At Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co., we're always looking for ways to bring you the best products without compromising on quality or our values. Our 100% soy wax melts have been a customer favorite, known for their clean burn, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and eco-friendly ingredients. Today, we're excited to announce some changes that will make our wax melts even better for you and the environment.
Why We Switched to Plastic Clamshell Packaging
If you’ve ever been through a Kansas summer, you know how intense the heat can get. With temperatures often soaring above 100°F, our soy wax melts—made with no added preservatives—were prone to softening or melting during shipping. This led to some less-than-perfect deliveries, which isn’t the experience we want for our customers.
To protect the integrity of our wax melts and ensure they arrive in the best possible condition, we've transitioned to plastic clamshell packaging. While we initially hesitated to use plastic, this decision was made after careful consideration. Our goal was to strike a balance between protecting the product you love and staying true to our eco-friendly mission.
The Benefits of Our New Packaging
Our new clamshell packaging offers several advantages:
Product Protection: The sturdy plastic clamshells shield our wax melts from the heat, preventing them from softening or losing shape during shipping.
Recyclable and Reusable: We dislike unnecessary waste as much as you do. That’s why these clamshells are both recyclable and reusable. You can repurpose them for storage, DIY projects, or recycle them to keep your environmental footprint low.
Cost Efficiency: By switching to this packaging, we can produce our wax melts more quickly and efficiently, allowing us to pass the savings on to you. Our wax melts are now just $5.00 each—a price we’re thrilled to offer without compromising on quality.
The Same Great Product, Now More Accessible
Despite the change in packaging, our wax melts remain as luxurious as ever. They’re still made from 100% soy wax, with no added preservatives and only the finest phthalate-free fragrance oils. Depending on the scent, we may or may not add colorants to the wax, keeping our focus on the purity and simplicity you’ve come to love.
How You Can Help
We know that many of our customers are conscious consumers, just like us. While we’ve made every effort to choose the most eco-friendly option available, we encourage you to recycle or reuse your clamshells to further reduce waste.
Final Thoughts
At Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co., our mission is to offer products that align with your values while ensuring you receive the best possible experience. We’re confident that our new wax melt packaging achieves this balance, and we hope you’ll agree.
