There's what in my candles?!

  Hi folks. I just wanted to share a few more reasons why I love Scentsy so much....aside from just the fabulous scents.

A Scentsy Bar is a small block of fragrant wax that comes in eight break-apart sections. Using a high-quality, custom paraffin wax blend selected for its superior scent loading capability; melting point and firmness, Scentsy Bars produce some of the most vibrant fragrances possible.
  The type of wax used allows Scentsy Bars to hold more fragrance oils, resulting in a better fragrance “throw.” The amount of fragrance load for Scentsy wickless candles is about 15% oil compared with 5% for regular wicked candles. Additionally, Scentsy Bars are safer than wicked candles because no flame is required for the wax to melt or to release the fragrance. It's just a simple system. No smoke, no soot, no flame. Just pure goodness!

  Burning candles or incense can create soot. Any soot can be damaging to the environment.  Soot is created from the impure carbon particles that are left after the incomplete combustion of the wax. This soot can gather on furniture, carpets, walls and it can be inhaled. Soot is made up of very fine particles and when inhaled they penetrate into the deepest part of the lungs. This means that the particles cannot be easily discharged.
  The amount of soot generated when burning a candle will depend on how cleanly the candle burns. This will depend on the length of the wick, disturbance to the flame such as from a draught, and any scent that may have been added. Paraffin wax candles tend to produce more soot than natural wax candles.

  Trace amounts of chemical pollutants are emitted when paraffin wax burns. The amount of pollutants will depend on any scent or colour that may be added to the wax. Emissions can include acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, acrolein, naphthalene, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs) such as benzo (a) pyrene, dioxins and furans. One study shows that by burning several candles at once, the emissions result in levels of acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and acroletin that exceed United States recommended levels and present a cancer risk.
  With Scentsy, we warm our wax, not burn it. It's safe to smell and won't burn you if you touch it. It's safe for the kids, pets and you. Practice safe scents people! https://nikkicaposello.scentsy.us
