Wax Melt Info and Safety
Our Wax
Country Waters uses a wax blend which is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
Our blend is made of the following wax percentages – 50% Soy, 30% Vegetable and 20% Paraffin.
Our Fragrances
Our melts contain 8-10% fragrance oil for a strong long-lasting burst of scent in your home. They are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
Our Packaging
Where possible our packaging is recyclable. Our brown boxes are made from 100% recycled materials and are labelled with paper stickers. Our clamshell plastics are also fully recyclable.
Please bear with us whilst we aim to make all our outer packing planet friendly!
Safety
- Only use a suitable wax melt burner and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- To avoid your wax melt and burner becoming too hot only use unscented tealights that burn for no longer than 4 hours.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it from draughts.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- As delicious as our scents may smell, these are not food items and must never be consumed.
- Never overfill your wax melt well.
- Do not add water or oils to your wax melt well.
- Never pour melted wax down sinks and drains.
How to use
- Remove your wax melts from the packaging and break off a piece in size that is appropriate for use in your burner.
- Place the wax into your burners well. Once the wax starts to melt its fragrance will fill your room.
- When the tealight candle has been extinguished, or you turn your electric burner off, the wax will re-harden. Our melts can be used multiple times before their scent starts to disappear.
- When it comes to changing your wax make sure it has cooled and set after the last use. Do not be tempted to remove fully melted wax, it will be hot.
Light a tea light candle in the burner as usual and wait around 10-20 seconds as the wax becomes loose enough to pop out using kitchen towel. Be careful as your wax will start to become warm at this stage. We advise doing this on a covered surface. Dispose of your cooled wax safely, do not put any wax down sinks or drains. - To clean your burner, refer to your manufacturer’s instructions.
