Frequently Asked Questions
Are Wax Melts Safe for Pets?
Wax melts can be safe for pets, but it’s important to monitor them, just as you would with any new product. If you’re asking are wax melts safe for cats or are wax melts safe for dogs, it really depends on your pet's sensitivities. Most pets are fine with common scents, but some may react differently to specific fragrances.
It’s important to monitor their behaviour to ensure they stay comfortable around any fragrance. It’s crucial to understand the difference between essential oils (natural plant extracts, which can be harmful to pets, like eucalyptus and citrus) and lab-made fragrance oils (synthetic chemicals compounds designed to mimic scents)
Some fragrance compounds, like D-limonene or Linalool & Benzene can irritate pets, especially in high concentrations.
When I say: "High concentration" this is referring to the actual chemical such has d-limonene or linalool etc which is considered high concentration if that chemical has a round 10 to 20% amount in the actual oil not the percentage of the melt.
In melts, these specific chemicals are used in much smaller, safe amounts within the fragrance oil. Our 30% fragrance load relates to the scent strength and longevity, not the actual chemical concentration. Always use melts in well-ventilated spaces and monitor your pet for any reactions.

Are Wax Melts Bad For You?
When used as intended, wax melts are not bad for you, whether they’re made from soy or paraffin. Concerns often stem from the fragrance oils used rather than the wax itself. In the UK, sellers must comply with CLP regulations, ensuring that any allergens or irritants are clearly labelled, so you know exactly what’s in your melts. If you’re asking, are wax melts toxic, rest assured that properly formulated melts, like ours, are designed to be safe. Always use wax melts in a well-ventilated space and follow safety instructions.

Are Wax Melts Safe To Use When Pregnant Or Around Newborns?
Wax melts are generally safe to use during pregnancy, but it’s always a good idea to check with your GP first. For newborns, their senses, particularly their sense of smell, are very delicate. It’s advisable to avoid using strongly scented products around your baby or use a small amount AWAY from your baby during their first few months to ensure their comfort. If you choose to use any fragrance, opt for lighter scents or cut stronger types into quarters and ensure good ventilation in your home.
