“My friend gave me this candle as a gift for being a bridesmaid. I’ve never seen a candle that you can use on your body. I have really dry heels so I use it on my feet at night and put a cotton sock on. WOW!”
Farm-distilled lavender and bright citrus in a soy-based candle that burns down into warm massage oil.
You light it. Wait ten minutes. Blow it out. Pour the warm oil into your palm and work it into shoulders that have been holding tension since Tuesday.
This isn't a candle that sits on a shelf looking pretty. It's lavender and citrus-scented soy wax mixed with shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax that melts into actual massage oil. The kind that absorbs into dry elbows and heels and doesn't leave your sheets greasy. People use it after baths. Before bed. On feet that crack in winter. On hands that feel like sandpaper after washing dishes all day.
The new design has a pour spout because the old one dripped everywhere. The wick burns evenly so you don't end up with wax stuck to one side of the jar. It comes in a box that doesn't scream "I forgot your birthday" when you hand it to someone.
Works best on damp skin. Use it right after a shower when your pores are open. Or after a bath when you're already relaxed and your skin is soft.
Use within six months of opening. Store away from heat and direct sunlight.
CAUTIONS: Do not burn more than 10-12 minutes before use. If burned for more than 15 minutes, wax and vessel may become too hot for safe skin application. External use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Store away from light and heat.

Distilled lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) paired with bright citrus essential oils. Softer than the medicinal lavender of drugstore products and lighter than the heavy floral of vintage lavender perfumes. The citrus keeps it awake (think early morning rather than late afternoon). Once the oil is on your skin, the scent settles into something quieter and lingers for an hour or two before fading.
The essential oil blend in Peace of Mind sits slightly differently in the wax, so it needs ten to twelve minutes (rather than eight) to form a full pool of warm oil. Past fifteen minutes the jar gets too hot for safe skin contact. The pour spout helps you use the oil as soon as it's ready, without waiting longer than necessary or risking an overheated jar.
Yes, more than regular lotion does. The wax is built on shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter (the same nourishing fats you'd find in a thick body balm), and pouring it warm helps it absorb into deeply dry skin rather than sitting on the surface. People use it nightly on heels, knuckles, and elbows through the dry months. Most see a difference within a few uses.
The farm-distilled lavender is the same one used across the Peace of Mind line, chosen because it actually delivers the wind-down quality lavender gets credit for (rather than just smelling like lavender). People light it after a bath, pour it into their hands, and work it into shoulders or feet before bed. The combination of warm oil, soft lavender, and the few quiet minutes of the ritual itself is the point.
A massage candle burns down into warm massage oil rather than just throwing a scent. The wax is soy blended with shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter (all skin-safe at low temperatures). You light it, let a pool of melted wax form, blow it out, and pour the warm oil into your hand. Regular candles use harder waxes that stay too hot for skin contact.
Light the candle and let it burn until a pool of melted wax forms (about eight minutes for Rose Garden and Autumn Harvest, ten to twelve for Peace of Mind). Blow it out, wait thirty seconds, and test a drop on the inside of your wrist. Everyone's heat tolerance is different. Once it feels right, pour the warm oil into your hand and massage it wherever your skin needs it. Works best on damp skin, right after a shower or bath.
Yes. The wax is a skin-safe blend of soy, shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter (the kind of oils you'd find in a good body butter). It's formulated to melt at a lower temperature than regular candle wax, so it pours warm rather than hot. Always test a drop on your wrist first, since heat tolerance varies. For external use only. Discontinue if you notice any irritation.
Use it within six months of opening. The plant oils and butters that make the wax skin-safe also mean it has a shorter shelf life than a regular candle (where wax is the only ingredient). Store away from direct sunlight and heat, which can change both the texture and the scent. Each 5.6oz candle gives you several months of regular use, depending on how often you light it.
