t mind getting oil on to protect whichever surface you are using. Heat the space so you won’t get cold during the massage.
Melt the candle
You will need to light the candle and leave it for 15-20 minutes to melt. You want to make sure the oil has melted evenly across the surface and created a good pool of wax.
Blow out the flame
It’s important to blow out the flame before you pour the oil so you don’t burn your hands. This will also prevent burn marks on your candle.
Drizzle onto your partner's body
Drizzle the oil onto your partner’s body and massage it in. You can start with the back then move onto the butt and legs before moving onto the front of their body. Avoid pouring the wax onto the head, face or genitals.
Switch to lube
If you plan on giving your partner a happy ending, be sure to wipe the oil off your hands and switch to lube, especially if you are massaging a vulva owner.
How to clean up a massage candle
Allow your massage candle to cool completely and let the remaining oil harden. You can then use a damp cloth to wipe any oil from the outside of the container.
FAQ
What is a massage candle
Massage candles are made from wax with a low melting point. When you leave the candle to burn the wax melts into a pool of warm oil that can be dripped or drizzled onto your skin. The warm oil together with the soothing scents takes a relaxing, sensual massage to the next level! Many are also full of hydrating oils that will leave your skin feeling soft and supple.
