Where does the wax go?

Where does the wax go when you light a candle or use a wax melt?

When a candle burns, the flame melts the solid wax into liquid. This liquid wax is slowly drawn up the wick, where it feeds the flame and becomes a combination of gases: carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Once a candle has completed its safe lifespan (1/4 of an inch from the bottom of the jar), the remaining wax evaporates a tiny bit and then solidifies into a small wax chunk at the bottom of the container. 

A wax warmer, on the other hand, uses a bulb or heating element to gently melt wax. The heat is just enough to release fragrance from the wax, but not enough to vaporize the wax itself. This makes it easy to swap out fragrances in between uses!

Once the fragrance in your wax melts is depleted, you're left with a small puck of unscented wax. Animelts wax melts are made with 100% plant-based and biodegradable wax, so you can simply toss the remaining wax in the bin!
