Soy wax melts are to be used in a wax melter or oil burner to release the fragrances in your home or workplace. Although wax melts are wickless, and you don’t need to lit them up directly, they still pose some risks during their use. Please follow these wax melts safety instructions to familiarise yourself with any potential risks. These risks are associated with electrical melters or oil burners that require tea light.
