How to use gel wax melts?

Gel melts are so easy to use. Simply remove the wax from the pot and place it on your burner. We recommend using half a pot at a time with a 4 hour tealight to get the strongest scent throw. This may vary depending on the cup size of your burner. You can cut the wax into pieces with a pair of scissors or break the wax in half with your fingers.

Each 40g pot will provide up to 40 hours of burn time and can be used in both a ceramic or electric burner.

We recommend flipping the gel melt every 4 hours to allow the scent to disburse evenly. Simply wait for the wax to cool to room temperature then peel the wax out.

Keep out of reach of children and pets and never leave your burner unattended while lit.

When stored in a cool place, gel wax melts have a shelf life of up to 12 months.

Each order contains a list of safety instructions. Please ensure to only use 4 hour unscented tealights and a burner with a height of at least 10 cm. Using a larger tealight/ small burner is a fire hazard.

What is gel wax made from? 

Gel wax is made from mineral oils and polymer resin which give it a rubbery texture and transparent appearance. Gel wax has a higher melting point than traditional wax such as paraffin or soy, this mean that gel wax can burn for longer (twice as long as paraffin wax) making them extremely great value for money. Gel wax is also vegan friendly since they are not made from animal products.
