Collection: Wild Wax Melts

The main difference between our salves, balms and wax melts is the oil to wax ratio. Our salves have less beeswax, which makes them softer/more oily, and our balms have more beeswax, which makes them more solid then finally our wax melts have even MORE wax than salves and balms. If we eliminate the butters and herbal infused oils that are in our salves and balms, they all have the same 3 basic ingredients! 

Here at Wild Balms & Salves Co., we care about total body health and wellness, not just skin health. So why not go one step further and offer a healthier wax melt for our lungs? Most candles are made with paraffin wax. Paraffin is a by-product of petroleum or coal. It’s a cheap alternative to soy and beeswax. Burning candles made with paraffin wax and synthetic fragrances releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde into the air. 

Our wax melts are made with cotton wicks and 3 simple ingredients; a beeswax base, coconut oil, and mostly essential oils for fragrance. (Soy wax and beeswax are the two main natural options to use in candle making. Soy candles burn faster than the beeswax we use.)
