Mother4Jesus Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hello Everyone, I’m new to the board but not new to candle making/scenting, etc. I am trying to find a less messy alternative for electric wax warmers. I love my warmers but when you have little ones, they can knock them over, etc. Years ago Home Interiors (Another name now) had a scented gel for electric warmers. It was basically a thick lotion. It was great because the scent throw was great and I didn’t have to worry about the kids knocking it over. Clean up was easier too. I am currently trying Smelly jelly but wanted to find something like a salt crystal or Epsom salt that I could scent and toss in my warmers. Any suggestions?? I like to use the scented laundry crystals , what can I use the mimic those?? Thank you for any help. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquis Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Have you tried Scentsy? Their wax is amazing for scent throw and is safe around kids. They also have wall fan diffusers which use fragrance beads for scent! more than happy to help with anything 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Wooden Wick Co has ceramic beads that can be scented and then put in the warmers. I bought some and will be testing them out later this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The easiest thing I have found is simply adding fragrance to salt. You can use any salt, but the solar salt sold in home improvement stores in the water softener salt aisle is prettiest. You can find brands with larger or smaller crystals. add fragrance, optional color and you’re done. they perform double duty too, can use the spent salt in your vacuum to scent the air as you clean. No waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything porous work. Those beads are just unglazed ceramic clay. The color makes me believe either stoneware, or possibly porcelain. As a Potter they seem awfully expensive for what they are, but if they work then AWESOME. you don’t need anything super spendy. One craft show regular in my area colors and scents the big salt tablets for water softeners. She stores and displays in giant Rubbermaid tubs. Customers line up to fill a small, sandwich size plastic bag with whatever scent they want for $5 a pop. By my calculations that is rather profitable.

Keeps the scent throwing! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Elefante-Coarse-Sea-Salt-26-45-oz/49511202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
