FAQ'S
What is a wax melt?
Wax melts are like candles but without the wick. Instead, they're melted in the top an electric or tea-light warmer, and slowly diffuse to fill the air with a wonderfully scented aroma. With a candle, the whole of the wax melts away, but with a wax melt, only the scent dissipates.
How do I use my wax melts?
Most of our wax melts can be cut or snapped to size. Simply place a small amount of wax in the dish of your warmer and allow it to melt, filling your room with a gorgeous fragrance. We recommend using 1-2 cubes.
How long does the scent last?
You should expect to experience around 4 hours of fragrance per cube. Everyone experiences scent differently, so what might be a strong smell for you, may be lighter in strength to another. With that in mind, you may find that you can get more than 4 hours out of each piece of wax, and our customers quite often re-melt their wax time and time again until they can lo longer smell the scent.
What type of wax do you use?
Our wax melts are made using soy blend.
What fragrances do you do?
At the moment, we bring out a mixture of new and returning fragrances every so often. This means that what is available to you one month, may not be available again for some time. However, this does mean that we are constantly refreshing our range and there will always be new fragrances for you to try. Please join our VIP on Facebook to view what is on the agenda each month. Alternatively, keep an eye on our social media platforms for regular updates.
Do you sell candles?
At the moment, candles are not something we have the time to create.
Why is my wax going white on top?
This is called polymorphism or "frosting" and is a natural characteristic of soy wax. Frosting is when a white, crystalline layer forms on the surface or sides of natural waxes, such as soy. Some batches of the pure wax that we receive from our suppliers are more prone to frosting than others. It's quite hit or miss, so one of your wax melts may have a perfect top, while another may have frosted. Frosting does not effect the performance of our wax melts in any way and actually indicates that we are using a natural product. While it may look a little unsightly, rest assured that you are still receiving the same high quality products that we are known for.
Are your products safe to use around pets?
In short, yes. Although our scents can be safely used around animals, our products do contain chemicals, so it is important that your pets don't consume our products. We recommend keeping all of our products out of reach of children and pets, and should you require further ingredient information, please do not hesitate to email us at shakeitscents@outlook.com
Are your products safe to use when pregnant or around newborns?
They should be perfectly fine to use when pregnant, however, we strongly recommend consulting your GP before using our products. With regards to newborns, please be aware that babies are very delicate and their sense of smell extremely fragile while they are so young. We would advise against using any highly scented products around the home for the first few months of your child's life.
Why is there white smoke coming from my wax?
The white "smoke" you may sometimes see coming from your wax melt isn't actually smoke. It is in fact vapour, and is basically the fragrance oil evaporating. You will see it more with some fragrances than others and is nothing to be concerned about. If however, you ever see black smoke, please extinguish your tea-light candle immediately - the wax is burning too hot and there may be a hairline crack in the dish of your burner.
