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. Grasse is the centre of the French perfume industry and is known as the world's perfume capital (la capitale mondiale des parfums). Many "noses" are trained or have spent time in Grasse. It produces over two-thirds of France's natural aromas (for perfume and for food flavourings). This industry turns over more than 600 million euro a year. Grasse is a sunny little refuge that hangs 1,148 feet high on the hill of Roquevillon, about 12 miles north-west of Cannes. Its exceptionally mild climate and fertile soils yield an abundant wild and sweet-smelling flowering. The local people transform the beautiful coloured petals into subtle and delicate perfumes that have made Grasse the perfume capital of eastern Provence. Legend has it that Catherine de Medicis was behind this new found enthusiasm for perfume. While staying in Grasse, she was greatly impressed by the profusion of fragrant multi-coloured flora that filled this area of Provence, around the Mediterranean sea. Bored with the exotic perfumes that she was importing from the East at great cost, she chose Signor Tombarelli, a native of Florence who was a member of her entourage and perfumer by trade, to create a workshop in Grasse where he could make delicate essential oils from the local flowers. The aromatic fragrances of Dermastir Candle Massage Oil are made in Grasse. This candle when heated, besides providing you with a home fragrance system, will also make available a warm body oil ideal for a massage treatment and a natural moisturiser for hands, feet and other dry skin areas of your body. Massage is a complementary therapy that, when applied with love and care on affected area, can evoke many beneficial changes within the body, mind, and spirit of the whole person. Massage is a powerful treatment precisely because it works on both the physical and psychological levels. While the hand strokes of massage can ease pain or tension from stiff and aching muscles, boost a sluggish circulation, or eliminate toxins, the nurturing touch of the hands on the body soothes away mental stress and restores emotional equilibrium at the same time. Especially beneficial is thus a massage with the pure massage oils of Dermastir Candle Massage Oils.
