Product Care Suggestions

For Best Results

Candle Care

We want our candles to be your favorite candles ever. Quick tip: before lighting, trim your wood wick to about 1/8 inch and flick off any loose bits—that way, you’ll get a beautiful, even flame every time. 

Candle Care – Wood Wick Edition

To enjoy the cleanest burn and longest life from your candle:

1. Trim Before Each Burn – Keep your wood wick about 1/8 inch long before lighting.

2. Clear Away Debris – Gently remove any loose wood or ash from previous burns.

3. First Burn Matters – Allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges (about 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.

4. Burn Safely – Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, and children.

5. Extinguish Properly – Snuff out the flame instead of blowing to minimize smoke.

Following these steps ensures a steady crackle, a beautiful flame, and the perfect mood-setting experience every time.

Body Butter

To get the most nourishment and scent from your body butter:

1. Start with Clean Skin – Apply to freshly washed skin for best absorption.

2. Warm It Up – Scoop a small amount and rub between your palms to melt the butter before applying.

3. A Little Goes a Long Way – Our formula is rich and concentrated, so use sparingly.

4. Target Dry Areas – Focus on elbows, knees, hands, and feet for deep moisture.

5. Store with Care – Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve texture and fragrance.


Enjoy long-lasting hydration and mood-matching fragrance that complements your favorite candle.

Air + Body Mist

Enjoy the refreshing touch of our mists, made with witch hazel, distilled water, vegetable glycerin, and fragrance oil:

1. Shake Before Use – Natural ingredients may separate; a quick shake blends them perfectly.

2. For Body – Lightly mist over skin from 6–8 inches away. Avoid eyes and mouth.

3. For Air – Spray into the air to refresh your space with a burst of fragrance.

4. Layer Your Scent – Pair with our candles or body butters for a longer-lasting mood experience.

5. Store Safely – Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Your skin, your space, your mood—instantly refreshed.
