CocoZen Return & Refund Policy

Your satisfaction is important to us. If you are not completely satisfied with your online purchase, we are happy to offer a refund if the return complies with our return policy.

We accept returns for products purchased directly from CocoZen, LLC only. All returned items are subject to inspection upon arrival. To qualify for a refund:

• The product must be in new or gently used condition (no more than 10 millimeters of wax consumed).
• The return must be initiated within 30 days from the date of purchase.
• If your order included a free promotional item, that item must also be returned in new or gently used condition to qualify for a refund.
• Gift order refunds must be issued to the original form of payment—no exceptions.
• If you received a candle as a gift, we only offer exchanges for the same item value. Gift exchanges must be in new condition and unlit.

If a return does not meet these conditions, a refund will not be provided. The item will either be forfeited or sent back at the customer's expense if a prepaid shipping label is provided.

In order to get the most out of your CocoZen candle, please refer to CocoZen's Candle Guide for full details. 

Follow these basic guidelines:

Before Burning:

Trim the Wick to 1/8 Inch Before Each Burn this: 

• Prevents excessive flickering and sooting.
• Helps control the flame size for an even burn.
• Ensure a Level Surface, uneven surfaces cause wax pooling on one side, leading to uneven burns.

Burn in a Draft-Free Environment, avoid fans, air vents, or open windows. Drafts make flames flicker and create uneven melting.

During Burning:

*Burn for 3 to 4 Hours at a Time – This is the key to making your candle last. Think of the wax as the fuel source—if only part of the surface melts, the flame has less fuel to work with, leading to tunneling and wasted wax.

After Burning:

Let the Wax Fully Cool and Harden Before Touching Relighting - This helps stabilize the wick and extends the candle’s life, and prevents burn injuries.Store in a Cool, Dry Place - This prevents wax softening or sweating due to heat. 

Never touch a liquefied candle.
