How do Wax Melts Work?

The 100% natural essential oils used in RAWE’s Wax Melts are inhaled through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and almost immediately, the brain. This then has profound effects on our emotions.

why we are failing our mind:

During times of stress such as financial fears and health concerns we often don’t notice the effect it has on our minds and our mental health. We need to be prepared to not only take care of our bodies, but also our minds.

the solution …

The natural essences from flowers and plants contain healing properties specifically effective at supporting us through an emotional shift. RAWE Sugar Co. only uses 100% therapeutic grade essential oils in their all natural wax melts and they are divine, but don’t take our word for it.

… and the science

When inhaling essential oils, the odour molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, commonly referred to as the "emotional brain." And this connects directly to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance.

It’s this relationship that helps explain why smells often trigger emotions. Knowing this, we can see how inhalation of essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects!

What is the difference between Wax Melts and Candles?

Well … Wax melts are scented pieces of wax that come in different shapes and sizes. They are usually heated by an external source to help warm the wax and allow a release of aromas. Candles on the other hand, burn the oil aromas without burning the oils allowing the wax to continue releasing scent without the essential oils evaporating quickly. Read on for more reasons why we love wax melts… 

no fire hazards

Candles make decorative pieces around the home, however they do pose a danger with an exposed flame. While some wax burners do use candles, others run on electricity and don’t require a flame.

convenience

Wax melts and wax melt warmers are often more acceptable to use in the workplace, apartments, and other places where customary candles and their flames could cause difficulty.

no chemicals

By burning candles, depending on what type of wax and fragrances used, these can emit harmful chemicals (such as benzene and toluene) into your home which can have an adverse effect on asthma and allergy sufferers. Paraffin is also the major ingredient in most conventional candles and is a sludge waste product from the petroleum industry.

no soot

When you are using scented candles, be sure to be cautious of the soot they put out and its effects on your air. Soot from a candle is caused when there is an incomplete combustion of fuel. Over time, candles can cause discoloration to your walls and curtains and can stain the edges of your furniture.
