FAQ

Questions, answered.

Every candle and wax melt is poured with natural coconut-soy wax, by hand, in small batches in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Our 7 oz tins burn for about 40 hours and our 12 oz ceramic tumblers for about 60 hours. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each light and let the first burn melt all the way to the edge to get every hour out of it.

The 7 oz candle comes in a silver tin with a lid, which makes it easy to travel with or tuck into a gift. The 12 oz candle is poured into a ceramic tumbler you can clean out and reuse once the wax is gone.

Pop one or two cubes out of the clamshell, set them in the dish of a wax warmer, and switch it on. When the scent fades, empty the warm wax onto a paper towel and add fresh cubes. As with any warmer, never leave it running unattended.

Orders of $60 or more ship free. Below that, shipping is a flat $6.50. Every order is hand-packed and usually ships within 1–3 business days.
