Abstract: The present invention discloses a liner made to fit and have direct contact within the warming dish of a wax warmer to serve the purpose of receiving, melting, cooling, remolding, removing, storing, re-using and safely discarding scented wax. The wax may be removed from the liner by method of flexibly release the cooled wax from its edges and base. The emptied liner may then be reused, disposed or recycled. The present invention is shaped to fill a variety of wax warmer designs, as well as for structural stability for multiple uses or branding purposes. Such contours on the sides and bottom of the liner help prevent the formation of condensation or vacuum forming, which can hinder both the removal and release of the liner from the receiving portion of a wax warmer or warming platform and aid in the removal of the solidly formed wax from within the liner itself.
