Product Overview

Some scents feel like fresh air

This is not just a candle. It’s a slow, warming ritual that begins with light and ends with softened skin.

When lit, the candle releases the familiar herbal-floral aroma of lavender and rosemary—clean, calming, and quietly refreshing. As the wax melts, it transforms into a pool of warm, silky oil that can be poured directly onto the skin and massaged in as a deeply comforting body balm or massage oil.

The texture is rich without feeling heavy, gliding easily and leaving skin supple, smooth, and softly conditioned.

The Aroma Experience

Juniper brings a fresh, forest-like clarity—cool and grounding at the same time. Peppermint follows with its bright, airy lift, cutting through mental fog and heaviness. Eucalyptus adds a clean, open feeling, while rosemary and tea tree round out the blend with soft herbal depth.

Together they create a scent that feels awakening but not sharp—cool, clean, and steady, like breathing deeply after being indoors too long.

Because this candle is designed for skin application, the essential oils are used at a skin-safe concentration. The aroma is intentionally soft and close—not meant to fill the room like a traditional candle, but to linger gently on warm skin and in the air nearby.

How It Feels

Once warmed, the blend melts into a silky, slow-moving oil that spreads easily across the skin. Virgin shea and cocoa butters give the melt a creamy, cushioned richness, while sunflower and avocado oils add a light, fluid slip that keeps the oil gliding smoothly. The soy wax helps the warmth linger at a gentle, comforting temperature.

As the melted oil touches the skin, it feels warm and deeply comforting. As it slowly absorbs, it leaves behind a velvety softness and skin that feels smooth, conditioned, and deeply moisturized.

Many people enjoy this blend most after long days, travel, or physical activity—when the body feels tired, and the mind feels overworked, and both could use a quiet moment to reset.

It’s especially nice for:

hands, elbows, and feet
dry patches
evening self-massage
shared massage moments
manicures and pedicures

A simple ritual of light, warmth, and renewal.

How To Use

To ensure an even burn and long-lasting candle, make sure to trim your wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. Burn on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface.

Warm Body Lotion Candle

Light the Candle:

To use the massage oil candle, light it and allow it to burn for 10 – 15 minutes or until the top level of warm oil pool evenly and there is still solid candle oil underneath.
During this time the scent of the essential oils will begin to fill the air.

Blow out the Flame*

(I know the picture does not show that--but it looks prettier!) Yes, always extinguish candle before attempting to use the oil.

Apply the Oil

For small areas, dip finger into pooled oil and massage into sore muscles and joints.
For congestion, place a dab under your nose or use for sinus massage
For larger areas, pour the warm oil directly into your hand or on the body and immediately massage into sore muscles and joints.
Your skin will feel soft and smooth within minutes.
The candle melts at just above body temperature.
The oils should feel warm, but not hot. If you are concerned about the temperature, pour a small bit onto the back of your hand to test.

The leftover candle will solidify to use another day. Keep wick trimmed to about ¼ inch. Be sure to replace the lid after use to keep candle clean.

Tip: Light before you get in the shower or bath and then massage the warm oils into your warm damp skin for some intense moisturizing (especially nice for winter dryness).

*To extinguish your candle, gently blow out the flame. Never attempt to extinguish a candle using water.

The leftover candle will solidify to use another day.
Keep wick trimmed to about ¼ inch.
Be sure to replace the lid after use to keep candle clean.

Massage candles can also be used as part of a warm manicure or pedicure treatment at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Use A Natural Organic Body Cream?

Why use a natural organic body cream . . .

It is Natural

Natural Organic Whipped Cocoa Butter Body Butter Well, first of all, it's an all-natural product. Commercial lotions are NOT. Our Body Balms and Whipped Shea Butters only contain the ingredients that they need to moisturize your skin.

Creams and lotions formulated with synthetic ingredients often aggravate sensitive skin, exacerbate irritated skin conditions, and trigger allergic dermatitis.

The organic oils and butters we use do NOT contain petroleum based chemicals (Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Paraffin), chemical emulsifiers (DEA, MEA, TEA), chemical preservatives (Parabens, Urea), Propylene Glycol, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances.

No Preservatives

Have you ever noticed that when you use your body lotion your skin never stays moist and you find yourself going back to the lotion bottle over and over?

