Luxury Wax Melts: ORIENTAL ROSE - English Rose Garden

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, temperature fluctuations during shipping can impact wax melts, especially during periods of hot weather, but the effect on the fragrance is typically minimal unless the heat is extreme.

High temperatures can cause sweating (where fragrance oils rise to the surface), minor warping, or melting, which may slightly impact scent throw in rare cases.

However, these issues are generally cosmetic and do not affect the melts’ functionality.

Makers’ Responsibility: Makers are responsible for packaging wax melts as carefully as possible to protect them during shipping, but this does not extend to using specialised cooling materials like cool bags or gel inserts.

Their responsibility is to ensure.

Secure Packaging: Wax melts should be packed in a way that minimises movement and protects their shape.

Optimal Materials: Use of sturdy and appropriate packaging materials to shield the melts from external conditions as much as possible.

Buyers’ Awareness: Wax melts are temperature-sensitive products, and during heatwaves or hot weather, buyers should be aware of the following:

Heat Can Impact Appearance: Cosmetic changes, such as sweating or slight warping, may occur during hot weather but do not typically affect fragrance or performance.

Timing of Purchase: If ordering during a heatwave, understand there is a risk of heat-related changes that are beyond the maker’s control.

Summary: While makers must package wax melts to the best of their ability, they are not responsible for extreme shipping conditions.

Buyers should be aware of the potential for heat-related effects during hot weather, as these issues stem from external factors during transit.

If you’re concerned, consider waiting for cooler weather to make your purchase.

No, over-curing wax melts does not reduce their initial scent strength. Once wax melts are fully cured, the fragrance oils are thoroughly bonded with the wax, ensuring the strongest and most consistent scent throw possible.

For typical wax melts with a 10% fragrance load, the curing process takes 48 hours to 14 days.

However, Dayas Essence wax melts, with a 30% fragrance load, require up to 18 weeks to fully cure. This extended curing time ensures the higher concentration of fragrance oils is perfectly integrated with the wax.

All wax melts on the Dayas Essence website are fully cured and ready for use, so there is no risk of reduced scent strength.

Over-curing does not negatively affect the fragrance; it only ensures the wax is optimally prepared for the best possible performance. 

No, stored wax melts do not typically go off or degrade in the traditional sense, especially if they are stored correctly. Wax is a stable material, and the fragrance oils embedded within it do not evaporate or spoil under normal conditions.

However, over time, certain changes can occur that might indicate the wax melt has been exposed to suboptimal storage conditions.

These changes are cosmetic or textural and do not necessarily mean the wax melt is unusable.

Signs That May Occur.

Colour Changes: Wax melts may darken, lighten, or develop a yellowish tint over time due to natural oxidation or exposure to light. These changes are purely cosmetic and do not affect performance or fragrance.

Sweating (in High Heat): Prolonged exposure to heat can cause fragrance oils to rise to the surface, creating an oily layer. This does not mean the wax melt is unusable and often resolves when stored in a cooler environment.

Texture Changes: If stored in fluctuating temperatures or very dry conditions, the wax might become harder or brittle. This does not impair how it melts or performs but may slightly change its handling.

What Doesn’t Happen:

Fragrance Evaporation in Unused Wax Melts: Fragrance oils remain locked in the wax as long as the melts are stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment. The scent strength does not diminish simply from being stored.

Conclusion: While stored wax melts may experience cosmetic or textural changes due to environmental factors, they do not “go off” or degrade in a way that makes them unsafe or ineffective.

Proper storage ensures their fragrance and performance remain intact for years. If they still melt and emit fragrance, they are perfectly fine to use.
