What is a Lotion Candle?
Experience the ultimate blend of ambiance and skincare with our lotion candles. Made from premium natural ingredients including natural coconut oil, shea butter, grapeseed oil and soy wax, our lotion candles work to nourish, heal and hydrate your skin.
All of our candles are available in either soy or lotion.
How do lotion candles work?
It's easy! To use our lotion candles, you simply light like a regular candle and allow the wax to melt into a pool. Once a sufficient amount of wax has melted, you can blow out the flame, dip your fingers into the melted wax and massage into your skin. The melted wax is typically slightly warmer than body temperature, making it the perfect moisturizing treatment.

Coconut Oil
Skin moisturization - Rich in fatty acids, making it an effective moisturizer for dry skin.
Antimicrobial properties - Contains lauric acid, which has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. This may help protect against certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi when applied to the skin.

Shea Butter
Deep moisturization - Highly emollient and contains fatty acids that help hydrate and nourish the skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated and soft.
Promotes skin regeneration - Contains vitamins A and E, as well as other antioxidants, which support skin regeneration and repair. Regular use of shea butter may help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone.

Improves skin elasticity - The moisturizing and nourishing properties of shea butter can help improve skin elasticity, making it firmer and more supple. This can be particularly beneficial for areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and heels.
Grapeseed Oil
Moisturization - Grapeseed oil is lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin. It helps hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
Antioxidant properties - Rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E and proanthocyanidins, which help protect the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution. This can help prevent premature aging and maintain skin health.
Anti-inflammatory effects - The presence of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, in grapeseed oil gives it anti-inflammatory properties. It can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea.
