Do you ever walk into someones home and instantly feel relaxed, calm or a sense of nostalgia? That's how powerful fragrance is! Our sense of smell is closely linked to our memories and feelings, making home fragrance a powerful tool for transforming a space. There are many options to add fragrance to your home, from candles to diffusers but a popular and affordable choice are wax melts. In this Ultimate wax melts guide, Ill walk you through everything you need to know about wax melts, from what they are, how to use them and tips for finding your perfect home fragrance. What exactly are wax melts? Wax melts are fragranced infused shapes or bars of wax that are heated in a wax warmer to release the fragrance into the air. Unlike candles, wax melts don't contain a wick or require a naked flame to give off the fragrance. Wax melts are available in an extensive range of scents and release the fragrance more quickly than a candle. Wax melts are made from various waxes including paraffin wax, soy wax and beeswax but here at Kind Melts, we use a luxurious yet sustainable blend of rapeseed and coconut wax. We have found this wax to offer the best of both worlds. Rapeseed wax is a natural and renewable wax obtained from rapeseed. It's clean burning and releases the fragrance slowly. Coconut wax is derived from coconuts, its a more luxurious wax and has a strong scent throw. This wax blend makes our wax melts vegan friendly and eco friendly due to both waxes being more sustainable than other natural waxes and without the addition of beeswax. This fabulous blend gives a wax melt experience that is both kinder to nature, and kinder to you! A simple guide to using wax melts. Wax melts are extremely easy to use! Choose your wax warmer. There are two main types of wax warmers, electric and tea light candle wax warmers. (They're called warmers due to them warming the wax rather than burning.) You can find out the pro's and con's of electric and tea light candle warmers here. Adding your wax melt. Wax melts come in various shapes and sizes, you only need to use a small shape or section of wax bar. Add the wax melt to the dish of your wax warmer and then switch on your warmer/ light the candle beneath the warmer depending on the type of warmer you are using. The aromas are released. As the wax melts the fragrance or essential oils are warmed and release into the air. ( You can turn off your warmer once you feel your space is adequately scented to make your wax melt last longer) Changing your wax melts. Wax melts don't melt away like candles, once the scent has faded you remove from the wax warmer and discard into the general rubbish. To remove the wax melt we find the best way is to slightly melt the wax in the wax warmer and then slide it out. If your wax melt still has scent remaining you can store it in the packaging and reuse it at another time. Remember to check your wax warmer for any cracks or damage before use, keep your wax warmer on a level, heat proof surface, away from children and pets. Wax melts care. Cleaning your wax warmer: Simply remove the wax melt and wipe the dish with a paper towel or damp cloth. Allow to dry fully before using again. Storing your wax melts: Store your wax melts in their original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help keep them at their best for longer. Finding your perfect wax melt for every mood. One of the best things about wax melts is the variety of fragrances to choose from. Theres fragrances to suit everyone and every mood, Heres a few ideas for wax melts depending on the mood you want to create. For Relaxation: Amber & Lavender, Tranquility, Saffron & Sandalwood. For Energy and Focus: Citrus Splash, Revive, Lemongrass, Rosemary and Mint. For Romance:  Amore, Antique Bookstore, Asteria, Luna. Kind Melts wax melts sample boxes are an affordable way to try out new scents and help you to find the perfect fragrance for you. The benefit of wax melts. Wax melts offer many benefits beyond filling your home with fragrance. Fast Fragrance: Wax melts work more quickly than candles to release fragrance. Variety: You can mix and match different scents in different rooms, or use two wax warmers in one space to create your own custom scent. Safe: Unlike candles, you can use wax melts without a naked flame, making them safe choice of home fragrance. Eco-Friendly: Kind Melts wax melts are made from sustainable, renewable wax making them an eco conscious fragrance option.

In the world of natural skincare there is so much misinformation around that it can leave us confused of what's fact, and whats actually fiction. From the claims that all natural ingredients are safe to use, to the overnight skincare miracles. In this post we will look at 3 of these natural skincare myths and provide you with the facts to make informed choices when it comes to your skincare. Myth 1. Natural Skincare is always safe for everyones skin. Fact. When we think natural ingredients we assume that if its natural its automatically safe, Whilst many natural ingredients are safer and more gentle than synthetic ingredients, this isn't always the case. We all have different skin type, and as well as individuals sensitivities and allergies certain ingredients can be harsh on the skin, especially when used in large amounts or in an incorrect way. Essential oils for an example can be very beneficial but can also be irritating if used incorrectly. Some citrus oils can even be phototoxic, increasing your skins sensitivity to the sun and even causing burns and hyperpigmentation. The fact is natural skincare can be gentle and safe but not always, and not for everyone. Important note. Shockingly, There are many bath, body and skincare products on the UK market ( especially on social media and at small business events ) which have not undergone a safety assessment. Each skincare product on the UK market must be assessed by a qualified chemist for consumers safety. If you are unsure if a product holds a cosmetic product safety report please do ask the seller, reputable brands will be happy to discuss this with you and provide you proof of their products safety. Myth 2. Natural Skincare isn't as good as conventional skincare. Fact. As more and more research is being undertaken more proof is being shown that many natural ingredients are just as good and some even more effective than synthetic ingredients. Naturally derived ingredients tend to be less harsh than the synthetic skincare ingredients. For example, Rosehip oil has similar benefits to the synthetic retinol equivalents in stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles and skin pigmentation, but is less irritating. Another example is Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant and skin hydrating ingredient. The synthetic alternative, Tocopherol acetate is less easily absorbed by the skin than the natural Vitamin. Myth 3. Natural Skincare is too expensive. Fact. It's partly true as there are a number of high end natural skincare brands, but there are also many affordable brands too. Whilst it's obvious that quality organic and natural ingredients are more costly, As the demand for natural skincare increases, the luxury natural ingredients are becoming more readily available to us smaller makers. Smaller brands also have lower overheads when running their business, enabling us to create natural skincare products at a more affordable price range. I hope you find this information useful in debunking some of the common myths of natural skincare. By separating the natural skincare facts from fiction, you can make the best choices for your skin and for the planet.
