A softly glowing candle that becomes a warm body oil, blending bright citrus and gentle florals into a ritual that relaxes the body and lightens the spirit.
Some scents invite you to pause
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.
Grapefruit opens the blend with a clean, luminous brightness—fresh and lightly sparkling, like morning light through open windows. Sweet orange and lime add warmth and softness, while ylang ylang drifts in gently with its creamy, floral depth.
Together they create a scent that feels airy and peaceful, gently mood-lifting —like floating between rest and wakefulness, or lingering in a quiet garden just after sunrise.
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.
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.
It’s especially lovely for:
A simple ritual of light, warmth, and gentle brightness.
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.
Light the Candle:
Blow out the Flame*
Apply the Oil
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.
Massage candles can also be used as part of a warm manicure or pedicure treatment at home.

"I got this as a gift with purchase and was pleasantly surprised. I don't use candles, so I just scooped out a bit and use on the back of my dry hands. Wow, it lasts and keeps the dry in check. I also have not been able to use anything that has shea in it and this one does not irritate at all. The scent is light and refreshing."
— BKNS (5/5)
"Very nice"
— DIANE S. (5/5)
"The scent is very, very light. I smell more of the remnants of the burnt wick rather than the oils. However, it is very easy to use and gives a very pleasant warming effect. I think I should have tried the lavender instead."
— Erin A. (3/5)
"Bought this as a present for a friend and she loves it."
— Joyce S. (5/5)
"Cool concept, have not tried it yet."
— Cartwright (5/5)
"Same"
— Vivian (5/5)
"We love the warm oil candles! The scents and luxurious massagability are worth every penny! We’ve tried the Romantic scent and the Tranquil Spirit. Both are soothing and lovely."
— Amy G. (5/5)
"The oil is wonderful and a back massage has never felt so good! The oil in the corners of the tin however did not melt all the way from just the wick’s flame. We used a lighter to melt the corners and it worked fine. Just be careful! I did expect the candle to be a little bigger, but that’s on me for not reading the specs closely. Overall five stars and I will be buying these candles again!"
— Emily B. (5/5)
"Had to wait a while for it to get here but it was totally worth the wait. My husband has sore muscles on his shoulders and back and I used this for the massage. He loves it! I use this as a lotion for myself and I love how it leaves the skin light and smooth, not oily or sticky at all. Will buy again and try other scents too. Thank you!"
— Julynn P. (5/5)
"Once this is all melted, it absorbs so well into the skin and moisturizes wonderfully!"
— Chandra S. (5/5)
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.
What Are Essential Oils (Much more detail)
How Essential Oils Are Extracted
Why We Use Only Real Plant Essential Oils?
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.
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.
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.
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.
We know that natural body butters make great moisturizing body creams. But here are some other ways we have used these balms and butters:
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.
Trying to choose the right natural soaps or skincare products can be a bit overwhelming especially when you have allergies and/or skin sensitivities.
Since we proudly list every ingredient in all of our products, reading the ingredient list will help to eliminate ingredients that may cause you problems.
We always recommend doing a patch test before using any new products especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
We receive so many emails asking for help with allergies, we created categories in our “Help Me Choose” section to provide information for those with allergies or sensitivities to nuts, coconut, shea butter and gluten.
Check out our help me choose pages!!
If you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients in our products, they may cause skin irritation. Even natural ingredients may cause sensitivities.
People with severe allergies--please note: If you have severe anaphylactic-type reactions to ANY of the ingredients in ANY of our products, please do not buy our products. We have dedicated soap rooms and product rooms that are kept meticulously clean, but we cannot guarantee against possible cross-contamination of individual ingredients.
We hand make all of our own products in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and perfection.
Our products are not made to sit on store shelves for years and years.
Although there are natural preservatives within the chemical structure of many natural ingredients, they not as potent as the synthetic preservatives used in commercial products to prolong shelf-life.
Other than soap, our products are remade every few weeks and none are very old when they are sold. Our non-soap products should be opened within 6 months of purchase.
Since we use no preservatives or chemical stabilizers, the more important question is, "how long will the product last once it has been opened?
Once opened, skin care products become exposed to dirt and microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds) that are found in the air and on the skin.
As soon as you open and begin to use any product, simply the way in which you use it will affect its lifespan.
So, we use the PAO (period-after-opening) symbol. These symbols are already available on the product pages of our website and we are in the process of adding them to all of our labels.
The POA symbol is a standard symbol that identifies the useful lifetime of a skin care product after it has been opened for the first time.
As you can see from the picture, the symbol is an open jar with a written number and the letter "M" for the word "months."
A product with a "9M" would mean that it is good for 9 months after opening.
Tip: write the date you open a product for the first time on its label so you can keep track of the period after opening.
Our POA number represents our best suggestion. There are many factors that can affect the lifespan of a product. If a product is discolored, has an unpleasant smell or looks odd, the product should not be used and should be discarded.
If you’re like me, and you find an old dusty product hiding in a drawer, makeup bag, or even a suitcase from your last trip, you can call us with the lot number and we can verify its age. Obviously, if it seems off in any way, toss it!
Please note: This PAO symbol is widely used in Europe to recommend the length of time a product remains usable after opening, for products that have a shelf-life of at least 30 months. Our products do NOT have a shelf-life of 30 months before opening.
Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant essences like essential oils to support wellbeing and help maintain the balance of the mind, body, and spirit.
