🔥 Wax Melt Safety Guide

A few simple tips to make sure you enjoy your melts safely and get the very best from them:

Using the Right Warmer

  • Always use a proper wax melt warmer, either electric or tealight powered.
  • If you use a tealight warmer, choose a taller design. Short, shallow burners can overheat the wax and shorten scent life.

Tealights

  • Use only 4-hour tealights unless your burner clearly states it is safe for larger ones.
  • Never use 8-hour tealights in standard burners — they can cause overheating, cracks, or even breakage.

Safe Placement

  • Place your warmer on a heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep it somewhere well ventilated so the fragrance can spread evenly.

Crystals and Adornments

  • If your melt contains crystal chips, remove them before adding the wax to your warmer.
  • You can also scoop them out carefully with tweezers once the wax has melted.
  • Rinse under warm water and they will be shiny and ready to use again.
  • Never leave crystals in hot wax.

General Safety

  • Keep all melts, warmers, and tealights out of reach of children and pets.
  • Remove all packaging before use.
  • Never touch melted wax, it will be hot.
  • Never leave a warmer unattended while in use.

Changing Your Wax

  • Allow the wax to cool fully.
  • Apply gentle pressure to one side of the hardened disc and it will usually pop out of the bowl.
  • If it is stubborn, you can place the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes, then try again.
