Poole Bay Melts was founded out of a personal love for wax melts, and wanting to provide the highest quality products at the fairest price for all to enjoy. With a background in perfumery, and a love for creating, I dedicated myself to research and manufacture a line of products with high quality ingredients whilst being sensitive to environmental needs.
Each and every product is started and finished by hand working by the sea in the beautiful area of Poole in Dorset.
All products are made from a specially formulated wax blend created to produce the perfect wax melt which is 100% vegan-friendly. Poole Bay Melts only uses 100% fragrance oils which are of the highest quality and never tested on animals- none of our ingriedients in any of the range are tested on animals. Fully insured and CLP compliant, safety data sheets for all fragrances are available on request.
What is a Wax Melt?
Wax melts are specially formulated scented pieces of wax that come in many shapes, sizes and colours. A wax melt will give off some scent when cold (cold throw) but really come to life when they are used in a wax or oil burner used with a tea light. They can also be used in the new popular electric warmers.
As the wax slowly warms and melts, the fragrance held within the wax will dissapate into the air around the room (hot throw). At Poole Bay Melts, each section of our Snap Bars, or 1/4 of our Wax Pods will fill a room with fragrance for a time of around 8 hours. It is normal to sometimes see some of the vapour being released from the wax when they are first used and is not a cause for concern.
Once the scent has disappeared from the wax, just clean out your burner (adhering to local disposal guidlines with any waste product) and reload with another section of wax of your choice.
From time to time, stored wax melts can develop a white bloomed appearance. This is known as "Frosting" and whilst the appearance of this can detract from the original beauty of the product, it is completely normal and is a part of using a natural product. Frosting has absolutley no impact on scent throw or being able to use the product and your melt will still perform perfectly. At Poole Bay Melts, our wax blend has been created to eliminate the onset of Frosting, but this cannot be fully guaranteed as temperature changes in storage can cause onset.
