Can soy candle wax be used as lotion

Yes — soy candle wax can be used as a lotion, but only if it's specifically made as a massage or lotion candle. These are designed to be skin-safe, blending soy wax with nourishing oils and butters like:

Shea butter

Coconut oil

Jojoba oil

Vitamin E

How It Works:

Soy wax melts at a low temperature (~120–130°F / ~49–54°C), so it won’t burn your skin.

Once melted, the warm wax becomes a liquid oil that you can safely massage into your skin.

It’s moisturizing, warm, and often infused with gentle essential oils.

Important: Don’t Use Regular Soy Candles on Skin

Standard candles may contain:

Fragrance oils not meant for skin

Additives or dyes that can irritate

Unsafe wax blends (e.g., with paraffin)

Only use candles clearly labeled as "massage candle" or "body candle".

Bonus: Skin Benefits of Lotion Candles

Hydrates dry skin

Adds a soft glow and scent

Warm oil can ease tension (great for massage)
