“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!”
A Bulgarian lavender and citrus blend candle that melts into warm massage oil. Light it, pour it, and use it on shoulders, hands, and feet.
Cynthia lights it. Waits 15 minutes. Blows it out. Pours the warm oil into her palm and works it into her shoulders, then the backs of her hands.
This isn’t a candle that sits on a shelf looking pretty. It’s a lavender massage candle: soy wax blended with shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax, scented with Bulgarian lavender essential oil and a five-fold citrus blend. It melts into actual massage oil. The kind that sinks in and doesn’t leave your sheets greasy. People use it after baths. Before bed. On heels and elbows in January. On hands that have washed dishes all day.
The jar has a pour spout because the old one dripped everywhere. The cotton wick burns evenly, so you don’t end up with wax stuck to one side. It comes in a box that doesn’t say “I forgot your birthday” when you hand it to someone.
Keep one on the nightstand and one in the gift closet.
How to use: Light the candle and let it burn until a pool of melted wax forms, about 15 minutes and no longer. Blow it out, wait about 30 seconds, and test a drop on the inside of your wrist. Everyone’s heat tolerance is different. Once it feels right, pour the oil into your hand and massage it in wherever you like. It spreads best on damp skin, right after a shower or bath. Use within six months of opening and store away from heat and direct sunlight.
Cautions: Do not burn for more than 15 minutes before use. Past 15 minutes, the wax and jar may become too hot for safe skin application. External use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Bulgarian lavender essential oil paired with a bright five-fold citrus blend. Softer than drugstore lavender 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 about fifteen minutes (rather than eight) to form a full pool of warm oil. Fifteen minutes is also the limit. Past that, the jar gets too hot for safe skin contact. The pour spout lets you use the oil as soon as it’s ready.
Yes. The wax is built on shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter, the same fats you’d find in a thick body balm, all used in skincare for their emollient properties. Poured warm, it spreads easily over hands, heels, knuckles, and elbows. Plenty of people keep one by the bed through the colder months.
The Bulgarian lavender is the same one used across the Peace of Mind line: soft, herbal, and lifted by citrus so it never reads heavy. People light it after a bath, pour it into their hands, and work it into shoulders or feet before bed. Warm oil, soft lavender, and a few quiet minutes. That’s the whole ritual.
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, about fifteen for Peace of Mind). Never burn it longer than fifteen minutes before use. 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 in wherever you like. 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 at least four full-body massages, and more if you’re only using it on hands and feet.
