Wax melts: What are they actually?

You've probably seen them before: small scented cubes that you melt in a scent burner and that then give off a wonderful scent. These are wax melts and they are the secret power for a relaxed atmosphere in the home. We live in a world in which we are always 'on'. That is precisely why it is so important that we take moments of rest, take a moment for ourselves during a busy day. Wax melts help you get out of your head, silence those to-do lists in your head and land back in the here and now. But what exactly are wax melts? How do you use them and why do they work so well? You can read all about it here.

What are wax melts

Wax melts, also called melting wax, scented wax or scented blocks, are small pieces of scented wax that you use in a wax burner. As soon as the wax melts, a wonderful scent spreads through your home. Wax melts have no wick and are not burned like a scented candle, but are heated by the wax burner. That is why the scent is often more intense.

At Roeloffs Candles, the wax melts are handmade from rapeseed wax, a plant-based alternative to paraffin and more environmentally friendly than soy wax. Our wax melts are infused with powerful fragrance oils. You have the choice from fresh citrus to deep woody scents. Each scent is carefully composed to relax, refresh or activate your senses.

Using wax melts for your self-care routine

We live in busy times. Stress and overstimulation lurk daily for many people. But scents can help you improve your mood and calm your nervous system. This is why wax melts are perfect to use as an accessible form of aromatherapy in your own home.

Think about:

• Waxmelt Lavender - Chamomile. Enjoy relaxation in the evening
• Waxmelt Petitgrain - Ginger . Gives you a fresh boost in the morning
• Waxmelt Vanilla - Saffron . Provides warmth, coziness and a secure feeling.

Melt a wax melt, add a cup of tea or coffee and it feels like you are on a mini retreat in your own home.

Wax melts, how do you use them?

Well, just nice and easy:

1. Go to our wax melt collection and choose your favorite scent
2. Break off one block and place it in the bowl of your incense burner.
3. Light a tea light at the bottom (or turn on your electric burner).
4. Within a few minutes the scent begins to spread.
5. When you're done, let the wax cool – you can reuse the block later until the odor is completely gone.

💡 Tip: Combine different wax melts for a unique scent experience. For example, try a mix of lavender and eucalyptus for a spa-like experience.

Frequently asked questions about wax melts

Can you reuse wax melts?
Yes! Just leave the melted block in your wax burner until you use it again. You will know when all the scent is gone, then it is time for a new block.

Is canola wax better than paraffin or soy?
Yes. Rapeseed wax is vegetable. Paraffin comes from petroleum and soy wax is often associated with deforestation. The reason we chose rapeseed is because it grows in the fields in Europe. Good for you and the environment.
