Scentsy Candle Review

Posted by Lana in Featured, Home | 0 comments

Remember when candles became the big thing ? There were candle stores popping up in malls and street corners everywhere! I used to have them in my living room, bedroom, bathroom – heck, even my foyer had a candle. Then I started becoming aware of synthetic fragrances, and the myriad of chemicals they contained; not to mention the headaches I got on a regular basis. So, soon it was out with the candles, and in with stale house smell. Ugh. I started using those citrus magic thingys, and putting pots of vinegar in my kitchen to absorb smells. I also tried opening the windows to let in fresh air. Those methods worked fine, but I longed for that pretty smell my candles used to give my home. After I had kids, I succumbed to letting my house smell like baby puke and dirty diapers; I was too tired to care. A few months ago, after moving to a new house, my best friend sent me a house warming present that, to my surprise, was something I’d never seen nor heard of before: A Scentsy Candle. At first I was apprehensive about the source of their fragrances because of the whole phthalate issue. But I was assured that Scentsy Candle fragrances are phthalate free! After a few weeks of using my Scentsy Candle, I am so pleased with its effectiveness at giving my home a wonderful smell that’s not overpowering, aka -husband approved! What I really love about the warmer itself is the fact that you can choose one that goes with the color scheme of each room, which can tie in to your home decor beautifully! Got questions?

They are a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to traditional candles.
How does the wax melt? Scentsy’s beautiful ceramic warmers use a low-watt light bulb that slowly melts the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick, filling your home with one of more than 80 unique, long-lasting scents.
The combination of a Scentsy Warmer with a Scentsy Bar is known as a Scentsy System.

How long will a Scentsy bar Last?

That depends on a number of factors, including the size of the room, the Humidity and temperature in the room, and the number of sections used at one time. Generally a Scentsy bar will last approximately 40 to 80 hours.

What wattage of light-bulb do the warmers use?

Our Full-Size warmers use a 25 watt, the mid-size use a 20 watt, and the plug-ins use a 15 watt light-bulb. The light-bulbs can be purchased at any store or you can order them online by clicking on ‘warmer replacement parts’.

How do I change the wax in the Scentsy warmer?

Carefully pour liquid wax back into its original or disposable container if you wish to reuse it. Wipe the dish out with a paper towel and you are ready to pop in a new scent.

For a Scentsy Plug-In Warmer, turn the warmer off for 30-60 seconds and carefully twist the ceramic part off the base. Then pour the wax into its original or disposable container and use a paper towel to wipe the wax out.

Do Scentsy products contain phthalates?

No. Scentsy products are made with fragrance oils that do not contain phthalates.

What kind of wax do we use?

Scentsy uses a food-grade petroleum based wax. Scentsy chose this wax because of its superior scent loading ability, melting point and firmness. Scentsy looked into other wax bases but could not find a good quality wax that held the scents. Because we don’t burn the wax we don’t have to worry about releasing harmful chemicals like a traditional wicked candles, & tea lights. Our candles have no wick, no match, no flame, no soot, no smoke, and no wax evaporation!

How many cubes should I put in my warmer?

A scentsy bar has 8 individual cubes that break apart. Add 1-2 cubes to the full or midsize warmers and use 1 cube for the plug-in. Once you have added your cubes sit back and enjoy the wonderful aroma that will disperse thru out your home.

How hot does the wax get when warmed?

Scentsy Bars in Scentsy warmers melt at 125 degrees Fahrenheit when used with the correct bulbs (25-watt for Deluxe Scentsy Warmers, and 15-watt for Scentsy Plug-In Warmers) The wax will not burn children or pets.

How long can I leave my warmer on?

As long as you feel comfortable leaving it on. Think of it as a lamp, you can leave it on 24/7 if you would like.

Oops! I accidentally spilled wax on my carpet. How do I get it out?

Start by scraping as much wax out of the carpet as you can. Then cut a grocery paper bag to make it flat. Place over wax spot and with a warm (not hot) iron move in circles on top of the paper bag. Lift the bag occasionally to see if the wax is coming off and change the paper often. If this does not work you may want to contact a professional.

Twice a year…one in the Spring (March) and one in the Fall (September). Please contact me if you would like me to send you a catalog by mail.
