Bwarm - massage candle by B Swish - review by El-Jaro

This product is a good multi-tasker! First, it's not a bad little candle. I'm not sure what the holder is made out of, silicone or some kind of rubber, but it gives a soft reflection of light.

The wax/oil has a list of natural ingredients (coconut oil/wax, soy oil/wax, shea butter, palm wax, bees wax, jojoba oil, aloe vera, vitamin e oil, and fragrance), so it could be good for those with allergies and/or sensitivities to harsh chemicals. The natural ingredients will absorb into the skin and shouldn't cause too much harm (rashes, acne, clogged pores); make sure you try a bit on your arm or leg to make sure you don't react to it. I've got really sensitive skin and had no problems with the Bwarm.

The texture of the wax/oil is unique. When not lit, the wax is soft and pliable. Because of the low melting point of the wax, you could actually finger out a bit and apply it that way. When melted, the wax turns into a massage oil that applies like a gel but acts as an oil. The oil's consistency is pretty smooth and not too thick when applying.

Because of the low melting point, the wax doesn't really harden at room temp either. You could almost apply it without lighting the candle, but fire is so much fun!

I LOVE the smell of Bwarm! I have the fig scent. It's a light yet persistent fragrance. I've only used it once and then set it in on my computer desk. Now, every time I sit down, I'm welcomed by subtle scent of figs (like the Newton, only better).

The smell lingers on the skin until washed off with soap, water, and a wee bit of scrubbing.

The dryness of the person's skin really affects how long it lasts during the rub-down. If the person has dry skin, the natural oils seep right in and you'll need to apply more. When melting the wax, give it an extra minutes of melting time. It's hard to judge how much you have to work with, better to have more melted than more needed.

The melted wax turns into more of a gel than oil, which is actually better for application; it doesn't spread around as much. The gel easily pours out of the container because of the unique design of the candle holder. The gel pretty much stays put where you pour it.

I'm kind of a fuzzy guy and this oil/gel didn't cause any painful hair pulling or knotting (thank goodness!).

As above, the oil doesn't come off with just soap and water. You have to rub it out a bit or use a loofah. You could also just leave it on for a bit for some moisturizing.

The Bwarm comes set in a formed plastic tray in the box along with the multi-lingual user manual.

Other than acting like a small area air freshener, the Bwarm is a good moisturizer too. It has Vit E and Shea butter, much like a good hand lotion.

I like Bwarm a lot and can't wait to use it again!

Make sure you blow out the wick before applying!

We took turns giving each other massages with the gel from the Bwarm. However, because it's so hard to misjudge the amount you're going to melt out, we switched over to another massage oil.

The mix of the two was ok, no interactions. The intermingling of the smells was interesting too.

We definitely plan on using Bwarm until it's gone.
