Product Information

If you have just discovered wax melts you’re probably wondering exactly what they are and how they work. There’s a good chance you’re already familiar with scented candles—maybe you have already tried one or two of the many fragrances that are available. At Rising Lotus Scented Candles we use soy wax exclusively to make our candles and wax melts. We believe that this makes the best wax melts. Soy wax is also a fully natural product which is derived from soy beans. These are grown sustainably and are harvested and processed in an environmentally-friendly way. Soy wax is also entirely plant-based, so it is suitable for vegans. Our use of any product name is solely for identification and reference, and in no way implies a relationship with the trademark proprietor.

Making sure you use only high quality wax melts made from plant-based wax will ensure that your wax melts are environmentally safe, and following our top ten tips for candle safety will go a long way to keeping yourself, your family and your home safe. Where can I get wax melts?At Rising Lotus Scented Candles we offer a wide range of plant-based fragrances that are all safe, non-toxic and cruelty-free. Are wax melts safe to use? There are plenty of environmentally friendly alternatives to paraffin wax. Beeswax is a well known example, but it is also expensive because its production process is entirely natural and produces only relatively small amounts. It is also unsuitable for vegans.

They are less common in the UK because the power of this type of appliance is limited to 15 watts, which is quite low for something that is required to get to the temperature needed by a wax melt. Another natural alternative is palm wax which is made from hydrogenated palm oil. Although this can be produced in a sustainable and ecologically-friendly way, this is not always the case. In fact there is a great deal of controversy over the farming of palm oil as it has been one of the main contributors to large scale deforestation.This process can be repeated until the wax melt eventually loses its fragrance. How long do wax melts last? Less commonly used are electric wax heaters. These can be cleaner to run and easier to control than the more usual tealight wax burners. Although the principle is the same, electric wax heaters take various approaches to heating and melting the wax. Wax warmer with heating bulb As you’re aware, wax burners create an inviting atmosphere in spaces like a home or office. The warm glow and pleasant scent will make your space a welcoming place for the senses, especially your sense of smell. As long as you exercise caution when using wax melts then they are completely safe to use. By following simple, common sense practices, wax melts are a safe and practical way to enhance your living or workspace.

The amount of liquid wax in a wax melt is much greater than in a similar scented candle. And so naturally a larger surface area is exposed to the air. As a result a wax melt can release more fragrance in a shorter time. Don’t forget—your wax burner will get HOT. Once your burner is lit or switched on it is not advisable to move it. Even after the flame has been extinguished or it has been switched off it may take some time to cool so please handle your burner with caution. To use a wax melt, simply place it in the dish of the burner and then either place the lit tealight underneath, or if you have an electric burner, turn it on.Some hot plate wax warmers have built in LED lighting which softly glows and may even change colour over time. This can add nicely to the room’s ambience. Plug-in wax warmers

For this reason many people prefer to use wax melts over scented candles. Wax melts are capable of delivering a more intense fragrance in a shorter time. What are the different types of wax burner? Remember to not directly touch the glass bulb when replacing them. We recommend using gloves to avoid premature failure. Some electric wax warmers use a heating plate. The dish in which the wax melt is placed sits on top of the heating plate or pad, which warms up once the warmer is switched on. This type of warmer tends to be lower wattage than the bulb-based warmers so can be more economical to use.Your wax melt will slowly turn to liquid wax as the wax burner warms up. The scented oils that are mixed with the wax are volatile, so as the wax is warmed, the gentle heat will cause the oils to evaporate—filling your room with a wonderful fragrance. It’s very useful to have spare bulbs available, so you can immediately change out a burned-out bulb. If you have bulbs for wax burners on hand to use as replacements, then you can keep the scent in your electric burner continuously throwing scent. Keeping spare bulbs at hand will also save a trip to the shops every time a bulb burns out. The most common type uses the heat from a flame to melt the wax and typically the heat source for this is a tealight. These wax burners are usually made of ceramic material, are cheap to buy and are widely available. Once a burning tealight is placed inside the burner, the heat from the flame warms the burner’s dish which melts the wax. Tealights will burn for about four hours which is usually plenty of time to let the fragrance do its work. Just like wax melts, wax burners come in all shapes and sizes. Most commonly they use a tealight as the heat source, but electric wax burners are also available.
