What kind of bulbs do Scentsy Products use?
Scentsy Deluxe warmers use a 25-watt bulb and Scentsy Plug-in warmers use a 15-watt bulb. These bulbs can be purchased online by clicking Buy Scentsy Candles above. Once you get to the shopping cart, the bulbs are under the Individual Warmer Pieces category.
Can Scentsy wax be used in a non-Scentsy warmer?
Of course, but I wouldn't recommend it. Scentsy's warmers are made specifically for the Scentsy wax, they are set to reach a perfect temperature. They get just warm enough to release the scent into the air without releasing any of the chemicals with it. This is one reason Scentsy Warmers and Scentsy Bars are much safer then regular candles.
What kind of wax is used when making Scentsy candle bars?
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 at other waxes, but could not find a good quality vegetable based wax that held the scents. The type of wax we use is safe. No chemicals are released like when burning traditional wicked candles. Scentsy Warmers only warm the scent out of the wax - the wax remains in the warmer, thus no danger of chemicals being released into the home. You will end up with a piece of odorless wax you dispose of and replace with a new Scentsy candle bar. No wick, no match, no flame, no soot, no smoke and no wax evaporation!
What is food-grade petroleum wax?
Scentsy’s food-grade petroleum wax is the same wax they spray on apples in the grocery stores, to give them their shine.
What type of oil does Scentsy use in their candles?
Scentsy uses key fragrance oil, which is the highest grade of oil before processing.
Do I use a whole candle bar at a time?
One Scentsy bar comes in a clamshell with six break apart cubes. Choose your favorite candle bar scent, break off one or two cubes and place in your warmer. Next, turn on your warmer...relax and enjoy. You can add more cubes as time goes on or switch it and enjoy another scent.
How hot does the wax get when warmed?
The wax temperature is very low, just above body temperature. The wax never gets hot enough to burn anyone since we use a low-watt light bulb.
How do I clean the wax out of the warmer?
While the wax is warmed you can pour it out into a disposable container, back into its original container, or simply wipe the warmer with some paper towels. You may also place the warmer lid in the freezer for 5-10 minutes and the wax should easily slide out.
What wattage of light bulb does the warmer use?
A standard 25-watt, small based light bulb. Every new warmer comes with its own light bulb. Our Plug-in warmers use a standard 15-watt nightlight bulb.
