Why Use All-Natural Wax Melts?

All-natural wax melts are a fantastic choice for numerous reasons. They are crafted from ingredients that are safe to use and gentle on your senses. When you opt for natural ingredients, you can rest assured that your family’s safety is prioritized, as these wax melts do not contain harmful chemicals or synthetic additives. Feel confident using these products, knowing that while they are natural, they are highly effective in creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere in your home.

What’s in This Wax Melts Recipe?

Coconut Oil (Solid)

Coconut Oil is the solid foundation in our wax melts recipe, acting as an excellent binding agent. When melted, coconut oil seamlessly blends with the other ingredients, ensuring a consistent and enduring aroma release that fills your home with a warm, inviting fragrance.

Beeswax

Beeswax is not only an excellent medium for holding fragrances, but it also burns cleaner than paraffin wax. As the beeswax melts, it releases the fragrances, filling your home with the delightful scent of late summer and early fall.

Cassia Essential Oil

Cassia Essential Oil has a spicy and warm aroma that perfectly complements the late summer and early fall seasons. Known for its uplifting properties, Cassia Essential Oil enhances the fragrance profile of the wax melts, elevating your mood and creating a comforting atmosphere.

Orange Essential Oil

Orange Essential Oil adds a sweet and citrusy fragrance to our Summer Spice Wax Melts. This essential oil is invigorating and renowned for its calming properties. As the wax melts and releases its delightful aroma, the Orange Essential Oil helps to create a peaceful environment, allowing you to unwind and savor the blend of sweet summer and spicy fall scents.

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil imparts a balsamic and fresh aroma, making it an exceptional addition to the fragrance blend. Known for its natural deodorizing properties, this essential oil helps to keep your home smelling wonderfully clean and inviting. Additionally, its inherent ability to deter insects makes it a practical choice for maintaining an enjoyable, bug-free environment.

Things to Remember When Using This Recipe

If this oil has been oxidized (left with the cap off for long periods of time) it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly. 

This oil is generally not safe to use if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor prior to use.
