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
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been 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.
