🕯️ What Are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are a flame-free way to fill your home with beautiful fragrance. These small, scented pieces of wax are gently warmed in a wax burner - either electric or tea light-powered - releasing their aroma into the air without the need for a wick or open flame.
Unlike candles, wax melts don't burn away. Instead, they gradually lose their scent over time, leaving behind the wax, which can be easily removed and replaced with a fresh melt.
🌿 Why are wax melts so popular?
Wax melts are popular because they provide a safer, cleaner, and longer-lasting alternative to traditional candles. They come in various scents and designs, and they are less messy than candles. Wax melts also tend to be more affordable than constantly purchasing new candles.
- Stronger scent throw: Wax melts often contain a higher concentration of fragrance oils compared to candles, providing a more intense aroma.
- Flame-free and safer: Ideal for homes with children or pets, especially when using electric burners.
- Cost-effective: Wax melts are typically more affordable than candles and can last longer, offering great value.
- Versatile: Easily switch between scents to suit your mood or the season.
🔥 How to Use Wax Melts
- Select your wax melt: Choose from a variety of scents to match your preference.
- Place in a wax burner: Break off a piece of the wax melt and place it in the dish of your burner.
- Heat gently: Turn on your electric burner or light a tea light underneath the dish.
- Enjoy the fragrance: As the wax melts, it will release its scent into the room.
- Replace when needed: Once the scent fades, allow the wax to cool and solidify, then remove and replace with a new melt.
🕯️Why are wax melts better than candles?
- Wax melts offer a more consistent fragrance release as they slowly melt and release aroma into the air.
- Wax melts are safer than candles as there is no open flame with electric burners, and only a small tealight with traditional burners, reducing the risk of fire hazards.
- They are also more efficient as you can burn them until the fragrance fades without any wastage, while candles often leave behind a lot of unused wax.
- Wax melts come in a wide range of scents, and you can change fragrances quickly, unlike candles where you have to stick to one scent per candle.
- Wax melts are also more budget-friendly as they are cheaper to make and can be reused multiple times.
Can wax melts be reused?
Yes! You can continue to use your melt until the fragrance fades, however I don't recommend using tealight burners for longer than 4 hours at a time, as they can get very hot. Using 4 hour tealights are not only safer but when they go out you know that you need to allow your burner to cool for a while before re-using it.
Are wax melts toxic?
My wax melts are made from soy and are non-toxic. However, some synthetic wax melts may contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates and parabens. It is important to read the ingredients label and purchase from reputable manufacturers to ensure that the wax melts you use in your home are safe. Additionally, ensure that the wax melts are placed in a well-ventilated area and away from children and pets.
