    Contact us within 7 days of delivery and include your order number, a brief description of the issue, and clear photos of the damaged item and packaging.
  • How should I care for my wood wick candle?
    Trim the wick before each burn, allow the first burn to create an even melt pool, keep the candle away from drafts and flammable materials, and never leave it unattended. Visit our Candle Care Guide for full instructions.
  • How do I use an intention candle?
    There is no one right way. Light your candle, pause, choose what you want the moment to hold, and allow the scent and atmosphere to support that intention. Visit How to Create Your Ritual for more guidance.
