Why Soy Wax Melts Are the Safest Choice for Your Home and Pets

One of the most common questions asked to me is to do with safety of wax melts. Folks want to know if they are safe in general and also for their pets.

While I cannot speak for anyone else's wax melts I can say that mine are safe for you and your pets.

First things first, let's talk about what makes soy wax melts so special.

Unlike traditional wax melts made from paraffin wax, which can release harmful toxins when melted (this is debateable and many different opinions and types of paraffin, so I always try to be open to new updates and findings), soy wax melts are all-natural and non-toxic. This means you can enjoy your favorite scents without worrying about breathing in any nasty chemicals. My customers asked for soy so that is my main reason for this choice. I personally love it for its ability to hold a lot of fragrance and its durability for travel around the world.

Wax melts have the added benefit of mainly being flame free if you use a plug in warmer. So much safer than candles!

But what about our furry friends?

We all want to keep them safe too, right? Well, the good news is that soy wax melts are pet-safe providing the maker uses pet safe fragrances (we do). I source the best pet friendly fragrances possible because animals are friends! Please note a lot of wax melt stores do not seem to educate people on this, but when I found this out I feel I must always make it known to customers. If you have tiny pets like fish, birds. reptiles with teeny tiny lungs, it is best to avoid having anything with any type of fragrance near them! That includes your perfumes and air fresheners!

Of course it is always advised to keep your warmers out of the reach of your pets so as to avoid them knocking it over or at worst trying to eat it! Same rules apply for kids! Always keep your burner on a flat fire safe surface and never leave unattended cos you just never know. Make sure you are using a decent warmer/burner too. There are many not suitable and I am pretty sure I have another blog explaining more about this.

More Benefits Of Wax Melts

Not only are soy wax melts safe for you and your pets, but they also have other benefits too.

For starters, soy wax melts tend to last longer than traditional wax melts, I am well known now for super long lasting melts, meaning you get more bang for your buck. Plus, soy wax has a lower melting point, which means it won't get as hot as other waxes, reducing the risk of burns if accidentally spilled.

So whether you're a candle enthusiast looking for a safer alternative or a pet owner wanting to keep your furry friends out of harm's way, soy wax melts are the way to go. With their natural ingredients, long-lasting scent, and pet-safe properties, you can enjoy a fragrant home without any worries.
