Just like Goldilocks, finding a warmer that heats your wax melt in the right range ensures MAXIMUM scent throw. Too cool, and there won’t be enough activity at all. If the warmer is too hot, most of the notes will evaporate before they can lift off into local air currents. It’s different for every wax melt design because it depends on factors like wax, fragrance oil, and any additives used in the candle. The theory goes every wax melt has an ideal melt pool temperature range for scent throw. You might create the perfect wax melt but if it’s used in a warmer that’s too hot or too cool you won’t get the best performance from it. Different warmers produce different results Parasoy, versatile for melts and candles alikeĢ. Soy, popular with a higher melt point than other soy waxes Three proven waxes for wax melts IGI 4625 None of that matters if you’re in the right climate or not concerned with their pre-melting appearance in any way. Waxes with lower melt points may not hold up in storage or shipping where it’s warm and end up being a sloppy mess. The technical term is called “ mold release.”Īnother property that helps, but isn’t always required, is a higher melt point. Since they’re “removed” from somewhere multiple times, waxes that “release” them easier are often better to use. When making wax melts yourself there are four guiding principles to follow. ![]() Wax melts usually last 3-12 hours before evaporating all their scent. Hot plates have a large temperature range which change how effective a melt is. Melts (also called “tarts” by some sellers) work around this problem by simply melting the wax over a hot plate. Wicks are the most difficult part of a candle design because improper wicking leads to safety issues and can even ruin the hot throw of your candle. If you’re learning to make them yourself, you’ll find it has a much shorter learning curve than candles. You can think of wax melts as a sister to candles with the most obvious difference being the size and wick – wax melts have no wick. Melts come in all sorts of different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents but ultimately serve the same purpose: to melt over a hot surface and release fragrance into a room. How are wax melts different than candles?
