Argan Massage Candle 180g – Forbidden Spices, Ylang Ylang & Geranium

The massage candle in its floral scent — ylang ylang, geranium, citrus fruits and balsam. The most classically spa-like of the four.

How it works

Cocoa butter and argan oil rather than paraffin wax, with a low melt point so the pool stays at skin temperature. Light, let a pool form, extinguish, pour onto skin.

On the scent

Ylang ylang and geranium are the two oils that turn up in almost every professional massage blend, because they are relaxing without being sedating. If you have had a spa massage, this will smell familiar.

Ylang ylang is a strong sweet floral and divides opinion. If you know you dislike it, take one of the other three.

How to use it

1. Light and let a pool form, around 15-20 minutes
2. Extinguish the flame
3. Test the temperature on your inner wrist
4. Pour and massage in

Safety

Extinguish before pouring. Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, draughts and flammable materials. Burn on a heat-resistant surface. Do not use on broken skin. Patch test before first use. Contains ylang ylang — not recommended during pregnancy without checking with your GP or midwife.
