PRODUCT & INGREDIENTS
Are your candles clean?
Our candles are made with a natural soy-blend wax, premium fragrance oils, and cotton wicks — and are always free from parabens, phthalates, and dyes.
Are the fragrances safe?
Yes. Every fragrance we use follows IFRA safety standards when used as directed in candles.
Are your candles hand-poured?
Yes — each candle is poured in small batches in the USA to ensure consistency and quality.
What does "Ritual" mean on my candle?
Each candle includes a simple, optional 30-second grounding moment — a quiet invitation to reset, not a rule or requirement.
BURNING & CARE
How long should I burn my candle?
We recommend burning 2-4 hours at a time. Extinguish once about ¼ of wax remains.
Do I need to trim the wick?
Yes — trim to ¼″ before each burn to reduce soot and ensure an even flame.
Why is my candle tunneling?
First burn matters. Allow the melt pool to reach the edges (usually 3–4 hours) to prevent tunneling.
Are your vessels reusable?
Yes — after the candle is finished, clean out remaining wax and reuse for décor, storage, or plants.

What if my candle arrives damaged?

Do you accept returns?
