Candles can do more than set the mood. In intimacy and self-care, they’ve become tools for touch, play, and connection. But if you’ve started exploring, you’ve likely come across two different types: massage candles and wax play candles. At first glance they may seem similar — both melt into warm liquid — but their purpose, sensation, and even formulation are different.

What Are Massage Candles?

Massage candles are designed primarily for skincare and relaxation. Made with nourishing oils like soy wax, coconut oil, and shea butter, they melt into a silky massage oil. The warmth relaxes muscles while the blend hydrates skin, making them perfect for aromatherapy, spa rituals, or sensual massages.

Melt into liquid oil for massage
Focus on relaxation and skincare
Low-temperature burn, safe for body contact

What Are Wax Play Candles?

Wax play candles, on the other hand, are made for temperature play in intimacy. They melt at a low temperature so the wax feels warm — never dangerously hot — when it touches the skin. Instead of peeling off like regular candles, body-safe wax play candles (like Savoré’s) melt into a serum that can also be rubbed in to moisturize.

Created for kink, foreplay, and intimacy rituals
Low-temperature melt for safe skin contact
Double up as skincare — rub into skin after play

Which Candle Is Right for You?

Choose a massage candle if your goal is relaxation, gentle touch, or spa-like skincare.
Choose a wax play candle if you’re curious about kink, foreplay, or adding heat to intimacy — while still caring for your skin.

At Savoré, our wax play candles in India are crafted with soy wax, beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter. They melt at a low temperature, creating just enough heat for excitement, then transform into a nourishing serum for aftercare.

Whether you’re starting with massage or diving into wax play, the secret is choosing body-safe, low-temperature candles that combine pleasure with safety.
