Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an oil burner and a wax burner?

The main difference between an oil burner and a wax burner lies in their intended use and functionality.

An oil burner is designed specifically for diffusing essential oils into the air using a heat source, such as a tea light candle or an electric heating element. These devices typically feature a small dish or reservoir where essential oils are placed and gently heated, releasing their aromatic compounds into the surrounding space.

On the other hand, a wax burner, also known as a wax melt warmer or tart burner, is primarily used for melting scented wax melts or wax tarts. These devices usually consist of a heat source, such as a tealight candle or an electric heating element, along with a dish or tray where the wax melts are placed. As the wax melts, it releases its fragrance into the air, creating a pleasant aroma throughout the room.

While both oil burners and wax burners serve the purpose of dispersing fragrance, they differ in the type of scented products they are designed to accommodate and the method by which they release fragrance into the air. Ultimately, the choice between an oil burner and a wax burner depends on personal preference and the desired method of fragrance delivery.

Do oil burners work?

Oil burners are effective devices for diffusing essential oils into the air, providing various benefits such as aromatherapy, relaxation, and mood enhancement.

These burners utilize a heat source, such as a tealight candle or an electric heating element, to gently warm a reservoir of water mixed with a few drops of essential oil. As the water heats up, it vaporizes the essential oil, releasing its aromatic molecules into the surrounding space.

This process allows the user to enjoy the therapeutic effects of the essential oils, including stress reduction, improved sleep, and enhanced well-being.

Whether used for personal relaxation or to create a pleasant atmosphere in the home, oil burners are a popular choice for harnessing the natural benefits of essential oils.

How often do you change wax melts?

The frequency of changing wax melts depends on factors like scent intensity, room size, and personal preference.

Typically, wax melts release fragrance for several hours, with some lasting up to 24 hours or more. Changing wax melts every 8 to 12 hours or when the scent diminishes is common, but preferences vary.

Consider room size and scent strength for optimal freshness. Find your ideal balance of scent variety and longevity to suit your needs.

Can you use essential oils in an oil burner?

Yes, essential oils can be used in an oil burner to create a fragrant atmosphere and enjoy their therapeutic benefits.

To use essential oils in an oil burner, simply add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the water reservoir of the burner, then light a tealight candle or turn on the electric heating element. As the oil heats up, it will release its aromatic compounds into the air, providing natural fragrance and potential health benefits such as stress relief and relaxation.

Using essential oils in an oil burner is a popular method for aromatherapy and enhancing the ambiance of any space.

What is the best natural wax for wax melts?

The best natural wax for wax melts often depends on factors like sustainability and performance, which is why all of our wax melts are eco-soy wax melts.

Soy wax is a popular choice for eco-conscious consumers due to its renewable nature and minimal environmental impact. Additionally, soy wax has excellent scent throw, meaning it releases fragrance effectively when melted, resulting in long-lasting and aromatic wax melts. Other natural waxes such as coconut wax and beeswax are also favored for their sustainable properties and unique characteristics.

When selecting natural wax for wax melts, consider factors like sustainability, scent throw, and melting point to find the best option for your needs.

What is the best eco-friendly wax for wax melts?

The best eco-friendly wax for wax melts is often considered to be soy wax.

Soy wax is derived from soybean oil, making it a renewable and sustainable resource. It's biodegradable and burns cleanly, producing minimal soot and emissions.
