Simmer Melts

Simmer Melts are scented pieces of wax without a wick. A wax simmer melt can give off a slight scent when cold however, they are designed to be slowly warmed when using a tart or wax warmer. A wax warmer can be electric while others use a tea light as a heating source. Simmer Melts absorb heat slower and release aromas without burning the oils within them. This allows for a nice steady release and scent throw.
