FAQs
What are wax melts?
Wax melts are scented pieces of wax that can come in various shapes and sizes. They are like candles without a wick. They require a wax melt burner in order to melt the wax and release the fragrance. Unlike candles, the wax does not burn away so you can change the wax in your burners when the fragrance oil has burned away and little or no scent remains.
What is a wax melt burner?
There are two types: electric or tealight. The tealight burner requires tealight candles to warm the burner. It is important not to confuse these with an oil burner which are usually smaller in size. The smaller gap between the flame and dish means it gets much hotter - more ideal for oils.
Electric burners have no flame - this is often the preferred choice for people with pets or young children who worry about lit candles. Electric burners do not get as hot so scent throw may not be as strong but wax melts will tend to last longer in electric burners.
Where can I find your scent list?
Our scent list changes month to month so we have no set scent list.
Why do you only have certain scents available in candles?
Candle testing can be a long and expensive process. If a certain scent is requested a lot and is popular, I go through the testing process and add it to our candle scent list.
I use a 100% soy wax for our candles and a rapeseed and coconut blend for our wax melts.
