Pet-Friendly & Cozy: Why Our Wax Melts Are Different

🐾 Pet-Friendly & Cozy: Why Our Wax Melts Are Different

If you’ve ever hesitated to light a wax melt because of your pets—you're not alone. Here at Woodfire & Willow, our home is shared with a few four-legged friends too (you may have seen Twix the cat and Weston the pup make their IG rounds).

That’s why we take extra care to craft wax melts that feel good and are safe to use around the ones you love most.


🌿 What “Pet-Friendly” Really Means

Not all wax melts are created equal. Many on the market still contain:

  • Paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct
  • Phthalates, found in many synthetic fragrances
  • Parabens, often used as preservatives

At Woodfire & Willow, we say no to all of that.

Instead, we use:

  • 100% organic soy wax – clean-burning, natural, and premium
  • High-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils
  • No dyes, parabens, or paraffin

Hand-poured in small batches with love in Texas 🤎


🕯️ Why It Matters

When you melt one of our scents, we want it to feel comforting—not concerning. Our pet-friendly wax melts mean:

  • You can enjoy long-lasting scent without second guessing
  • Your home smells amazing, even with pets around
  • You’re supporting a small business that values both coziness and conscious ingredients

🐶 Meet Our Sniff-Testers

If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably seen Twix curled up in a box or Weston watching the wax pouring process like it's a cooking show. They're more than just mascots—they're our built-in quality control team.

(And yes, every scent has been Twix and Weston-approved 😼🐶)
