Soy wax melts (also known as Wax Tarts) are not new! But it is fair to say, we believe, that they are not as well-known as candles. Soy wax melts are small, pieces of wax blended with fragrance oils but without a wick and are also known as 'wickless candles'. Soy wax is natural, renewable and biodegradable resource. All our wax melts are made with soy wax, no exceptions. Our wax melts have no added colourants, dyes or other additives and are either white or cream in colour, the natural colour of soy wax. We do not use paraffin wax, a derivative of the petroleum industry.
Wax melts come in many different shapes - squares, circles, hearts, stars, clamshells and even Christmas trees just to name a few! They are melted in a wax melt burner and as the wax begins to melt, its fragrance is released and fills up your home. The wax melts can be warmed by an electric burner, or it can be a "tealight".
Depending on where you place your wax melt burner, our soy wax melts should last between 6 and 10 hours.
Our luxury range of soy wax melts are made with the finest quality fragrance oils and a natural soy wax specifically designed for making perfect wax melts. This natural soy wax creates smooth, shiny, and frost-free wax melts. It is vegan friendly, contains no animal products and it is not tested on animals.
A Chandlery? - "a handmade maker and seller of tallow, wax candles, and also usually soap". A chandlery was originally the office in a wealthy medieval household responsible for wax, candles and soaps as well as the room in which the candles were kept.
We are a modern-day candle chandler, hand pouring soy wax melts using traditional methods and skills but also other fragrance items such as candles, reed diffusers and tealights.
Using a wax melt is very straightforward. Take your soy wax melt and place it on the top of a wax melt burner, see images below. Depending on the size of your wax burner and melts, you usually need to use one or two wax melts to fill a room with fragrance. Place your tealight in the bottom of the wax melt burner and light it. In a short period of time, the wax will melt, and the fragrance will waft around your room. We recommend that you start with one wax melt and if that doesn't produce enough fragrance for your room, try two.
A tealight is a small, inexpensive candle, with the candle wax and wick enclosed in a thin casing. Tealights are usually burned inside a wax melt burner with the resultant heat melting the wax melts and releasing fragrance into your room. When you extinguish your tealight, if there is any wax left, it will solidify and can be reused.
Tealights will burn for between 3 and 4 hours in ideal conditions. Tealights do come in different sizes and as with all candles, where you burn a tealight can affect its burn time.
All our handmade soy wax tealights are hand poured by us. They can be unscented or infused with premium fragrance oils. We use natural sustainable soy wax for our tealight wax which is vegan friendly, contains no animal products and it is not tested on animals.
