Details

illuminatedbymia gel wax melts are scented gel cubes that serve as an alternative to traditional wax melts, candles, oil diffusers, plug-ins, and other home fragrance products. When heated at the top of a wax warmer, a fragrance is released into the room. Their gel-like textures provide an extended burn time and makes it easy to enjoy fragrance without any mess—they simply peel off your warmer, providing a satisfying experience from beginning to end.

How to use

Simply break off 1 wax melt cube and place in wax warmer. Add more cubes depending on the desired level of strength.

Turn on warmer, and let the fragrance slowly release into your space.

Each cube can be used for 4 hours at a time, and is reusable up to 4 times or when the scent is gone.

To remove wax melt from warmer, turn off wax warmer and let wax cool completely. Peel off wax melt from warmer, or leave the wax in warmer for future use.

Wax Melt FAQ's

How many jelly cubes do I get and how long do they last?

Our regular size has an estimated scent time of 96 hours and comes with 2.5 oz of wax and 6 jelly cubes. Our jumbo size has an estimated scent time of 192 hours and comes with 5 oz of wax and 12 jelly cubes.

How strong are the scents?

Our wax melts are made of gel wax, which has a higher melting point and therefore burns over twice as long as other common waxes. Gel wax also allows for a higher fragrance load. The higher melting point of gel wax coupled with the higher fragrance load means you can enjoy the scent throw much longer. But keep in mind that perception of fragrance is very personal.

There are many things that can affect your sense of smell, like a cold or allergies, the size of the room, and the length of burn time. Usually, your first sniff of a fragrance will give you the strongest impression – this is normal! The brain and scent memory (which is based on our (often blurry) memory of a fragrance) also have roles in the detection of the strength of smells. In our fragrance testing and evaluation, we are faced with perception challenges every day. Even naming a fragrance can be tricky. The same fragrance under two different names can be perceived differently. So, when one customer says a particular scent is too strong, and another customer describes that same scent as weak - they are both right! 

What are the ingredients in your gel wax melts?

Our gel wax melts are made from gel wax, liquid dye, and fragrance. Gel wax is a translucent wax with the consistency of jelly. It is created using a combination of mineral oil and polymer resin, this gives the wax a slow melt rate and a long burn time. In addition to gel wax, our wax melts are produced with liquid candle dyes that are formulated without phthalates and exclude a wide range of ingredients known to be harmful to human health (carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, and acute toxins). They’re also vegan friendly. Our fragrance oils are phthalate, paraben, and cruelty free and approved by the IFRA to safely use in your home. 

What wax warmers are compatible with gel wax melts?

Choosing the correct wax warmer set up is important and we want it to work for you, your family, and your home. Due to its high melting point, gel wax is better suited to the high power settings on an electric wax burner; nevertheless, the smell may be richer in a tealight warmer as they heat up to a higher temperature, releasing more fragrance. If you choose a traditional tealight warmer, here are a few tips to get the best out of our wax melts.

  • Use a quality tealight (preferably a soy wax tealight - the quality of the tealight makes a big difference).
  • Use 4 hour tealights (your wax warmer will be getting very hot with each use and will need a break to cool off for a little while so it can continue to do its job efficiently). Shop quality 4 hour tealights here.
  • Never leave any wax melts unattended and always abide by the safety instructions on your wax warmer and our gel wax melts.

Are your wax melts safe to use around cats and dogs?

Yes, wax melts are safe to use around dogs and cats, but any fragrance product should be used in moderation since they could contain a small number of allergens to which you or your pet may be allergic. Quality of the fragrance oil plays a huge role in how safe a wax melt is for our furry friends. The fragrance oils in our wax melts are the highest quality, phthalate, paraben, and cruelty free, and approved by the IFRA to safely use in your home. 

What is the shelf life?

In general, a gel wax melt has a shelf life of around two years, but this can be higher or lower depending on how you store them. Our wax melts should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight, and in the original packaging. This stops the product from sweating and the fragrance releasing itself from the wax.
