What is
Scentsy? Why is it a better alternative
for making your home smell good!
1. Wax melts are safer than scented candles
A lot of scented candles available have harmful chemicals in
them. Elements such as lead, phthalates, and formaldehyde. Those
things are released into your air and left on your walls along with the black
soot from the burning wick.
Scented candles can be toxic, Scentsy bars are
not.
Scentsy warmers only warm the
scent out of the wax, the wax remains in the warmer, thus there
is no danger of chemicals being released into the home. Bars are made up of
food-grade wax and fragrant oil. The wax is just the carrier for the
scent. The Bar melts and the scented oil releases fragrance into the air.
And let's not forget about the fact that with a candle you have
an open flame going in your home. Probably resting either on a flammable
surface or right next to one. A candle
flame is around 1000 degrees in temperature! A Scentsy warmer melts wax
to around 120 degrees.
2. Wax melts last longer than scented candles
per ounce
That small Scentsy Bar is going to provide more fragrance time
than a candle per ounce. A 16 ounce jar, which really only has 12 ounces
of wax inside, could be expected to burn anywhere up to 84 hours. While a 3.2
ounce Scentsy Bar can produce amazing scent for up to 60 hours. Let's do a
little math here, shall we?
Scentsy Bar: 60 hours / 3.2 oz = 18.75 hours fragrant time per
ounce and a cost of $0.10 / hour
Jar Candle: 84 hours / 12 oz = 7 hours fragrant time per ounce
and a cost of $0.30 / hour
You can reuse your Scentsy Bar wax melts. Yep, as long as your
still smell fragrance you can pour your wax back into the Bar container. It
will harden and be ready for use again when you are. A candle is just one
scent. You are stuck with that one scent until the candle is finished.
3. Wax melts offer more control
over the scent than candles
Not everyone’s nose loves a whole lotta smell. You can control the amount of scent released by
using Scentsy over a jar candle. With
wax melts you can control the scent load in your space. With a Scentsy
bar you can pop in one cube and have a strong fragrance or you can cut it in
half to reduce the intensity. You decide how much scent you want in the air of
your home. With a jar candle, you get what you get. There's no dialing the
strength up of down.
Maybe you haven't found your perfect, signature scent because it
doesn't exist...yet. With wax melts you can combine fragrances to make your
custom flavor. Mix up a couple scents and voila, you just mixed scents to your
preference. There are a lot of Scentsy recipes to make completely new scents. Can’t
do that with a jar candle now can you?
Are wax melts stronger than scented candles?
Scentsy bars are made of a proprietary, food-grade, wax that is
very soft. This soft wax blend was chosen for it's superior scent loading
capabilities. A lot of fragrance oil is fitted into that little Scentsy Bar.
A jar candle is made of a much denser and harder wax blend. Candle
wax is only able to hold so much oil before the oil starts to seep out and
pool; which can create a serious safety issue as the entire candle -not
just the wick- becomes flammable.
4. Wax melts are cheaper than scented candles
Would you rather have a highly-fragrant Scentsy Bar for $6 or a
good quality jar candle for $25? We did a little math up above and found
that, ounce per ounce, Scentsy wax is 66% less expensive and of a higher
quality. $0.10 per hour with Scentsy vs. $0.30 per hour with a jar
candle.
Scentsy Bars and Warmers are safe, less expensive, have a high
scent load, reusable, non-toxic, and customizable. You can leave your warmer
going 24 hours / 7 days per week if you would like with absolutely no issues.
It's UL - listed as a lamp, after all. Unless you want to risk burning your
house down, you can’t you leave your candle burning all the 24/7.
Bonus benefit of using wax melts: Wax melts
are environmentally friendly!
Scentsy Bars arrive to you in a compact, recyclable plastic
"clam-shell." These containers are thick enough to protect you
wax melts, but thin enough to keep the plastic used to a minimum. The wax
slides cleanly out of the container with nothing left behind. Those clam shells
can be tossed in the recycle bin, just like your disposable water bottle.
If you want to recycle that glass jar candle once you’re done,
you’ll have to get all of the remaining unburned wax out first. Using a knife to break up the hard wax. Imagine going through the small opening &
trying to chip away the hard wax. Good luck and don’t break the glass or you
may cut yourself.
Scentsy warmers are the best made warmers on the market.
They come to you with a Lifetime Warranty against mechanical defect. When you
take proper care of your warmer, you will have a warmer for life. Or until you
see the next must-have warmer available.
