This four-pack of XR Glow Wax drip candles is made for wax play, and the wax glows neon under a black light. You get one each in orange, yellow, green and blue, all unscented, so you can layer colours on skin and watch them light up once the UV lamp is on. Each taper is 7.5 inches tall and burns for about 2 hours.
The wax is a soy and paraffin blend that XR lists as melting between 48 and 52 °C. Adding paraffin makes a drip that feels warmer than pure soy wax, so start cautiously. The glow only shows under black light, which isn't included; in normal light the colours are simply bright.
XR's own method is to let the candle burn until a pool of wax forms, blow it out, and then pour from height; the supplier suggests holding it about 3 feet above the skin. The higher you hold it, the more the drop cools on the way down.
Lay a towel or drop cloth under you first. Test a drip on your own inner forearm before your partner's body, and avoid the face, hair, eyes and genitals. Spread a hot spot with your palm to cool it. Keep checking in, and keep a lit candle on a stable, non-flammable surface whenever it isn't in your hand. Skin that hasn't just been shaved copes far better with hot wax.
Let the wax cool, then peel or wipe it away. Body wash lifts the film left on skin; moisturise afterwards. On fabric, freeze the wax and scrape it off.
These suit couples who want colour and visual drama, especially for photos or a party scene with a UV lamp. If you'd prefer a single colour or a different shape, the Wicked Wax set uses lower-melting pure soy, and the Fetish Drip Candles come in classic red. For warm oil you can rub in, look at massage candles instead.

Helpful answers about XR Glow Wax UV Blacklight Reactive Drip Candles – 4 Pack.
No, the UV blacklight drip candles only glow under a black light, which isn't included. In normal room light the orange, yellow, green and blue wax just looks bright. Any small UV lamp or UV bulb works to make the dried wax light up.
The wax from these UV drip candles melts at 48 to 52 °C, according to XR. Because it's partly paraffin, a drop can feel warmer than pure soy wax. Always test on your own forearm, and pour from higher up to let each drip cool.
Each of the UV blacklight drip candles burns for about 2 hours, so the four-pack gives roughly 8 hours of wax in total. You'll usually only burn them a short while per session, since you blow the flame out before pouring.
Remove wax from the UV drip candles by letting it cool fully, then peeling or wiping it off. Body wash clears the thin film left on skin. On sheets or clothing, freeze the wax so it hardens, then scrape it away.
The UV blacklight drip candles are unscented, which keeps the focus on warmth and colour. That also helps if you or your partner react to perfume. If you'd like fragrance, use a scented candle elsewhere in the room rather than on skin.
