Our all natural bath bombs are free of heavy colorants and will not stain your tub. However, bath bombs contain oils that can make your tub slippery when getting in and out of it. This can be dangerous to you and your kids. To prevent residue build-up, it’s important and recommended that you clean your tub after every use. For added safety, place an anti-slip rubber mat at the bottom of your tub.

Like any product, bath bombs also have a recommended “use by” date before it loses its effectiveness. A newly bought bath bomb fizzes faster than an old one. Hence, it is not recommended that you buy more than you will use. To help make it last longer, store bath bombs in airtight containers or zip lock bags and put them in a cool and dry place. The average shelf life for bath bombs is six months to one year. Beyond the expiry date, though it is still safe for use, the effectiveness won’t be the same. It may not fizz and probably crumble in the water. The scents of the bath bombs may also disappear.

Our recommended burn time is 6/8 hours. Be sure to check the wick before each lighting. Always allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the jars before extinguishing. This will allow the candle to burn evenly and prevent tunneling. Be sure never to leave a candle unattended or in reach of children, pets or a draft. Allow the jar to cool completely before handling.

We choose to work with soy wax for a variety of reasons. We love that it's an 100% renewable resource and carbon neutral. We love that it burns more cleanly - and better yet - for a longer period of time than paraffin. We love the way soy wax smells mixed with a good fragrance. Soy candles are better for the environment and your health: they are non-toxic and burn cleaner than paraffin wax. It produces as much as 90% less soot than paraffin wax. This soot can blacken walls, ceilings, and furniture, contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home, and most importantly, add toxic carcinogens into the air that you breathe.

Our candles and fragrances are considered vegan! We are happy to report that neither we nor our suppliers engage in animal testing.
