Custom Order Policy
Every custom order is made just for you, so nothing goes into production until you have approved your scents, labels and samples in writing. This page explains how that works so we both know exactly what to expect.
What counts as a custom order
An order is custom if it includes any of these:
- A new fragrance we source for you because it is not one of our Tested & Approved Scents. We look for a single premade fragrance to match your description. We do not create custom blends.
- Your own product names, labels or branding
- A jar, color or packaging choice made for your order
- Any change to our standard formula you ask for
Our standard catalog products, in any of our Tested & Approved Scents and our standard packaging, are not custom orders. If a tested and approved scent isn't in a product listing yet, we'll add it within 1 business day. Once a new fragrance is approved, it joins our Tested & Approved Scents and is a standard choice from then on.
Before we make your order
Production starts only after all four steps are done:
- Written order. You confirm scents, quantities, jars, labels and price in writing.
- Label proof. We send a proof of every label. You approve it in writing before we print.
- Sample approval. For any new scent, we send a sample in the finished product. You approve each one in writing before we make the full order. Each sample is a full-size candle with a generic label, $13 per scent.
- Invoice accepted. You accept the invoice.
If you choose to skip samples, you will initial a Sample Waiver on your signed agreement. By doing so, you accept the finished product as made to your written order.
Handmade ingredients
- Natural variation. Our lotion candles use natural butters and oils. Their scent and color can vary slightly from batch to batch and supplier to supplier.
- Ingredient changes. If a key ingredient must change before or during your order, we will tell you in writing first and offer a new sample before we continue.
- Discontinued fragrances. Our fragrances come from established suppliers, who sometimes discontinue them. If that happens, we will let you know and offer the closest available match, with a new sample, before your next order.
- Curing. Lotion candles need about 10 days to cure. The fragrance keeps developing during that time, so judge the scent after curing.
- Safety. All fragrances are used at or below IFRA 51 limits for skin contact.
Turnaround, shipping and returns
- Turnaround. About 10 business days after your sample and label approval, or your signed Sample Waiver. Show and market dates may add time, and we will tell you up front.
- Shipping. We ship when temperatures are safe for lotion candles and will tell you if weather delays a shipment.
- No returns or refunds on custom items. Custom products are made only for you and cannot be resold. Once your samples and labels are approved, or your Sample Waiver is signed, they are non-returnable and non-refundable.
