MassageWax (FAQs)Frequently Asked Questions
Massage Oil and Massage Wax Comparison
Why use Massage Wax instead of Massage Oil? Using Massage Wax
- Minimises messy spillages
- Is more economical to use than massage oil
- Works beautifully as a moisturiser for dry skin - a real treat for your skin while receiving massage
- Provides a better consistency for deep tissue massage while also suiting gentler massage
Removing MassageWax from towels, clothing, and linen
The best solution I have found is to rub dishwashing liquid onto stained areas, then wash on a normal washing cycle. A warm wash cycle helps pull the wax out of the material. White vinegar can also be added to your wash cycle to assist in the cleaning process. All massage wax brands will eventually stain linen as is the nature of the ingredients.
Do I need a Paypal account to buy my MassageWax online?
No you don't - you can use a credit or debit card if you don't have a Paypal account. Once you have chosen your MassageWax quantity and blends, press the ‘Buy Now' tab and you will be taken to Paypal where you can either enter your card details or logon to Paypal if you do have an account.
Essential oils in MassageWax - safety considerations
Essential oils can have adverse effects for some people. This can range from someone who develops a headache just from the scent of certain oil, to more severe reactions. MassageWax is made with slight fragrance intensity so the fragrance is relatively soft and gentle, which is not likely to cause problems for most people. Always ask the person to trial the MassageWax before use, as we all have different reactions to different oils. You may also consider doing a test patch if the person has allergies.
MassageWax usage with pregnancy, children, and the elderly
I suggest the Pure MassageWax blend for the above people. Check the tolerance they have to bees wax and rice bran oil. Very few people would have allergies to these two substances but it's great to be certain of safety.
MassageWax pots - Recycling
Unfortunately most areas do not recycle No 5 plastic in the recycling industry. I have tried to use other plastics that are more commonly recyclable and they do not hold with wax well. As it is not cost effective to return the pots to me for re-use, I suggest that you may be able to reuse them yourself. I have a professional painter that is most appreciative of my recycled pots which he uses for his left-over's.
MassageWax Shelf Life - How long does Massage Wax last for?
Store your MassageWax in a cool area away from direct sunlight. I recommend MassageWax is used within one year of purchase. MassageWax is made with Rice Bran oil which contains Vitamin E, a natural preservative. I currently have a pot that is still beautifully scented and in great condition that is 4 years old. Arnica may become less effective and the essential oils may loose there beneficial qualities if MassageWax is older than a year.
How natural is MassageWax?
MassageWax is made with high quality natural ingredients. Food grade Rice Bran Oil is used in manufacturing, along with pure essential oils of superior quality. Beeswax pellets from NZ are yellow refined and food grade quality. Bees wax is processed using pure crude cappings of beeswax gently melted over clean, untreated bore water. The molten beeswax is then micro filtered to remove all dross.
