DESCRIPTION
Dermastir massage candle oils by Alta Care Laboratoires distinguish themselves from other candle oils on the market because of the quality of the massage oil and their perfume. A very pleasant smell is left in the room by the essential oils which have excellent aromatherapy properties. The special property of candle oil is that it melts and keep a temperature of 40°C and therefore the skin is not burnt when it is massaged into the skin. Unlike normal candles the candle wick is made of hemp which is lead free and also it burns by leaving no toxic end products. The hydrating properties of Dermastir candle oil are remarkable and it is recommended to use not only during a massage but also after having a bath or even as an after sun. Dermastir massage candle oils are made in France and the perfumes that are blended in the Dermastir candle oils are all made in Grasse.
