Frequently asked

How long does each candle burn?
Roughly 25 hours for the 4oz, 50 for the 8oz and 75 for the 12oz. Exact burn time varies with draughts and how long you burn it each time.
Why does my candle tunnel down the middle?
Almost always the first burn. Wax has a memory: let it melt all the way to the edge of the jar the first time — usually two to three hours — and it will burn evenly for the rest of its life. Cut that first burn short and it will tunnel forever after.
How should I trim the wick?
To about 5mm before every burn, once the wax has set. An untrimmed wick mushrooms, smokes and leaves soot on the glass.
Is coconut soy wax better than soy?
For fragrance, yes. Coconut wax has a lower melt point, so it releases scent at a lower temperature and burns more slowly. We blend it with soy so the wax keeps its structure and the surface stays smooth.
Are your candles vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. No beeswax, no animal products, and nothing tested on animals.
Can I reuse the jar?
Please do. Put the empty jar in the freezer for a few hours and the last of the wax lifts out in one piece. Wash it with warm soapy water and it makes a good tumbler or brush pot.

Shipping

PLACEHOLDER — confirm before launch. Orders are packed within 2–3 business days. Candles are wrapped and boxed with recycled material.

Standard shipping is a flat $6.50, and free on orders over $75. Delivery usually takes 3–5 business days once shipped.

In hot months we may hold an order a day or two to avoid shipping over a weekend — wax softens in a hot delivery van.

Returns

PLACEHOLDER — confirm before launch. Unused candles can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Send a note first and we'll sort it out.

If a candle arrives broken, send a photo and we'll replace it — no need to return anything.

Scent is personal. If one really isn't for you, tell us why; that feedback is genuinely useful and we'll make it right.
