FAQs

  • Our massage candles are crafted with skin-safe botanicals and shea butter. Simply light the candle for 15–20 minutes, blow it out, and pour the warm, liquid oil directly onto your skin.

  • Each tonic is in a single-use bag to keep the ingredients contained and mess-free during your experience. However, while the tonic is single-use, the bag is designed to be kept. We invite you to repurpose it as a small vessel for your own home rituals. Rituals not waste.

  • You can find our full collection online 24/7.

    However, we love meeting you in person! Throughout the year, we pop up at select curated markets. These are our favourite moments to share our scents and textures with you in real life. To find out where we’ll be landing next, join our mailing list.
