Frequently asked questions

What makes your candles and home fragrances “clean”?

We use only high-quality, non-toxic ingredients. Our candles are made with a natural coconut wax blend and scented with phthalate-free fragrance oils. You won’t find any parabens, toxins, or harmful additives—just safe, luxurious scents you can feel good about bringing into your home.

Are your products safe to use around kids and pets?

Yes! All of our products are crafted with clean ingredients and without harmful chemicals. As always, candles should be burned responsibly—never leave them unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets.

What’s the best way to care for my candle?

For the best burn:

  • Trim your wick to ¼" before each burn.

  • Allow the wax to melt fully across the top (usually 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.

  • Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

How long do your candles last?

Burn time depends on the size:

  • 8 oz candles burn for approx. 40–45 hours

  • 13 oz candles burn for approx. 60–65 hours

Can I reuse the candle jars?

Absolutely! Once your candle is finished, wipe out any remaining wax and clean the jar with warm soapy water. They’re perfect for storing small items, propagating plants, or adding a cozy touch to a shelf.

If you’d rather not reuse it yourself, we’re happy to take it back. Return any clean, empty candle jar to us and we’ll recycle it responsibly — plus, you’ll receive 10% off your next order as a thank-you. Just contact us or include the jar with your next local pickup or return shipment.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes! We ship across the U.S. If you’re local to Idaho, you can also shop our products in person at several small businesses—check our Shop Local page for details.

How long does shipping take?

Orders typically ship within 2–3 business days. During peak seasons or special launches, please allow a bit of extra time. You’ll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way.

Do you offer gift options?

Yes! Our candles make perfect gifts. You can add a gift note at checkout, and we’ll include a handwritten card with your message. We also offer curated gift bundles throughout the year—keep an eye on our seasonal collections!
