3 Reasons to Use Wax Melts as Alternatives to Scented Candles
Introduction: The Rise of Wax Melts
Wax melts have become increasingly popular in recent years, emerging as a practical and enjoyable alternative to traditional scented candles. While candles remain timeless and loved by many, wax melts offer unique benefits worth exploring. At Craft Society, we understand the importance of creating captivating aesthetics through scents, for every home. That’s why all our luxurious scented candles are also available as wax melts, made from high-quality, natural vegetable waxes such as soy wax and coconut wax.
Comparing Wax Melts and Candles
Both wax melts and candles have their charm, but their differences might sway your preference. Candles offer a comforting glow, while wax melts provide the same enticing fragrance without the need for an open flame. Wax melts are small pieces of scented wax designed to be gently heated in a wax warmer, releasing their fragrance into the air. They come in various shapes, sizes, and scents, often mirroring the fragrances found in candles.
In terms of burn time, candles typically have a longer overall lifespan compared to wax melts, although wax melts allow for greater flexibility in fragrance usage, as you can control exactly how long and when you use them.
Not Missing Out on the Fragrance
A common misconception about wax melts is that they might lack the robust fragrance offered by candles. However, high-quality wax melts from Craft Society deliver delightful fragrances identical to our candle collections. Wax melts melt slowly and evenly, ensuring a consistent fragrance dispersion throughout your space.
Our wax melts contain carefully curated fragrance oils, ensuring each scent evokes the desired emotion, memory, or ambiance. Whether you prefer fresh florals, soothing herbs, or warm spices, wax melts offer a fragrance throw comparable to traditional candles.
The No Open Flame Effect
One significant advantage of wax melts is that they eliminate the risks associated with an open flame, offering a safer alternative, especially in homes with pets, children, or limited space. This flame-free approach reduces the need for extensive safety tips, although general safety precautions should still be observed, such as not leaving heated wax unattended.
The absence of a direct flame also means that wax melts do not produce soot, a common byproduct of burning candles, particularly those made from paraffin wax. We never use paraffin wax in any of our candles and wax melts. Wax melts, especially those made from natural waxes like soy wax, offer a cleaner, safer home fragrance experience.
How to Use Wax Melts
Using wax melts is straightforward and user-friendly, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced home fragrance enthusiasts alike.
What Do You Need
To get started, you only need a wax warmer and your choice of wax melts. Warmers are either electric or use a tea light candle underneath a dish. Simply place a piece of wax melt in the warmer, switch it on, and within minutes, your home fills with a delightful fragrance.
Electric warmers are highly recommended because they enhance safety by eliminating open flames. However, if you choose a tealight warmer, follow basic safety tips: place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it out of reach of pets and children.
