Introduction
A massage candle marketed to be melted and applied to skin is regulated as a cosmetic product under Annex I, not as a standard home-fragrance candle a distinction many candle makers miss. Your CPSR assesses the melted wax/oil blend for skin safety and confirms your labelling carries the temperature warning needed to prevent thermal injury.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review of the melted wax and oil blend against Annex II and III
- Skin-safety and temperature assessment of the product once melted, distinct from the unlit candle
- Fragrance and essential oil allergen screening against Annex III and current IFRA Standards
- Labelling review to confirm the required melt-temperature and skin-contact warning is present
- Packaging and vessel heat-transfer consideration relevant to safe handling
Who This Is For
Candle and bodycare crossover brands producing massage candles or "skin candle" products intended for topical application once melted.
Note: a CPSR is not transferable between formulations each distinct wax/oil blend or fragrance combination you sell needs its own assessment, even within the same product line.
