FAQ’s

How long will our Candle Bars last?

  • However some have lasted longer. It depends on the strength of the fragrance.

What kind of wax is used when making our Candle Bars?

  • Many customers have asked about the wax we use and why. We use a food-grade petroleum 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 type of wax we use is a non-issue, with regard to the chemicals released while burning. We 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.

What is food grade petroleum wax?

  • Basically it is the same wax they spray on apples, in the supermarket, to give them their shine

What type of oil do you use in your candles?

  • Key fragrance oil which is the highest grade of oil before processing.

Do I use a whole candle bar at a time?”

  • Candle Bars come in six, break-a-part sections. Choose your favorite candle bar scent, break off one or two sections and place in our warmer. Next turn on your warmer…relax and enjoy. The only thing warming out is the fragrance.

How hot does the wax get when warmed?

  • The wax will get to just above body temperature, so it won’t burn or harm anyone.

How do I clean the wax out of the warmer?

  • While the wax is warmed and melted pour into a disposable container and wipe the warmer with some paper towels or napkins, or place warmer lid in the freezer for 5-10 minimum and the wax should slide out. Then just pop in your favorite scent

What wattage of light bulb does the warmer use?
