Are you curious about those small, scented wonders that have been adding a touch of magic to homes everywhere? Wondering what exactly a wax melt is and how it can transform your space into a fragrant oasis.
Look no further - we're here to demystify wax melts and explore why Planet Wax Co is fast becoming the go-to choice for home fragrance enthusiasts.
Wax Melts 101: What Are They?
Wax melts were first created as a way to use up excess wax left over by candle makers. Unlike candles (which originated around 5,000 years ago), wax melts are a relatively new concept that has increased in popularity in recent years.
Essentially, a wax melt is a wickless candle. Wax melts can come in a wide range of scents, shapes and sizes and are safer, more cost-effective and longer-lasting than traditional candles. The wax is typically made from a blend of various waxes, such as soy wax, beeswax, coconut wax or paraffin wax, along with fragrance oils. We decorate ours with 100% biodegradable glitter. ✨
How do wax melts work?
Wax melts are incredibly easy to use. Our snap bars have 10 chunks per bar that can be snapped off and placed in a wax melt burner. When the wax is gently heated, it slowly melts, releasing its fragrance into the air - creating a captivating ambience. This process is both simple and safe, making wax melts suitable for use in various settings.
How do you use a wax melt?
Simply snap 1 or 2 chunks off a scented soy wax melt snap bar and pop them into your wax melt burner - the heat of the burning tea light will cause the wax to melt into a liquid state - releasing the aroma of the fragrance oil inside and making your space smell amazing. 🥰
Planet Wax Co wax melts can be used in traditional tea-light burners or electric burners. It's important to note that tea-light burners get much hotter than an electric burner so this option is highly recommended if you're a fan of a strong hot scent throw!
Benefits of Wax Melts -
Versatility and Variety
One of the most exciting aspects of wax melts is the vast range of scents available. Whether you crave the sweet aroma of lychee with the calming fragrance of peony, the invigorating scent of citrus, the warmth of vanilla or delicious oriental spices, you can find a wax melt to suit your mood and style.
Planet Wax Co has a wide range of scents available, such as popular cleaning product scents like Fresh Unstoppable and fabulous floral accords such as Sweet Pea and Bora Bora for those who like it a little bit fruity - meaning that you can easily switch up the fragrance to match your mood or the season. 😍
Cleaner and Safer Than Candles
Wax melts have an advantage over traditional candles when it comes to safety and cleanliness. Since they don't involve an open flame, there's no risk of accidents. They also produce no soot, which can discolour walls and ceilings over time. Moreover, wax melts are often made from soy or other natural waxes, making them an eco-friendly choice.
Long-Lasting Aromas
One of the standout features of wax melts is their ability to provide long-lasting fragrance. Unlike some air fresheners that quickly fade, a single wax melt can release aroma for hours on end. This means you can enjoy a continuous, inviting ambience without needing to replace your fragrance source frequently.
Conclusion
Planet Wax Co wax melts are a delightful and versatile way to infuse your living space with captivating fragrances. Whether you're looking to relax, create a cosy atmosphere, or simply enjoy a pleasant scent, wax melts offer a simple and cost-effective solution.
