One Thousand Wishes Wax Melt

We use an all natural soy wax which is produced less than 25 miles away from our Cheshire HQ. It is 100% vegan, sustainable and biodegradable.

Soy wax is a natural vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The hydrogenation process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated - perfect for making wax.

Why did you choose soy wax over paraffin wax?

1. It burns for longer. Soy wax has a much lower melting point than paraffin wax and so it's capable of buring for up to 50% longer.

2. Soy wax is non-toxic. Soy wax is made from vegetable oil and so unlike paraffin wax, it's clean burning and releases no known carcinogens when burnt.

3. It has a better scent release. Due to the lower melting temperature of soy wax, the temperature of the 'wax pool' is much lower when you melt one or two squares of a wax melt. At a lower temperature, the fragrance oils vaporise better, thus releasing more fragrance into the air.

4. It is a renewable resource. Soy beans are an environmentally friendly, sustainable and renewable resource which makes them much better for our planet. We even source ours locally to reduce the environmental impact even further.

5. It's easier to clean. Soy wax is much easier to clean if spilt as it's biodegradable. A cloth and some hot water should clean it up no problem.

6. It's clean burning. You won't see any black soot coming from our products when you use them and they don't create any carcinogens.

Your order will be shipped to you in 100% plastic-free, biodegradable, recyclable packaging. 

We recommend snapping 1 or 2 squares off your wax melt snap bar and placing these into your wax melt burner. Light an unscented tealight and pop it underneath. Wait a few minutes for the wax to melt completely and enjoy the incredible scent. 

Each square can provide up to 10 hours of fragrance and can be melted and re-melted until the fragrance has gone and you can no longer smell it.

Fragrance times and strengths may vary between different scents and depending on the wax melt burner used.

Planet Wax Co wax melts can also be used with electric wax burners but we recommend using a tea light burner if you prefer a more intense hot scent throw.
