Without using any open flame, an electric candle warmer will create a wonderful fragrant atmosphere in your home or workplace. An electric candle warmer is also safe and easy to use.
 
Candles have been enjoyed and valued for thousands of years. In this modern age of electricity and light bulbs, one might think that candles would disappear into the past. However, candles have remained popular and continue to offer joy and beauty especially during the holiday season.
 
These days, instead of providing light to read by during the evening, candles are more likely to be used for relaxation, aroma-therapy and as an enhancement to a home environment. Recent innovations in candle technologies have brought cleaner burning and longer lasting candles. However, some people are still uncomfortable with candles in their home. An open flame can be an issue for those who prefer not to have a burning candle at home or in a work place. Even though a 100% soy candle gives off very little soot when burning, some people are sensitive to any soot.
 
An electric candle warmer is the perfect solution for this situation. A wax melt or wax tart is a candle without a wick. The same high quality 100% soy wax and uncut fragrance oils that are used in a wick candle are used to mold wax melts. Just place a soy wax melt into the warmer and plug the warmer into any electrical outlet. The warmer safely melts the wax and releases wonderful fragrance into the air. Without an open flame, the warmer provides a wonderful and easy way to enjoy the beauty and aroma of 100% soy wax candles.
 
Soy wax melts come in many fragrances. All of our candles and wax melts are made with only the finest fragrance oils available. When comparing candles and wax melts, be sure to look for a couple of important features.
 
First, make sure that any candles or wax melts are made with only un-cut fragrance oil. This means that the oils used to provide the wonderful aroma of the candle have not been blended or cut with other oils. Some mass produced candles and wax melts are made with cut fragrance oils. These candles do not have the same level of aroma and quality as those made with un-cut fragrance oil.
 
Second, look for candles made only from 100% soy wax. Soy wax is the cleanest burning and longest lasting candle wax available. Soy wax candles and melts provide the best value and highest quality available. Enjoy soy wax melts in an electric candle warmer any time of the year.

Perhaps a candle would be a pleasant and calming effect at work, but open flames are not allowed. Now you can have the wonderful scent of a candle without the flame.
 
A wax melt is a wick-less candle that is melted in a wax melt warmer. Candle wax melt warmers are powered by electricity and heat the candle soy wax. As the soy wax melts the fragrance oil in the wax is released. The candle wax melt warmer produces no flame so it is safe and easy to use.
 
Soy wax melts come in many fragrances and are easy to use. When you are done using the candle wax melt, just turn the wax melt warmer off. The next time you are back in that room, just turn it back on and the wax melt will begin to fill the air again with fragrance.
 
As with normal wick candles, the secret to obtaining the best scent is in the quality of the ingredients. We use only the finest 100% soy wax in our candle wax melts. Our fragrance oils are chosen from only the best and are never cut or blended with other oils or fillers. The finest candle wax melts are made with only uncut fragrance oils. Pure uncut fragrance oils produce the best scent through out your house or workplace. Before we pour any candles or wax melts, our fragrance oils are blended with the soy wax. This ensures that the candle wax melt will release the fragrance oil evenly over the life of the wax melt. Also, our candles and wax melts are handmade which ensures the highest quality craftsmanship.
 
An advantage of 100% soy wax wick candles are that they are very clean burning, and give off far less black soot than paraffin wax candles. However, because wax melts are not burned, our candle wax melts do not give off any soot. This can be an advantage for those people who are sensitive to any kind of burning flame. Now you can have the wonderful fragrance without any smoke or soot.

Our candle wax melts are made only from 100% soy wax. Soy wax is a recent development and is environmentally friendly. Made from hydrogenated soybean oil, soy wax supports American farmers and produces one more great use for the miracle soybean. Soy wax has been shown to be cleaner burning and longer lasting than other common candle making material. Be sure to choose only 100% soy wax when purchasing candles and wax melts.
