Wholesale & Partnerships
Welcome! If you're a retailer, wellness studio, or hospitality partner considering The Hours Collective candles, this FAQ is designed to answer your questions and guide you through our wholesale program.
We focus on wellness, transparency, and intentional living, so our candles aren’t just decor; they're retail assets.
Wholesale Program Details
Yes. Approved partners receive access to wholesale pricing. Pricing details are provided upon application approval.
We collaborate with businesses aligned with wellness, sustainability, and thoughtful consumption, including:
- Concept stores and boutiques
- Yoga studios, spas, and wellness centers
- Clean beauty and lifestyle retailers
- Specialty or gift shops, stationary stores, and department/home decor stores
- Hotels, boutique resorts, and luxury condos (for curated welcome packages)
We do not allow our products to be sold on third-party marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, or Etsy. We exclusively partner with brick-and-mortar shops and independent online boutiques.
We do not offer white-label services. We are dedicated to selling exclusively under our own label.
If you are a buyer for a national chain, please contact us for additional details.
Product & Ingredients
Yes. Each candle is hand-poured, packaged, and finished in California to ensure consistency and quality.
Every candle contains exactly five ingredients:
- Organic coconut oil
- FSC-certified wood wick
- Three 100% organic essential oils
No synthetic fragrance oils, paraffins, or additives.
Yes. Our candles are non-toxic, 100% vegan, and cruelty-free.
Each candle is packaged in a clear or amber glass jar with a residue-free removable label. Packaging is minimal, recyclable, and shelf-ready.
Production & Fulfillment
Yes. Minimum opening and reorder quantities apply and are outlined in our wholesale line sheet or supply contract.
Because every candle is handcrafted and hand-poured, our lead time is generally 2-4 weeks. During peak seasons, this may extend slightly. We will always provide an estimated shipping date upon receipt of your order.
Wholesale orders are shipped from California. Shipping costs are calculated based on weight and destination and are the responsibility of the retailer.
Currently, we ship within the United States. International wholesale requests are evaluated individually.
Wholesale orders are final. Damaged shipments should be reported within 48 hours with photos, and we will work to resolve the issue promptly.
Strategic Alignment
Retail partners benefit from:
- A high-margin SKU with a long functional lifespan
- Predictable repeat purchases
- Premium branding that aligns with wellness, sustainability, and elevated home aesthetics
We designed our candles as long-term habit anchors, not one-time decor purchases. Customers don't just buy for the aesthetic; they build a ritual around the candle, returning every 100 hours to refill it. This transforms casual browsers into loyal customers.
Retail partners receive:
- Product education and marketing support
- Clear storytelling around our non-toxic 5-ingredient standard and wellness benefits
- Merchandising guidance for shelf placement, sampling, and customer engagement
Our goal is to ensure your staff can confidently explain why our candles are different and why customers will come back for it.
We offer one tester per scent at a 50% discount on your opening order to help your customers experience the aroma before they commit.
