Abstract: A delivery method and apparatus for massage oil is provided along with an associated massage oil composition. The massage oil is provided in a solid state at room temperature. The massage oil is heated to a liquid state at a temperature which is skin safe. The massage oil can then be applied to the skin and massaged into the skin. The massage oil can be provided in candle form to facilitate melting of the massage oil from the solid state to the liquid state. Compositions including primarily an oil such as hydrogenated soybean oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil or cocoa butter, which are solid at room temperature, provide a major constituent for the massage oil composition disclosed. Fragrances, emollients, moisturizers, sweeteners, flavorants or other constituents can also be included.
