What’s a Soy Wax Melt?

When we first started making our own candles and selling at craft shows over a year ago, there were quite a few who weren’t sure exactly what a melt was. We spent a lot of time explaining, and that was alright with us. Some knew it as “tarts”, although we can’t use that term because it’s trademarked by Yankee candle.

Now though, we do a lot less explaining. It seems more and more know what melt warmers are, and have several in their homes. Personally I love my melt warmer, and it’s so very easy to pick out “left over” melts from craft shows and other orders. Sure I still burn candles, but the majority of the time my melt warmer is on.

With the popularity of melts come sample packs of melts. While we normally sell in packages of 10, I’ve noticed many are looking for packages of lots of different scents. This month I’ve put up several sample package sales on Etsy, and just about all of them have sold. Looks like I may have to put up even more in the near future!

For those looking to try out some melts, here is what we have:

10 Pack Melts - Choice of Scent

12 Pack Bakery Melts Sample Pack

Soy Melts on EtsyThere are two main features of our melts:

No Dyes
Since we use no dyes, you aren’t going to stain a melt warmer or have the color of the melt clash with your warmer. All of them are a pure, creamy white.

Large Size
We’ve seen melts at craft shows which are half the size our melts are. If you have a large room, it takes a lot of scent to fill it up. Our melts are over an ounce, and some of the largest “regular” melts you will ever see.

We’ll be adding more sample pack features on Etsy soon, so be watching!
