Tropical Fruit Wax Melts - Pineapple, Cherry, Strawberry with Scoopies

Wax melts are small, scented pieces of wax that are melted in a warmer to release their fragrance. Unlike candles, wax melts do not have a wick, so they require an external heat source to melt the wax and release the scent. The heat source is usually an electric warmer or a tealight warmer.

Here’s how they work:

1. **Choosing a Warmer**: To use wax melts, you need a wax warmer. Electric warmers use a small heating element to gradually melt the wax, while tealight warmers use a small candle underneath the dish to provide heat.

2. **Melting the Wax**: Once the warmer is on and the wax starts to melt, it gradually releases its fragrance into the air. The amount of fragrance released depends on the type of wax and the quality of the oils used in the wax.

3. **Reusing Wax Melts**: You can often reuse the same wax melt until the fragrance fades. After that, you simply remove the cooled, hardened wax and replace it with a new melt.

4. **Removing Used Wax**: To remove used wax, you can let it harden and then pop it out of the warmer, or while it’s still liquid, pour it out carefully. Some people prefer to place the warmer dish in the freezer for a short time, making it easier to remove the hardened wax.

5. **Safety**: Wax melts are generally considered safer than candles since they don’t involve an open flame, reducing the risk of fire.

Wax melts come in a wide variety of scents, from floral and fruity to spicy and earthy, making them a popular choice for home fragrance.
