Wax Melts

Wax melts are wickless pieces of scented wax designed to be warmed in an electric or tea-light wax warmer. The heat releases the fragrance oil, filling your space with scent without an open flame.

Depending on the size and warmer temperature, soy wax melts typically last 8–20 hours per cube. After the fragrance fades, replace with a new melt.

Yes. Coconut soy wax melts burn cleaner and at a lower temperature, releasing fewer toxins and soot particles into the air compared to paraffin-based melts.

No — once the fragrance has fully dissipated, the wax no longer provides scent. However, unscented soy wax can be repurposed for craft projects or composted if 100% natural.

Let the warmer cool slightly but not fully solidify, then pop the wax out with a spoon or flex the liner tray. Some people use cotton balls to absorb liquid wax while still warm.

Wax melts are flameless — they require a warmer rather than a wick. They’re often preferred for homes with pets, children, or those who want unattended scenting without fire risk.

For a standard warmer dish, 1–2 cubes is usually sufficient. Using more can overwhelm a small space. Start with one and add more based on your scent preference.

Wax melts do not evaporate — they melt and re-solidify when cooled. The fragrance oil within them evaporates into the air over time, which is why the scent fades but the wax remains.
