When making massage candles it is important that the wax we choose is cosmetic grade, since we are going to apply it on the skin, and has a low melting point so as not to burn us when we extend it. It is also important that it is soft, moisturizing and spreads easily. All these requirements are met by the massage candle waxes in this section. For example, there is natural beeswax or soybean wax, which is environmentally friendly and has no petroleum derivatives.

Once the wax has been chosen, we will have to opt for a butter to provide extra hydration and to provide the massage candle with properties for our skin we will add the essential oils. In Gran Velada we have a wide catalog of oils. Depending on the benefits you are looking for, you should opt for one or the other. They can be mixed, but always respecting the proportions of the formula to achieve the expected result. In our blogs you can see step by step how to make this type of candles.

For example, if you want the massage to fill you with energy you can opt for orange and cinnamon essential oil. If you are looking for the opposite, that is, relaxation and rest, lavender essential oil will help you. To get extra hydration on the skin, almond oil will be our best ally and for an anti-cellulite effect we can combine the essential oil of cypress, rosemary and lemon. Meanwhile, camphor oil will relieve your muscle and joint pain. That's why it's perfect for this type of candles.
