We've got you covered with some ingenious hacks to enjoy your melts (sans the burner).
WHAT IS A WAX MELT?
A wax melt is a cube of wax either made from Soy, Paraffin or beeswax. This wax is melted down and mixed with fragrance or essential oils in a ration of around 10% fragrance to wax. The wax melt is then melted on a warmer, this releases the fragrance scents from the wax. Wax melts come in a variety of different styles, colors and scents. A wax melt is a scented piece of wax, much like what you’d find in a candle jar - but without the wick! To fill your home with fragrance, you simply warm up and melt the wax melt using either an electric burner or a tealight heated burner. They also have many different names including:
- Melts.
- Tarts.
- Clamshells
- Snapbars.
- Hearts.
HOW TO USE WITHOUT A BURNER
Stove method: Warm a small bit of water in a medium-sized pot, and then place a smaller pot within the water and place your wax in the smaller pan. This is a great way to enjoy the aroma without a burner or warmer still.
Microwave method: Make your own burner: Pour your wax beads into a microwave safe bowl and put it in the microwave. ... Put the microwave on for 10 seconds, once it's done give your wax a stir and put it back in for another 10 seconds. Repeat this process until your wax has melted to a honey-like consistency.
