Massage Candles

Light the flame, soften the skin, soothe the soul.

Orinoco massage candles melt into warm, skin-loving balms infused with botanical oils and essential blends. Hydrate, soothe, and reconnect with four signature scents designed for body, mind, and soul.

A candle that loves your skin

Each Orinoco massage candle is crafted with a luxurious, skin-loving base of natural Jojoba, Avocado, Macadamia, and Sweet Almond oils, enriched with Kokum Butter and vitamin E. This nourishing blend melts into a warm massage balm that deeply hydrates, softens, and soothes the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, and E, this base supports skin regeneration, elasticity, and overall skin health. Every variety is then uniquely enhanced with a carefully selected blend of essential oils—each one targeting specific physical and emotional benefits.

Massage candle FAQs

The most frequently asked questions from our massage candle customers:

  • How do I use a massage candle?

    Light the candle and allow it to melt for 10–15 minutes. Blow out the flame, test the temperature, then pour the warm oil directly onto the skin for a soothing massage. Watch our video guide above for a visual guide.

  • Is melted wax really safe for skin?

    Yes. Orinoco massage candles are fully certified under EU and UK cosmetic regulations as safe for skin application. The melted balm is made from plant-based oils and butters with no known irritants or toxins, and is dermatologically assessed as non-sensitising, non-irritating, and safe for regular use on the body.
