While beeswax melts are generally safe to use, there are some safety considerations to keep in mind.
Wax Warmers: If using a wax warmer, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Ensure the warmer is placed on a stable surface away from flammable materials.
Tealight Burners: If using a tealight burner, be cautious with an open flame. Keep it away from children, pets, and flammable objects
Fire Safety:
Never leave a burning or melting candle unattended.
Keep the area around the wax warmer or burner clear of flammable objects.
Do not place the wax warmer or burner near curtains, bedding, or other combustible materials.
Temperature Control:
Be cautious when handling melted wax; it can cause burns. Allow the wax to cool before touching or handling the container.
Avoid overloading the wax warmer or burner with too much wax; follow the recommended amount.
Beeswax typically produces minimal fumes compared to some other candle materials, but proper ventilation is still important.
Never leave a burning wax melt unattended. Burn your melt out of reach of children and pets. Avoid drafts. Never burn wax melts on or near anything flammable. Handle the liquid wax melt with care as wax will become hot.
Store beeswax melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting outside of intended use.
Pure beeswax is a very hard, dense wax that shrinks while cooling, and you may find this can lead to cracks in container candles or larger diameter candles if the wax hardens quickly.
We see these cracks as part of the nature of pure beeswax candles. Being a hard, dense wax can lead to cracks, but it is also the reason why beeswax burns for much longer than any other wax. Instead of using unwanted additives, we embrace this unique property of beeswax as part of having a truly hypoallergenic and long-burning candle.
Every wax melt is truly unique.
Like honey, the flowers that the bees have gathered their pollen and nectar from will affect the composition of their beeswax. As a result, beeswax burns very differently from other types of candles. Treat this beeswax melt with care, and it will return the same to you!
