What Are Luxury Wax Melts and Why Are They So Special?

What are Luxury Wax Melts?

At Soapfullness we adore Luxury Wax Melts because of their wonderful ability to make any room smell amazing, the ability to reuse and remelt several times before the fragrance burns off and for their affordability.

Luxury wax melts are like candles in many ways because they produce beautiful aromas,  but unlike candles luxury wax melts do not have a wick and they do not evaporate.

Instead the fragrance is burnt off. So every time you come to use your luxury wax melts, the aromas will become more subtle until the scent has gone.

At Soapfullness we make our luxury Wax Melts in bars.  Luxury wax melts are essentially pieces of soy wax which are infused with fragrance which you slowly burn using a wax melt burner (not an oil burner!).

Simply snap two squares from your luxury wax melt bar and you can have up to 12 hours of beautiful home fragrance.  

We only recommend burning wax melts for 4 hours at a time to allow the burner to cool down and so that you don’t become too accustomed to the smell and not be able to notice it (Olfactory fatigue).

How long do Luxury Wax Melts Last?

Wax melts are amazing due to their affordability and their ability to last a long time. One wax melt bar can last up to 90 hours (approx..).

We recommend snapping two wax melt cubes from your bar and using for up to 4 hours at a time.

You can then remelt these cubes another 4/5 times before the fragrance burns off and you can then replace with another two cubes or a new fragrance.

It is important to only use your wax melt burner for up to 4 hours at a time as they are not made to withstand prolonged periods of heat. Always let your wax melt burner cool down for an hour or two before reusing. If you still want to enjoy your luxury wax melts, then purchase another wax melt burner and switch between the two.

If you exceed this time frame, it is likely that your wax melt burner will experience temperature stress and the likelihood of it fracturing or cracking increases considerably and so doe the risk of a fire.

How are Luxury Wax Melts Made?

Producing the best wax melts is incredibly important to us. We know that luxury wax melts can have a profound impact upon your mental health. Smell is one of the biggest factors which can often be overlooked when it comes to self-care, but yet its influence upon how we feel and process emotions is big. 

At every stage we have made sure that our wax melts are long lasting and strong smelling. We want to help you create rooms which smell simply divine. 

That’s why getting the wax and fragrance is incredibly important.

At Soapfullness we are passionate about using soy wax because of it’s ability to throw beautiful fragrances, its easy clean up, it’s long lasting burn and its natural qualities.

Soy wax is derived from the Soybean, a natural and renewable resource. This makes the wax non toxic wax which is great to burn without any guilt.

We take great care at producing luxury wax melts and take our time doing so. We allow our luxury wax melts plenty of time to cure to allow the wax and fragrance to bind together. This means that by the time you receive your luxury wax melt, they will be ready to make your space smell amazing.

How do we Fragrance Luxury Wax Melts?

Fragrance is a personal choice. Smell is closely linked to memory due to the areas of the brain it is routed to, which include the amygdala and the hippocampus, the regions related to emotion and memory.

Some people just want natural aromas from essential oils (we have a self-care candle range for this). Others enjoy fragrance oil aromas.

Both fragrance oils and essential oils both have their place within the market and this is why we use both for different purposes. 

You will hear good and bad about both, depending on who is making what! There is plenty of information out there but at Soapfullness we believe that there is a place for both in the market. 

Essential oils are naturally derived from plants. Whilst they are utterly beautiful, they can be costly, which is why products with essential oils are more expensive. 

Fragrance oils are man-made (synthetic). Fragrance oils have their place on the market because essential oils can’t always make the aromas that we want or need them too. Great care is taken when it comes to producing fragrance oils and we only purchase from the best suppliers. 

At the moment we use fragrance oils in our luxury wax melts because they are strong smelling, they bind to the wax very well and they also keep the cost down, which helps to make some self-care affordable.

As we grow, so will our beautiful handmade self-care range and luxury wax melts. This means that we will produce wax melts with essential oils as we know that people want the option of natural wax melts.

What Makes Luxury Wax Melts Special?

At Soapfullness we handmake all of our products. This means that every wax melt bar has been carefully crafted with you in mind. We hand make our luxury wax melts in small batches and are then left to cure, so once they get to you them, they will smell simply amazing!

We care about self-care and we know that smell can have a big impact upon your moods and emotions.

Smell is such an important factor of our wellbeing which is often overlooked.

We believe that self-care doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming, it can simply be including or introducing new things into your daily life which are easy and enjoyable to use.

This is why we make luxury wax melts and self-care candles. They are easy to use, affordable, really enjoyable and they easily fit into your lifestyle.

So, whether you’re sitting down to read a book, watching Netflix, doing some knitting, doing an exercise class at home, having a bath, wax melts and candle are a perfect way to incorporate into an existing routine which will certainly help enhance it.
