frequently asked questions
how do you plant a tree with my candle?
we plant a tree with every full sized candle purchase i.e excluding tealights. we have partnered with a company called "veritree" that helps us to plant globally at various times throughout the year. learn more about your planting efforts here.
how are you different from normal candles?
we use all-natural coconut soy wax, which not only burns longer but is also better-for-you as our candles aren't made from toxic paraffin wax. aside from also being women owned, we ship your order 100% plastic free because we want to make a difference to your lifestyle - so you can light up your your fave scents at home, guilt-free!
how do you work to be eco-friendly?
in our candles, we use renewable soy wax, fsc (forestry stewardship council) certified wood wicks (made of post-consumer waste), 100% recyclable cans, recycled stickers and cards are made with 100% post-consumer paper and feature a recycle compatible adhesive.
our sample mailers are made with 100% reclaimed polyethylene liner (from 100% post-consumer recycled content) which is biodegradable.
our boxes are made of recycled content and is recyclable as well!
additionally, our packing peanuts are entirely plant-based and made of organic starch. these fda compliant packing peanuts decompose in water in minutes!
we are constantly working to find ways to improve so if you have suggestions, we are all ears. :)
how do i know i'm safely burning & caring for my candle?
candle care and safety is very important to avoid any accidents, injuries/burns, and fires. please adhere to these rules for all candles, including ours:
always burn your candle within sight. do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time
keep burning candles away from flammable materials, children and pets
do not light on or near any objects that can catch fire, and do not place on or near other heat sources
burn candle on heat resistant surfaces only
do not allow any dust, debris, wick trimmings, or any other materials collect in the wax by keeping your lid on when not in use and removing all wick trimmings from the vessel
do not place your candle in a draft filled area such as a hallway, near a window or by a fireplace
if you have any questions or you're not sure about something, email us at hello@malathebrand.com :)
do you accept refunds?
if you end up not loving the scent, you may return the candle to our warehouse in richmond bc in original condition, once received and evaluated by our team, we will issue you a store credit for malathebrand.com - email us at hello@malathebrand.com to start the refund process.
please note: the customer is responsible for paying for the return postage for any returned items. store credit that is issued at any time does not include shipping, this is the responsibility of the customer.
do you accept returns or exchanges?

oops! i accidentally put in the wrong shipping address.
