Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about Scentsy. If your question is not listed below please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Q: What kind of wax is used when making Scentsy Bars & Bricks?
A: Scentsy uses a custom, food-grade paraffin wax blend. It is designed for a specific scent-load & melt-point.
Q: What kind of oil does Scentsy use in its products?
A: Key fragrance oil.
Q: How much of a Scentsy Bar do I use at a time?
A: Do not place the entire bar in your Scentsy warmer at one time. One to two sections is sufficient for an average sized room. If using a plug-in Scentsy warmer use 1/2 to one section.
Q: How long will the scent last?
A: One Scentsy bar will last between 60-80 “on” hours. It depends on which scent you have & how often you leave your warmer on. Citrus scents are more on the 60 hour end, followed by vanilla/bakery smells, with musky type scents lasting the longest.
Q: How hot does the wax become?
A: The wax is heated to 125 degrees when used with the correct bulbs, which is the temperature of a typical paraffin wax cosmetic dip. The wax will not burn children or pets.
Q: How do I clean the wax out of my warmer?
A: Turn the Scentsy warmer on to melt the wax. Pour the melted wax into the original container for reuse or, if there is no scent left, into a disposable container to discard. Wipe out the warmer lid with a paper towel. If using a plug-in Scentsy warmer, heat the wax for 2-3 minutes, peel the wax out & wipe with a paper towel. Scentsy spatulas are also available to assist in wax removal.
Q: Where do I get a replacement lightbulb?
A: Scentsy full-size warmers use a 25watt light bulb, mid-size warmers use a 20watt light bulb, & plug-in warmers use a 15watt light bulb. These light bulbs can be found in any home improvement store. If you have a hard time finding them you can purchase them for $1.00 on the website or contact me for my specials on light bulbs.
Q: How much is shipping?
A: Shipping costs are different for the US & Canada, and shipping on all orders over $150 is free. View the Shipping Page to see detailed shipping costs.
Q: Does Scentsy ship to other countries besides the US, it’s territories & Canada?

A: Twice a year…once in the spring (March) and once in the fall (September).
Q: How often does Scentsy discontinue items and why does Scentsy discontinue them?
A: Twice a year before the new spring & fall catalogs are released. Scentsy brings new & refreshing warmer styles & scents to their customers in each new catalog. In order to do this Scentsy must make room by discontinuing some products.
Q: What do I do if my favorite scent was discontinued?
