Artisan Gypsum Whale Candle | Hand-Poured Soy Wax with Dual Wicks & Ocean Decor
Details
Transform your space into a peaceful coastal retreat with our signature Gypsum Whale Candle. This isn’t just a candle; it’s a handcrafted piece of sculpture. The unique, stone-like texture of the gypsum whale paired with 100% natural soy wax creates a mesmerizing aesthetic that adds a touch of nautical wonder to any room.
The Forever Vessel: The "Wave" continues long after the "Wick" is gone. Once your candle has finished burning, simply wash the gypsum whale with warm water. It transitions perfectly into a minimalist jewelry holder, a key tray, or a small cachepot for your favorite succulents.

- Dual-Wick Glow: Featuring two cotton wicks for an even, clean melt and a more impactful scent throw.
- Eco-Friendly & Vegan: Made with 100% natural soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and sustainable materials.
- Versatile Decor: At 7.5 inches long, it’s a striking centerpiece for coffee tables, shelves, or bathroom vanities.

Candle Care & Safety
- The First Burn: Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface to prevent "tunneling."
- Trim Your Wicks: Always trim both wicks to 1/4" before lighting for a clean, soot-free burn.
- Repurpose: Once 1/2" of wax remains, discontinue use, wash with warm soapy water, and enjoy your new gypsum decor!
- Safety: Place on a heat-resistant surface. Keep away from drafts, pets, and children.

3. Delivery Estimates

4. The "Summer Melt" Policy
Soy wax is natural and has a lower melting point than paraffin. During hot summer months, soy candles can "sweat" or soften if left in a hot mailbox or on a porch for too long.
- Pro Tip: Please try to retrieve your package as soon as it arrives.
- If your candle feels soft, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before lighting. This is a natural characteristic of eco-friendly wax and does not affect the scent or quality!
5. Tracking Your Magic
The moment your candles are on their way, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can track the order directly from the carrier's website.

5. Scent Disclaimer
Choosing scents online can be tricky! While we do our best to describe our fragrances accurately, everyone’s nose is a little different. We do not offer refunds if you simply don't "like" the scent after the candle has been lit.
- Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, start with our 4 oz jars before committing to a larger centerpiece!
