Cherish, Mardi Gras Indians / Oak Moss Scent: Candles for Good
This light, refreshing Oak Moss Sandalwood Scent raises funds for supporting some of New Orleans' most cherished cultural traditions: Mardi Gras Indians, Baby Dolls, Skull and bone gangs, and Jazz funerals.
10% of proceeds are donated to the Backstreet Cultural Museum, who are dedicated to protecting and perpetuating New Orleans' unique culture. As New Orleans has become a more expensive place to live, many of the people that make our city what it is have found it more and more difficult to afford living here thus endangering its unique culture.
This lovely scent reminds me of the breezes and the scents you notice while walking the streets of New Orleans - breezy Oak Moss with a little woodsy hint in there too.
Our 12 oz. candles are hand-poured into recycled glass jars and made of eco coconut soy wax. They have a 60-hour burn time.
The candle's label is made of 100% recycled paper and designed to be easily removed in order for the recycled glass jars to easily be reused once the candles have burned away. Just pull up the sticker on the side of the jar & voila!
Dimensions: 5" Height, 3" Diameter
Care Instructions: Please burn candles for at least one hour for the first lighting in order to maintain a consistent and even burn for the life of the candle. Before re-lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" length. This helps with clean burning & longevity of the candle.

**Invoices are not included with packages due to many orders being sent as gifts, however you will receive an email receipt in your order notification email.
**Orders sent First class USPS don't automatically include insurance. Insurance is required in order to replace orders that have gone missing during shipment (a thankfully unusual occurrence). Priority USPS, UPS, or FedEx orders do include insurance for the value of your order. USPS claims can be filed here, FedEx here, & UPS here. Heads up that FedEx & UPS claims are far easier to submit and to actually receive payment for damaged/lost goods.
**Returns/exchanges - Unfortunately these are not possible due to the hygienic nature of the soaps and body care products. Made to order items are also not possible to return or exchange. For the rest of our items, if items are not damaged, an exchange is possible within 14 days of purchase with proof of purchase. As a small business, we are not able to pay for return shipping.
**Shipping Internationally: We are happy to ship to you wherever you are in the world! Just select your country from the list and when shipped via USPS, estimate 7-15 days for arrival. If shipping via USPS, tracking and insurance are sometimes unavailable, so we are not able to guarantee your package against being lost or stolen. (We haven't had any issues to date, knock on wood.)
**We frequently use upcycled shipping boxes & protective shipping materials, including bubble wrap, compostable shipping peanuts, & recyclable air pockets.
**Sales or discounts do not include gift sets, books, first aid kits, or Little Sun Products.
**Glycerin Soap - High quality glycerin soap naturally attracts moisture from the air. If your soap has a little of the protective waxed shipping tissue stuck, give your Bird or Bar an initial wash, this is completely normal for a handmade soap. The BirdSoaps are carefully wrapped in 100% recycled tissue paper to protect their shape during shipping.
