Soy wax melts are easily our most popular product. They are designed to be used with a wax melt burner, which is a device that heats up the wax melt and releases its fragrance into the air. Soy wax melts come in a variety of fragrances, including floral, fruity, and spicy scents. They are made with a blend of soy wax and oils, and we use the highest quality ingredients to ensure they can be melted and re-melted multiple times whilst continuing to release the same great scent time and time again.
To use soy wax melts, you simply place a small amount of the wax in the bowl of a wax burner and place a tea light underneath. The heat from the tea light will melt the wax and release its fragrance into the air. Soy wax melts are a popular choice because they are easy to use, long-lasting, and come in a wide range of scents.
Are soy wax melts safe for sensitive skin?
Soy wax melts are generally considered safe for use by people with sensitive skin or allergies. Unlike paraffin wax used by big name brands, soy wax melts do not produce pollutants or other by-products when used as directed, making them a safe and convenient way to fragrance your home or other indoor space.
In fact, we have experienced no problems whilst making our wax melts, despite having sensitive skin ourselves. However, as with any wax melt product, they are not designed for use on the skin and as such we recommend contact with the skin is minimised. Whilst the vast majority of people will not have any problem handling soy wax melts, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, it is always a good idea to take care when trying any new product, and to handle them with gloves if you are worried about any reaction you may have. If you experience any irritation or other adverse reactions after using soy wax melts, you should stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
Safety precautions towards soy wax melts
There are a few safety precautions that should be taken when using soy wax melts:
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer: It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when using soy wax melts, including any safety precautions or warnings.
Use caution when handling hot wax: Soy wax melts should be melted in a wax burner, which heats the wax to a safe temperature. However, once you wish to remove a wax melt from the burner, it is important that you either let it cool and solidify first, or use gloves or something other than your hand to remove the wax. This will stop the wax drying on your skin.
Keep wax melts away from children and pets: Soy wax melts should be kept out of reach of children and pets, as they may be tempted to ingest the wax.
Use the appropriate size and type of wax burner: Make sure to use the appropriate size and type of wax burner for the amount and type of wax you are using. We typically recommend that a wax burner should be at least 8cm to 10cm in height.
Do not leave a wax burner unattended: Do not leave a wax burner unattended while it is in use. Whilst wax burners are typically extremely safe, it is always recommended that any heating device is not left alone.
By following these safety precautions, you can use our soy wax melts safely and effectively to fragrance your home or other indoor space.
Benefits of handmade soy wax melts
There are several benefits to buying our hand-made soy wax melts:
Quality Control: By making and hand pouring each individual soy wax melts, we have complete control over the type of wax, fragrance oils, and molds we use. This allows us to ensure that each of our soy wax melts are of the highest quality.
Cost savings: Buying our handmade soy wax melts can save you money compared to purchasing them from a store. Whilst store-bought wax melts may appear cheaper initially, the fragrance will run out much quicker compared to our wax melts, meaning you have to re-buy them all over again.
Reduced carbon footprint: By purchasing soy wax melts from a small business, you don’t contribute to the significant carbon footprint of mass produced wax melts. Not only do the bigger brands tend to use less environmentally and health friendly wax, they also produce considerable pollution as their products are produced in large factories in lower-income countries and then flown across to the United Kingdom.
Personal satisfaction: Knowing that your purchase is helping a small business survive for another month instead of contributing to a CEO’s yearly bonus makes those wax melts smell even better!
