How Do Wax Melts Work

How to use Wax Melts

Wax melts are warmed in a wax melt burner as opposed to being lit with a match. Wax melt burners can be a flame-less electric wax melt warmer or a traditional wax melt burner, (see image below) where the wax is warmed by tealights. Follow these steps to discover how to use wax melts.

• place your wax melt(s) on the top of your wax melt burner.
• insert a tealight in the bottom of the wax melt burner.
• light the tealight with a match.
• wait for the wax to melt. As it melts, its fragrance will be released.
• enjoy the fragrance! Wax melts can last for several hours.

Once the wax melts are warmed to a liquid, they release their fragrance. As soon as you extinguish the tealight (or switch off the electric warmer), the wax will harden, and the fragrance will end. After a number of hours, the wax melts will lose their fragrance and can be replaced with a new wax melt

Do Wax Melts Evaporate? 

Wax melts do not evaporate. Your quantity of wax will always remain the same, but the fragrance will disperse, and the intensity will lessen with each burn or warm the wax melts. You can usually get a few burns out of your wax melt depending on the strength of the scent and how long you burn your melts for each time.
