Too much oil can cause a fire! - Dayas Essence

"Too much oil is a fire risk!" Okay lets talk flash points

Are you worried about the 30% fragrance load in my wax melts? Don't be!

 

Let's dive into the science of flash points and why Daya's Essence melts are designed to be both incredibly fragrant and perfectly safe for your home.

What's a Flash Point, and Why Does It Matter?

Think of the flash point as a temperature limit. It's the point at which the fragrance oil in your wax melt could ignite if it came into direct contact with a flame.

But here's the key: your wax warmer will never get that hot!

How Wax Warmers and Flash Points Work Together (Safely!)

Wax warmers, whether electric or tealight, operate at temperatures between 100°F and 200°F (38°C and 93°C).

 

The fragrance oils I use in Daya's Essence have flash points well above 200°F (93°C), ensuring a comfortable safety buffer. This means your warmer simply cannot generate enough heat to reach the flash point, even with a high fragrance load.

The Daya's Essence Difference: Fragrance & Safety in Harmony

Here's where the magic of my special formulation comes in. Most wax melts contain around 10% fragrance oil, but Daya's Essence melts are packed with a whopping 30%! You might think this would make them less safe, but it's the opposite.

My unique blend creates a super-absorbent base that prevents the wax from becoming oversaturated, even with this higher fragrance load. This means:

    • Maximum Fragrance: You experience a stronger, longer-lasting scent throw because the wax can hold more fragrance oil without it separating.
    • Even Distribution: The fragrance is evenly dispersed throughout the melt, ensuring a consistent aroma experience from start to finish.
    • Maintained High Flash Point: The flash point of the wax melt remains well above the temperature your warmer can reach. This is because the fragrance oil is fully integrated into the wax, not just sitting on top.

Think of it like this:

Imagine trying to mix a tablespoon of oil into a cup of water. The oil would just float on top, right? But if you added an emulsifier (like soap), the oil would disperse evenly throughout the water. My special wax blend acts like an emulsifier for the fragrance oil, keeping it safely integrated within the wax and ensuring your melts are both potent and safe.

      Your Safety is My Priority

      In addition to my special wax blend, I only use high-quality fragrance oils with high flash points. My wax melts undergo rigorous testing to ensure they perform safely in all types of warmers.

      Real Talk About Wax Melt Safety

      While wax melts are generally safe, accidents can happen due to improper use. To keep your home safe and fragrant:

        • Don't overheat your wax warmer.
        • Keep flammable objects away from the melted wax.
        • Use a sturdy, heat-resistant surface for your warmer.
        • Never leave a burning warmer unattended.
        • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

      By following these simple guidelines, you can confidently enjoy the luxurious scents of Daya's Essence wax melts without any worries!

       

      Your safety is my top priority, and I'm committed to providing you with wax melts that are not only beautifully fragrant but also safe for you and your home.