Look at the ingredients. The main ingredient in lotion is water! Once water is added to make a lotion, preservatives are needed to prevent mold and bacteria growth.

No Alcohol or Petroleum Ingredients

Commercial lotions often contain isopropyl alcohol and/or mineral oil. Both of these actually are very drying to your skin. The alcohol gives a temporary sense of coolness due to evaporation.

Mineral oil is a clear, liquid oil with no scent and will not spoil. It is very inexpensive because it is the liquid by-product of the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other petroleum-based products from crude oil. It is found in lotions, soaps, baby oil, cosmetics, and motor oil. Mineral oil

It is great for oiling your wooden cutting boards--but not your skin. Mineral oil does not penetrate to soften. It is difficult to absorb, coats your skin and clogs the pores. If you would like to have healthy skin, stay away from mineral oils, animal fat, petroleum, and synthetic oil based skincare.

It Has So Many Uses

We know that natural body butters make great moisturizing body creams. But here are some other ways we have used these balms and butters:

Get rid of those cracked heels
Gently massage into very dry areas on your face
Soothe and smooth skin after shaving
Add a dollop to your hot bath water instead of using synthetic bath oils
Massage some into your cuticles to soften them
Massage into your lips for a great all natural lip balm

HINT: If you enjoy the application "feeling" of a lotion better than a cream, try massaging our rich Whipped Butters into warm, wet skin after a bath or shower. Wait a few moments and gently pat dry. (Do not rub the skin dry!)

Since a lotion is just a lot of water mixed with oils, a rich natural butter on warm wet skin will have a similar feel.

Remember, the skin is the body's largest organ
and it needs to breathe as part of its
important role in maintaining overall health!

What are essential oils?

What Are Pure Essential Oils?

Have you ever enjoyed the scent of a fragrant flower or herb? The fragrance comes from potent, aromatic compounds called essential oils found in the flowers, stems, seeds, bark, roots, fruits, and other parts of plants. It often requires several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil.

Essential oils not only give plants their unique scents but also help lure plant pollinators and protect plants from insects and other predators.

The chemical composition of essential oils may provide valuable psychological and physical aromatherapeutic benefits for some people.

It is important to note that to be a true essential oil, the oil must be isolated from the plant material by physical means only. Essential oils are NEVER extracted using solvents.

Although synthetic fragrances or "nature identical" oils are available at a much lower cost, only natural plant essential oils will provide any aromatherapeutic benefits.

If you are pregnant or under a doctor's care for any medical condition, please consult your healthcare provider before using essential oils.

Pregnancy & Children: We do not provide information on the safety of essential oils during Pregnancy or for use in Children because the available information is very ambiguous and often contradictory. If you’re interested in using essential oils during pregnancy or with young children please do your own research and consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional before use.

What Do The Different Organic Symbols Mean?

We use two different organic symbols on our website

Each symbol has a unique definition!

The "certified organic" labeling has been developed by the USDA and refers to organic claims and labeling on food and personal care products in the United States.

The USDA has very strict guidelines for the percentage of organic ingredients necessary to receive organic certification. Other countries have their own certification procedures, requirements, and standards. Labeling criteria and allowable ingredients differ from those in the US.

The USDA uses a structured labeling system based on the percentage of organic ingredients in a product (excluding water and salt-NaCl).

Products That Use the USDA Organic Seal

The USDA Organic Logo Label can be used on products that meet the standards of the first two tiers of the organic labeling system, in which 95 - 100% of all ingredients are certified organic.

Most of our non-soap products fall into this category and display the USDA logo!

Products That Use OEFFA Seal

Products made with 70–94.9% Organic Ingredients are labeled “Made with Organic ___”

Products like our soaps and shampoo bars are 85–92% organic and fall into the “Made With Organic Ingredients” category.

OEFFA Certified Organic Skin Care Why Soap & Shampoo Bars? Because the soapmaking process requires lye — a non‑agricultural ingredient that makes up more than 5% of the formula — they cannot meet the 95% threshold, even though the rest of the ingredients are organic.

These products are not allowed to use the USDA organic seal. Instead, they may display the seal of our certifying agent and the words “Certified Organic by OEFFA.”

Chagrin Valley Soap is certified by OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association) — a nonprofit, USDA‑approved agency that verifies our organic ingredients and manufacturing processes.
