What are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are wickless pieces of scented wax that you warm up and enjoy their fragrance. They are like candles but without a naked flame. You heat up the wax using either a ceramic or electric wax burner.
Wax melts can last a lot longer than candle and are a lot less expensive (however we still adore candles!). Wax melts are a great way to boost the ambiance of any room that they are in and help to uplift any negative vibes.
Wax melts are great as they can be remelted several times before their scent burns off. They are unlike candles as they do not evaporate, only their scent evaporates and the wax remains in the wax melt dish.

Why Wax Type Matters
Best Wax Melts in the UK
When looking for the best wax melts in the UK, it is so important to consider the type of wax that is used to make them.
At Soapfullness, we use Soy Wax in all our Wax Melts. Soy wax melts are amazing for so many reasons.
We love Soy Wax as it is a natural and renewable resource. This makes Soy Wax biodegradable and easy to clean up.
Yes, there are cheaper options such as paraffin waxes, however we aren’t fans for several reasons.
Paraffin wax is a derived from the petroleum, coal or shale industry and it has been found to contain carcinogens (cancer- causing agents) such as Benzene.
Researchers at South Carolina State university found that paraffin-based candles emitted toxic toluene and benzene, while soy candles & wax did not [read more here].
Whilst we agree that it is highly unlikely that burning candles will cause significant damage to your health, it is much nicer, cleaner and natural to burn natural vegetable waxes and means that you are likely to be exposing yourself to less air pollution and toxins.
Soy Wax is also great for wax melts because it is a soft wax which again makes the clean up much easier to deal with.
Simply scoop out the soy wax and replace it with some new wax melts (remember to wash you wax melt dish if you are switching fragrances and do not use sponges to washes your dishes with to prevent any ingestion ).
Soy Wax also provides long and strong fragrance throws. We want you to get the best wax melts and this is one of the main reasons why we chose to work with soy wax for our wax melts.
Using Soy wax also means that the burning point is lower than paraffin waxes. Why is this of benefit to you? Well the lower burn point means that it is easier to heat up in the winter and fragrance will travel better in your room.
Soy wax also lasts longer than paraffin waxes, so you really are getting the best wax melts in the UK (in our opinion!).

Fragrance or Essential Oils?

Let's talk Essential Oils
Stuck deciding whether you should choose fragrance or essential oil-based wax melts?
Don’t really know the difference?
At Soapfullness we are here to help.
Essential oils are made from pure plant sources and are processed from herbs, barks, seeds and flowers and they contain zero synthetic ingredients.
Essential oils are known for their therapeutic properties and psychological benefits, for example peppermint is known to enhance mental clarity and lavender is known to help calm.
At the moment we have our self-care candle range which are over 99% natural and non-toxic, so go and check them out. As Soapfullness grows we will certainly be extending this range into essential oil based aromatherapy wax melts.
Essential oils are more expensive to purchase and require a lot more, work, storage and time to create amazing blends so they are a bit more expensive than fragrance-based wax melts but certainly worth it!
Fragrance Oils for the Best Wax Melts UK
Fragrance oils are amazing too, but they can get bad press because they are synthetic. But they certainly have their place when it comes to home fragrance and producing the best wax melts in the UK.
These man-made fragrance oils have been produced to create amazing aromas. They can be stronger scent throwing, cheaper to purchase and require less storage and time to make, which makes them much more cost effective.
Fragrance oils allows us to create aromas which we would not be able to create with just essential oils. This opens up a whole new world to home fragrance.
They are a vital component of producing the best wax melt in the UK. Fragrance matters and we have a beautiful collection of self-care wax melts ready for you to explore and fall in love with.
As we grow, so will our range of the best wax melts in the UK.
Please note that we are in no way connected to the designer fragrances.

How Long do Wax Melts Last....
Best Wax Melts in the UK
Whilst we all love a beautiful candle [and you totally need to check our self-care candle range], wax melts are a more cost-effective solution to candles.
Typically wax melts last a lot longer than candles.
With Wax Melts you have the ability to remelt them several times before the scent fully burns off and when you need to replace them.
There are various factors that affect how long wax melts last and how strong the fragrance throw is, so we certainly recommend checking out our guide ‘How to use Wax Melts’.
The affordability of wax melts is another big factor when it comes to choosing between wax melts and candles and that can play a big part in why people choose wax melts.
Whilst candles are amazing, wax melts are much more affordable. Staring at just £3.50 for a bar which can last approx 90 hours is not bad value at all!
