55°C Ocean Green wax play candle — Forest
A 55°C wax play candle that arrives five degrees warmer than you expect — just enough to let your body know something is happening. The ocean green wax carries a forest scent that smells like pine resin and wet stone, the kind of air you breathe on a night walk through woods. It pools evenly from a single wick, giving you time to read each other's responses before the next pour. Designed for beginners ready for a step beyond first-touch warmth and couples building a language of heat between them. The green shimmer disappears into skin and leaves nothing behind but the memory of where it landed.
"This was the second temperature I developed, for people who tried 50°C and wanted just a little more presence. At 55°C you start to feel the wax arrive — it announces itself. I scented it with forest notes because the people I tested it with kept saying it made them think of being outdoors at night, warm skin against cool air."

Prepare your space
Spread a dark sheet or towel over the surface to catch wax. Have a cool damp cloth and water nearby. Move anything flammable away from the candle. The ocean green shimmer is most visible in dimmed, warm light — overhead lighting washes it out.
- 02
Light the candle and build the pool
Set the candle on a flat, heat-safe surface. Light the single wick and wait 8–12 minutes until a full wax pool covers the top. A shallow, uneven pool produces drips that cool too fast — patience here means a better pour later.
- 03
Test on your own skin
Blow out the flame. Drip 2–3 drops on the inside of your wrist from about 25 cm. At 55°C, you should feel a clear warmth that lingers a moment longer than body heat — noticeable but not sharp. If your skin is reactive, wait 60 seconds and check for any redness before continuing.
- 04
Find your distance
Begin pouring from 25–35 cm above skin. At 55°C, this height delivers a gentle warmth that spreads and fades. Move closer to 15–20 cm for a warmer, more defined sensation — the wax will land hotter and set faster. Let your partner guide you. Five centimetres can change everything.
- 05
Pour with rhythm
Tilt the candle and let the wax flow in a slow, thin line. Start on the upper back, shoulders, or outer thighs — areas with more muscle beneath the skin. Alternate between longer streams and single drops. The contrast between a pour and a pause is where the sensation deepens. Avoid the face, hair, genitals, and any broken or irritated skin.
- 06
Remove the wax
Let the wax cool for 1–2 minutes until it feels firm. It will lift off in sheets or flakes. For stubborn patches, slide the edge of a credit card underneath. Applying a thin layer of coconut or jojoba oil before play makes removal easier and leaves skin feeling softer.
- 07
Aftercare
Wipe the skin with a warm damp cloth. Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe. Spend time together — talk about what landed well, what you'd change next time. Aftercare closes the experience. For a complete aftercare routine, see our safety page.

Visit Help CenterThe difference is subtle but clear. At 50°C, wax arrives as soft background warmth — like bathwater on skin. At 55°C, you feel the moment the wax lands. There is a brief point of heat that spreads and fades over 2–3 seconds. It is not a sting — more like the skin briefly waking up. Most people who have tried 50°C describe 55°C as the first temperature where they truly feel the wax as a distinct event.
Yes. 55°C is within the beginner-friendly Feather tier (50–55°C). If you have never tried wax play, you can start here — or begin with the 50°C Violet for the absolute gentlest experience and progress to 55°C on your second session. Many first-time users choose the Duo Holy Intimacy set, which includes both temperatures.
No. The ocean green dye is cosmetic-grade and washes off skin completely with warm water and soap. On very light or white fabric, faint green traces may persist after a single wash — a second wash with stain remover clears them. Using a dark towel underneath during play prevents any fabric concerns entirely.
Burn time depends on the size you choose: S (120 g) burns for about 8 hours, M (165 g) for 13 hours, L (250 g) for 20 hours, and XL (350 g) for 28 hours. For wax play specifically, a typical session uses 15–25 g of wax, so even the S size lasts 3–5 sessions before it is used up.
Pine resin, damp bark, and a cooler mineral layer — like walking through a conifer forest after rain. There is no floral sweetness. The scent is subtle and fills the room quietly without competing with the experience. If you prefer something earthier, consider the 50°C Violet with its cannabis and cactus notes.
Start at 25–35 cm above the skin. At this distance, the wax cools slightly in the air and arrives as a gentle, spreading warmth. Move to 15–20 cm for a more defined sensation where you feel each drop individually. Never pour from less than 10 cm. The single wick keeps the wax pool shallow, giving you full control over the flow.
