We were noticing that some of the candles were only made of soy wax. Soy wax, even when melted is very heavy and doesn't give you the feel that a massage oil should have. Also, it doesn't have any of the oils to help moisturize and promote healthy skin. While we are not saying that any of those other candles are bad for you, (which, by the way, they are not) we believe that if you are going to massage something into your body then it should be made of quality ingredients, actually be good for your skin, and be silky and smooth when being massaged.
• Carrier Oils - The oils that we are using are all known for their wonderful therapeutic properties. These oils are what will make our candles stand alone in the "Massage Candle" industry. We use only oils that moisturize, absorb easily and are nourishing.
The Carrier Oils that will be used are:: ~
Grape seed Oil - Easily absorbed by the skin and has great emollient properties. Has a mild astringent qualities which help to tighten and tone the skin. Contains Vitamin E. ~ Sesame Seed Oil - Excellent moisturizing properties. Unique ability to penetrate the skin easily, nourishing and detoxifying even the deepest tissue layers. Effective in treating sensitive skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
• Liquid Shea - The same qualities as Shea Butter but in liquid form. Improves skin softness and suppleness.
• Jojoba - Used by the Native Americans to treat sores, cuts, burns and as a conditioner for the skin. Jojoba is "skin therapy". Can increase skin softness, reduce signs superficial lines and wrinkles. Hypoallergenic and pure.
• Coconut Oil - Rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti- viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal. One of the healthiest things you can put on your skin.
• Vitamin E we have chosen these oils because of their known therapeutic properties. Each one compliments the other to give you the maximum benefits for your skin. While we could make our candles for less by eliminating some of these, we believe that you should only put quality products on your skin.
And hey, it just makes your massage
even that much more beneficial.
