cosmetic flaws + scent throw

bumps, funny surface texture, condesation or cracking?
these imperfections are all common when using
natural soy wax
with no additives

your candle is still perfectly fine
to go ahead + burn



discolouration?
some candles discolour after being exposed
to uv lighting from being stored
incorrectly

this is merely a cosmetic issue
+ is still okay to burn

wick build-up or ‘mushrooming’
is a common feature of natural cotton wicks
please ensure to trim your wick
after each burn

candle not burning evenly?
if your wick is no longer centre, or has a lean,
use a long pointed metal object to help
re-centre your wick

scent too strong or not strong enough?
scent throw is a subjective topic
therefore we cannot accept refund or exchange
requests over this matter

bath + body products

with our beauty products,
the same cosmetic factors may apply
as we use all natural ingredients with
no additives
or perservatives

your local climate also plays a big part
in the consistency of these products

you may find your face or lip balms
may be too ‘hard’ or too ‘soft’
because you live in a colder or warmer area


always be sure to read the instructions
on how to store + use your beauty products



soap has cracking, soda ash, small holes or discoloration?
these are all common impefections when
handmaking soap
your soap is still perfectly fine to use


please know that we inspect each and every piece
+ keep whatever is not of our standard for our own
personal use at home
