Natural Wax Melts
Natural wax melts are a type of scented product used for home fragrance. They are similar to traditional candles but without the wick. These wax melts are designed to be used with a wax warmer or melter, which is typically an electric or tealight-powered device that gently heats the wax to release its fragrance.
The term "natural wax melts" indicates that these products are made from natural and renewable waxes, such as:
-
Soy Wax: Soy wax is derived from soybean oil and is considered a natural and eco-friendly option. It has a clean burn and typically holds fragrance well.
-
Beeswax: Beeswax is produced by bees and is a natural substance. It has a subtle honey-like scent and burns cleanly.
-
Coconut Wax: Coconut wax is made from the oil of coconuts and is another natural choice for wax melts. It has a good scent throw and a smooth texture.
-
Palm Wax: Palm wax is derived from palm oil and is used as a natural alternative for wax melts.
These natural waxes are often preferred over paraffin wax, which is a petroleum-derived product and not considered as eco-friendly. Natural wax melts can be scented with various essential oils or fragrance oils to provide a wide range of pleasant aromas.
To use natural wax melts, you place one or more wax cubes into the dish or tray of your wax warmer. As the wax is heated, it melts and releases its fragrance into the room. Many people enjoy wax melts because they offer a flameless and safer alternative to traditional candles while still providing a long-lasting and aromatic experience.
