Notes
Safety: hot wax burns; keep kids away while melting and pouring. Use melts only in a wax warmer made for them and never leave it unattended. Melts look like candy: label and store out of reach of children and pets. Many essential oils are toxic to cats and dogs when diffused; warm them away from pets, in a ventilated room.
