FAQ


Are your candles made using essential oils?

Our candles are made using high-quality fragrance oils, many of them which are infused with essential oils. Essential oils are distillations of a flower, root, herb, or resin and as such, certain candle scents would be impossible to create. Therefore, as an alternative, we use high-quality fragrance oils that are phthalate-free to ensure that we are able to create amazing-smelling candles while still ensuring that the oils we use are safe for you.


Do you ship internationally?

Yes, however, for shipping outside of the U.S., please e-mail us with your order and shipping address. We will then send you a Paypal invoice with shipping costs included. This is due to international shipping costs varying greatly and we want to be sure we don't ever overcharge you.


When should I expect my order to ship?

Please note that each candle is hand-poured and made to order. Please allow 3-5 business days to make your candle before it is shipped.
