What Kind of Wax Does Scentsy Use in Candle Bars?

In answer to the frequently asked question, “What Kind of Wax does Scentsy use?” the following was response below provided by Scentsy Co-Owner and CEO, Orville Thompson. It first appeared in February 2006, and still holds true today.

Many customers have asked about the wax we [Scentsy] use and why. Here is the scoop.  We use a food-grade petroleum [paraffin] based wax. We chose this wax because of its superior scent loading ability, melt point and firmness.  We looked into vegetable based waxes, and we just couldn’t get a quality candle bar.

The issue of vegetable vs. petroleum [paraffin] waxes is raised primarily by vegetable wax candle makers because of the health risks associated with burning petroleum waxes.  

Most of the scientific research I have read (as opposed to sales literature) suggests that there are plenty of health issues with burning candles of any type of wax. Switching to vegetable based waxes does not seem to reduce the health risks as much as the veggie wax people would like us to believe. The Scentsy solution is simply not to burn the wax. The wax is not burned, and therefore, not released into the air to pollute our lungs, walls and furniture.

The issue of the type of wax we use is a non-issue, with regard to the chemicals released while burning, because we only warm the scent out of the wax – the wax remains in the warmer. If customers have a question about what kind of wax we use, I always ask them why they ask.

This is because any answer other than “˜soy’ or “˜vegetable’ will put off anyone who is predisposed to using to using only vegetable wax, even if the logic explained later is sound. If they respond by saying they only use vegetable wax candles, or are asking out of simple curiosity, you can explain the Scentsy solution and how it is better than burning any kind of wax which put our products in the proper and positive light.

To put it simply, I would rather have petroleum wax in a warmer than a soy wax dispersed into the air of my home. Let wicked candle makers fight over relative safety. With Scentsy we practice “safer scents” – we abstain from wicks.

Now that you have a better understanding of what kind of wax Scentsy uses, and why, pick out your favorite scents here.

How Long Does Scentsy Last?

A FAQ with Scentsy customers and consultants is, “How long does Scentsy last?”

Scentsy 60-80 hoursYou may have heard 60-80 hours, or 8-10 hours per cube, or a couple days, or a week, or 30 days or any other quantifiable number. But guess what? That information is WRONG. That inaccurate information has been floating around for years. It’s been an uphill battle to get the correct information out there.

Sure I could tell you that the scent paks, scent circles, and travel tins last UP TO a certain number of days. I could also tell you that you can make UP TO a million dollars a year with Scentsy. Both are possible, yet not very probable.

The CORRECT answer to the frequently asked question of “How long does Scentsy last?” is:

It Depends.

  • It depends on if you leave it on 24/7 or a few hours each day.
  • It depends what size warmer and what size room.
  • It depends on if you typically warm the same type of scents or if you change it up.
  • It depends on how your nose works.
  • It depends on individual preferences. Some people leave them on 24/7 and swap out every couple of days, others once a week or longer.
  • Some start with a couple of cubes, others a smaller amount, depending again, on individual sense of smell.

It’s not like a wicked candle that you can assign a number of hours because with those, once the wax burns down, it’s done.

What if I told you “It lasts 30 days.“, but because of any of the factors mentioned above, after a week you stopped really smelling it the way you did when you first experienced it?  You’re going to be disappointed or maybe even feel like you were duped, right?

But what if I told you “Some people say a week, others longer.” Then for you, 6 weeks later every time you walked into that room you still smelled it. Great experience and feelings about Scentsy, right?

Now do you see why it’s impossible, unrealistic and unreasonable to give a quantifiable time frame for how long Scentsy lasts?

The best way I heard it described was from Orville Thompson, Scentsy Chief Executive Officer and Co-Owner. He said, “Don’t tell them how long it lasts. Tell them how to use it.”
