Wax Melts: What Are They?

You've probably seen them before: small scented cubes that you melt in a fragrance burner and release a wonderful fragrance. These are wax melts , the secret power behind a relaxing atmosphere at home. We live in a world where we're always "on." That's precisely why it's so important to take moments of rest and carve out a moment for yourself during a busy day. Wax melts help you unwind, silence the to-do lists in your head, and reconnect with the present moment. But what exactly are wax melts? How do you use them, and why are they so effective? You can read all about it here.

What are wax melts?

Wax melts , also called melting wax, scented wax, or scented cubes, are small, scented pieces of wax used in a wax burner . As the wax melts, a wonderful fragrance fills your home. Wax melts don't have a wick and aren't burned like a scented candle; instead, they're heated by the wax burner. This often makes the scent more intense and lasts longer.

At Roeloffs Candles, our wax melts are handmade from natural rapeseed wax, a plant-based alternative to paraffin and more environmentally friendly than soy wax. Our wax melts are infused with high-quality fragrance oils. From fresh citrus to deep woody notes, each scent is carefully crafted to help you relax, refresh, or energize.

Wax melts versus scented candles: what's the difference?

While wax melts and scented candles both create delightful fragrances, there are some key differences. Scented candles burn with a wick, creating a flame and releasing smoke. Wax melts are heated without a flame, making them safer to use, especially in homes with children or pets. Wax melts also tend to burn longer and deliver a more intense scent because the fragrances are released immediately as the wax melts.

How do you use wax melts?

Using wax melts is very simple and accessible:

  1. Choose your favorite scent from our wax melts collection .
  2. Break off one block and place it in the bowl of your wax burner .
  3. Light a tea light under the burner, or turn on your electric wax burner .
  4. Within a few minutes the scent spreads through the room.
  5. Let the wax cool when you're done. You can reuse the block until the odor is completely gone.
