Suntouched edible candles - massage candle by Earthly Body - review by vegan.guy

The Suntouched Edible Candle is an edible candle that turns into a massage oil as it melts. It comes in 3 different flavors. This review is based on the strawberry option.

The candle comes in a nice heart-shaped metal tin. It has a somewhat sensual/sexual picture on the lid and the ingredients/ directions on the bottom of the container. If you remove these 2 stickers, this becomes very discreet and it can be left out without any issues. The candle smells very nice, almost like a fruit roll-up or some other fruity food, but, the scent is way too strong. It filled my room with a strawberry scent while it was unlit and sitting in my closet. It comes with a little plastic spoon that is pretty pointless. The spoon melts if it gets anywhere near the flame, which is obviously very bad since you don't want to be inhaling those kind of fumes. It's easy enough to pour the wax right out of the container anyway.

Once the wax melts, it turns into massage oil. This worked much better than I expected. It feels good and spreads nicely. I've compared it to KY's "Touch Massage 2-in-1 warming" (it's an oil that says "body massage+personal lubricant") First off, I'll say that I definitely prefer the candle over the KY oil. The two main problems I've found with standard massage oils are that they sting when they get into any cuts you may have and they leave a slight oily/sticky feeling. The candle's massage oil didn't leave any residue nor did it sting the small cuts I have on my hands. Another benefit over the KY oil, is that the candle oil warms up with nothing more than a match. If you want warm massage oil, you have to warm up water, then you need a cup or bowl to put it in, then soak the bottle in the warm water but you want to make sure that the water isn't so hot that it melts the bottle . . . It's not a big deal until you've tried this candle and you realize just how much easier it can be.

When it comes to the temperature, it gets warm but it doesn't get hot. Everyone should be able to handle the heat without a problem. If you're hoping for this to get as hot as a regular candle, you're going to be disappointed.

As far as this candle being edible . . . ehhh. I prefer calling it non-toxic. It doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't taste good either. I was hoping that it would taste as good as it smells, but it really doesn't have any flavor. The ingredients are vegan and they are: Soybean oil, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, apricot oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, vitamin E, and flavor. (As this contains so many types of oil, I'm assuming that it's not safe with condoms. I'm not positive that these oils will damage condoms, but it's better safe than sorry) As far as yeast infections go, this candle is "vagina safe" since it doesn't have any sugar in it.

All in all this is a great candle and a great massage oil. I highly recommend it!
