Description
The wax melts are scented pieces of paraffin wax, with added colours and fragrances, without wicks. They come in different shapes and sizes. A wax melt can give off a slight scent when cold; however, they are designed to be slowly warmed using a tart or wax warmer. A wax warmer can be electric while others use a tea light as the heating source. Heating the wax melts allows the scent to fill the room. The product is packaged in a blister pack, in sets of six, in carboard boxes.
