Wax melts are safe to use and can provide you with many benefits, such as relief from stress, anxiety, and depression.
Are wax melts bad for your health?
No, wax melts are not bad for you. On the contrary, they are:
• Safe to use at home
• They don’t harm your respiratory system
• Safe near furniture or belongings as they melt down

They’re perfect for people who want to be creative while using candles in their homes but not have all
Are wax melts safer than candles?
Yes, wax melts are safer than candles.
• They emit less smoke than traditional candles
• The material is safe and not flammable
• No toxic chemicals
In fact, they are a great alternative to candles. Candles contain flame and smoke which is dangerous for people with asthma or respiratory problems.
Candles are often made with paraffin wax, and other ingredients that might be toxic.
Our wax melts are made with a soy-based wax, which is natural and safe for asthma sufferers.
Candles can also cause fires in homes if they’re not put out properly or left unattended to burn themselves down completely before being extinguished. Electric wax warmers won’t start any fires because they have a lower heat output.
What’s more, candles require an open flame to function properly and are therefore not safe for use in enclosed spaces such as bathrooms or bedrooms because of the risk of fire. An electric wax warmer doesn’t pose the same danger – all you need to is plug it in.
Even a tea light wax warmer has a low risk of being knocked over. Every wax melt burner is safer than a candle.
Why are soy wax melts safe?
• No harmful fumes
• Biodegradable and environmentally friendly
• High quality, long lasting
Soy based wax melts are safe because they do not emit any harmful fumes, unlike other types of waxes. Soy-based waxmelts are also biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
When you use soy wax melts, you know that it won’t have a negative impact on the environment. They are also high quality and long-lasting.
Unlike paraffin wax, soy wax melts are free from toxins that can be harmful to your health.
Soy wax is also non-staining, unlike other types of waxes which can leave a residue on the surfaces they come in contact with and cause significant damage over time.
So wax melts emit no fumes so you don’t need to worry about breathing them, making them safe for you and your family.
Are fragrance oils safe to use?
Most fragrance oils are perfectly safe to use.
• They are as safe as air fresheners and diffusers
• The fragrance oil is diluted to 10%
• Essential oils are naturally derived from plants
However, some people may experience irritation when exposed to synthetic fragrance oils because of sensitive skin or allergies.
While fragrance oils need to be diluted down to 10%, the maximum that is legally allowed, you should always check the label before using a new fragrance oil to be sure it’s safe for you.
As essential oils are derived from natural ingredients, they are generally safe to use.
In addition, essential oils provide fragrance as well as medicinal properties so it’s a great way for you and your family to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy.
Are wax melts safe for pets?
Some essential oils can be harmful to pets – just like air fresheners or diffusers.
And as wax melts are not intended for human consumption, it is important to keep them out of reach from children. They should be treated in the same way as detergent or washing up liquid.
To make our wax melts the safest they can possibly be, we list all allergens on both the CLP label on the packaging of every single wax melt, and also on the every product listing on our website.
What are the benefits of wax melts?
