A: A Scentsy Bar is a block of scented wax with eight break-apart sections.

A Scentsy uses both synthetic and naturally derived fragrance oils to achieve the highest quality and longest-lasting bar. Synthetic oils are used for several reasons, including:

When it is cost prohibitive to acquire natural oils and would preclude Scentsy from offering particular fragrances without increasing the price for customers.

When using natural oils results in unrestrained use of limited or endangered natural resources.

When it isn’t possible to derive the natural oils from nature. For example, synthetic oil is necessary to reproduce lily of the valley because fragrance cannot be extracted from this flower through typical extraction methods.

A We use a custom, high-quality paraffin wax blend designed to give you long-lasting fragrance and selected for its scent loading ability, melting point and firmness.

A Scentsy Bars do not contain or release harmful phthalates. A small percentage of Scentsy Bar fragrances contain extremely low levels of non-harmful diethyl phthalate (DEP), commonly used in fragrances to help blend ingredients and to make fragrances last longer. DEP is thoroughly tested and is consistently regarded as safe for use in fragrance by several government bodies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the European Union Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP). Scentsy follows all safety standards regulating the use of DEP set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).

A Each fragrance has a different level of scent throw depending on the fragrance oil composition. Factors such as weather, humidity, ventilation systems and elevation may alter scent throw.

Certain fragrance notes can be perceived as stronger than others based on their molecular structure and your sense of smell. For example, citrus notes are top notes and can be considered stronger because your nose smells these notes first. In contrast, musk notes are base notes and are used to create harmony within a fragrance. You can expect citrus-dominant fragrances to be perceived as stronger than musky ones.

Weather and humidity: At higher temperatures, will be more water vapor in the air. When fragrance and water molecules bind together, the water weighs fragrance down, creating less diffusion of the fragrance into the air. When there is less moisture in the air, fragrance has better diffusion and can be perceived as stronger.

Environment: Large rooms, ceiling fans and flooring may affect how scent dissipates, as can open windows and ventilation systems.

A While the wax is melted, pour it out and wipe the dish clean with a Cotton Cleanup pad.

A Scentsy Bars are safer than wicked candles because no flame is required for the wax to melt and release fragrance. Since the wax is warmed and not burned as with traditional candles, no harmful chemicals or pollutants are released into the air. With Scentsy, there is no flame, smoke, soot or lead.
