Bwarm arrived in a simple classy box: black, white, light pink with a simple photo. The ingredients are easily found and are all cosmetic grade, which is great to know, especially as you’re going to be rubbing it into your skin. The candle itself is very cute, more of a modern style; I’d leave this lying out without giving it a second thought. The wax is very soft though, so if someone would squeeze the holder or poke their fingers into it, it easily molds.

The actual holder is a soft, flexible container that makes pouring it on the skin very easy. No messy spoons or brushes here. After extinguishing the candle, use the tall, elongated area to pour it on your partner (or yourself). The candle can also be very carefully laid down so you can dip your finger tips in the wax to massage small areas. The temperature is warm enough to feel good, but not so warm that it’s uncomfortable. My partner actually avoids massage candles because most are too warm for him, but he enjoys this one.

After using it, the wax does harden, but is still soft. The area where you poured it will have a trail of wax, but that is easily flicked back into the base of the candle. Light it for another minute and the wax melts back into its flat shape so it looks like a regular, modern styled candle again. The rose patchouli scent is very pleasant, it’s a light floral that isn’t overpowering when burned and even more subtle on the skin.

While this candle may burn, untouched, for 10 hours, using it as massage oil significantly cuts its life down. Burning it for 20 minutes provides a nice size pool. After using it a few times, I’m estimating it will last for 10-20 massages, depending how much you use. I love to use a lot of the oil; especially because of the way my skin feels after wards. And while I do not ingesting it, I did lick my hand about 30 minutes after it had absorbed into my skin, it tastes like a light oil based lotion.

As with all candles, be sure to keep the wick trimmed to less than ¼”.This helps to keep the oil clean and to prevent soot when burning. Also please use common sense when using any flame (avoid drafts, place on stable surface, make sure nothing can come into contact with the flame, etc.).

The bwarm is a great massage candle that leaves your skin feeling fantastic. Both my partner and I enjoy the warm wax and the way it makes our skin feel. It doesn’t hurt and it makes the room smell wonderful!
