The moment a candle is designed to be poured onto skin, it stops being just a candle. It becomes a cosmetic. That means it needs a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) before it can be sold in the UK or EU, just like a body lotion or massage oil. Many candle makers don't realise this until a marketplace, retailer or Trading Standards officer asks for one.

Our CPSR for Massage Candles covers soy, coconut, shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax and blended massage candles designed to be melted and applied to the skin. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor who understands both sides of the product: the flame and the oil.

What Your Massage Candle Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Melted oil temperature. The biggest risk is a burn. The assessor reviews your wax blend's melting point and how hot the melt pool gets, so the oil feels warm, not hot, when poured.
  • What the flame leaves behind. Soot and wick residue can end up in the oil that touches skin. Wick type and combustion by-products are considered.
  • Fragrance for skin, not just for burning. Many candle fragrance oils are certified for burning only. The fragrance must be IFRA-compliant for leave-on skin contact at your dosage, and allergens must be labelled.
  • Waxes, butters and oils. Paraffin and other petroleum-derived waxes need refining evidence, and every wax and butter must be suitable for leave-on skin use. Exposure is calculated like a body oil or massage oil.
  • Sensual and intimate use. If your candle is marketed for couples or intimate massage, the assessor considers contact with sensitive areas and the fact that oils can weaken latex condoms.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every wax, butter, oil and fragrance component with its concentration and allergens.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: melting point, melt pool temperature and stability, including rancidity of butters and oils.
  • Microbiological quality: a justified rationale for an anhydrous product.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: wax refining data, wick details and heat resistance of the container and spout.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: burn time before pouring, areas of the body massaged and intended users.
  • Exposure calculation: leave-on body exposure values, as for a massage oil.
  • Toxicological profile: hazard data and Margin of Safety calculations for relevant ingredients.
  • Undesirable effects: any known reactions to the product or similar products.
  • Information on the cosmetic product: supporting data, including claims evidence where relevant.

Part B: Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment

  • Assessment conclusion: a clear statement on whether the product is safe for its intended use.
  • Label warnings and instructions: blow out the flame before pouring, test the temperature first, keep away from children and pets, avoid eyes and, where relevant, avoid contact with latex.
  • Reasoning: the scientific justification behind the conclusion.
  • Assessor credentials and signature: signed by a qualified safety assessor, as required by Article 10.

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is the safety assessment required for massage candles that are intended to melt and be applied to the skin for cosmetic purposes. The assessment considers the formulation, ingredients, intended use, exposure and reasonably foreseeable use before the product is placed on the Great Britain market.


Yes. If a massage candle is designed to be applied to the skin for cosmetic purposes, it requires an appropriate cosmetic safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. The CPSR assesses the product based on its intended method of use and expected exposure to the skin.


A cosmetic massage candle is specifically formulated for skin contact rather than simply being used as a household candle. Its formulation, melting characteristics, ingredients, temperature during application and intended skin exposure should be considered in the safety assessment. The product must also be presented and marketed consistently with its intended cosmetic function.


The CPSR requires relevant information such as the complete qualitative and quantitative formulation, ingredient details, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, impurities, packaging, intended use, exposure information and toxicological data. The safety assessor uses this information to determine the product's safety for its intended cosmetic use.


Yes. Since a cosmetic massage candle is intended to melt before application to the skin, its conditions of use and exposure should be considered as part of the safety assessment. Information relevant to how the product is melted, applied and used on the skin can help the safety assessor evaluate reasonably foreseeable use.


This depends on the formulations and characteristics of the products. Different fragrances, essential oils, colourants, concentrations or other formulation changes may affect the safety assessment. A qualified safety assessor should determine whether products can appropriately be assessed together or whether separate CPSRs are required.


The CPSR must be completed and signed by a suitably qualified safety assessor. The assessor should have appropriate formal qualifications in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline, or a recognised equivalent qualification. The CPSR should include the assessor's details, qualifications, date and signature.
