1. What Are Soy Wax Melts?
Wax melts are small chunks of scented soy wax that go into a wax warmerāno flame required. As the wax warms, it gently releases fragrance into the air, offering a clean and effortless aroma experience.

Strong scent-per-dollar: Soy melts hold more fragrance and last longer than many paraffin options.

Healthier option: They emit no soot and are flame-free when using electric warmers.
3. How to Use Soy Wax Melts

Choose your warmer ā either electric or tealight-powered.
-
Add 1ā2 wax cubes to the dish.
