PRODUCT DISCLAIMER & INFORMATION
It is our goal to provide our customers with unique and fresh products. To accomplish this, many of our items are handcrafted. Some products are made in small batches and natural variations, although minor, may exist. For example, there may be slight color or appearance variations that do not in any way constitute a defect or damage.

As with any skincare product, we recommend that you perform a “skin patch” test before using a new bath or body product, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Place a small amount of product on your inner arm. After several minutes, observe the tested area. If there is evidence of irritation, swelling or redness, rinse thoroughly and discontinue use.

For your safety and enjoyment, please read and follow all product use instructions. Be sure to burn all candles on a heat resistant surface and away from anything that can catch fire.


RETURNS & EXCHANGES
We hope that you are completely happy with your order. If you are not satisfied with your purchase and would like to request a credit/refund/replacement, please e-mail Customer Service within 15 days of receiving your order for a Return Authorization Number. Please be sure to note the order number and the nature of the problem. We will e-mail shipment instructions to you.

Please note the following important items:
  • Only unopened, un-used items in re-saleable condition are accepted for return. All labels and seals must be intact. Products that do not meet these criteria will not be credited/replaced/refunded.

  • Please carefully pack the item, include a copy of the packing slip and return to us via the insured carrier of your choice.

  • We will refund or replace the items only upon receipt.

  • If a refund is requested, the price of the item, plus the sales tax if applicable, will be credited.

  • We are sorry that all shipping and handling fees are non-refundable. This includes the charges incurred as a result of shipping products back to us.
Damaged Shipments
For items damaged due to the shipping carrier, please contact Customer Service promptly. Maintain all original packaging materials intact, as inspection of the package by the carrier may be required to file a claim.
