    Yam-Este!
    Wild Yam Cream made with Organic American Wild Yam Extract

    Powered by herbal extracts, vegetable powders, natural clay and Icelandic sea kelps, this luxurious whipped butter just takes a small amount to get your skin thanking you for using it! There are no added fragrances or perfumes in this blend. There may be scent noticeable from the oils and herbs but it is naturally occurring, not added.

    Wild yam extract is a derived from the root of the (Dioscorea villosa), a twining vine, native to eastern North America, growing wild in the Appalachian Mountains from southern New England to Tennessee. It loves forests and woodlands and grows like mad in the humid "hollers" in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Many people in that region harvest the root and sell it for use in homeopathic products.

    Many Mountain Medicine Granny's believe wild yam is good for all things feminine support. Modern medicine is still researching these claims with mixed results. What they do agree on is that women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid it for general safety reasons.

    While it can be commercially imported at a much lower price from Mexico, Columbia and Asia, we only use wild harvested Yam from the USA.

    I encourage you to do your research to see if she is an herb that could assist you, as I make no medical claims for her powers. The combination of oils, butters, clays and extracts in this potion feel wonderful on stressed out skin though.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I trim and light my wooden wick?

Check out our blog for care and burning tips
www.teresalynns.com/blog

If lighting seems difficult, the wick is too far above the surface of the wax when the candle is initially lit. Always light at the wax level, not the top of the wick.

 Solution: Make sure the wick is trimmed to be no longer than 1/8” – 3/16” / 6.4mm – 4.8mm above the wax. This seems counterintuitive, as we think a longer wick will make a larger flame, but it will not. The longer the wick, the harder it is for the wax to flow up to the top.

Are Soy Candles Safe?

Now let’s talk about wax. Unless you are eating your candles (which you shouldn’t be) you don’t need to worry about them being produced with “Organic Soy wax”. This is good because organic soy wax doesn’t exist.

The process of converting the oil into a wax itself renders the wax ineligible for organic certification. Even if a manufacture used the 5-9% of soybeans grown in the USA that are Organic Bean, the process itself makes them not organic.
Should you worry about this? The simple answer is no, soy wax is safe. You should worry about a company that claims their soy candles are organic. We use wax made with only Renewable Midwest Grown Soybeans.

We use only phthalate free fragrance oils and essential oil blends in our products.

Return to Sender packages

Packages received back to us as RTS (Return to Sender) may be resent at your request by purchasing a postage listing customized for your parcel with a verified address.

We are not responsible for invalid addresses, forwarded mail or refused parcels and will not refund or pay return shipping.

Return postage will be calculated at our actual cost, not the discounted rate of $10.00 we offer on original purchases.

We will contact you via messages with a link to the shipping listing which will be active for 100 days.

After the 100 day period the listing will expire and the parcel contents will be donated to a local charity when appropriate.

How long do our candles burn?

The burn time for our candles varies based different variables, such as wax type. wick size, fragrance and type of vessel used. As a general average, they burn an average 7-9 hours per ounce of wax.
Following our candle care and instruction guide will give you the best burn from each candle. Be sure to read and follow your candle care card included with your order.

Please keep in mind, the cost to return your item will likely be more than your discounted original shipping cost. We always suggest gifting your item to save yourself the shipping cost.

ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES
Are scented candles and skincare products triggers for asthma or allergies?
Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.

    Average:

    fast shipping. had higher expectations. was excited for the yam scent. will continue to try it but the smell is a bit repelling, smells like baby soap. texture is more lotiony than shea buttery. all the other products lids weren't closed tightly. I love to support small business but packaging was kind of sloppy. overall disappointed in the fragrance but worth the price as a tester


    Best cream yet! Love it!


    Smells fantastic, so subtle and refreshing, and beautifully packaged! I will be back for more 😊


    You can tell this product is made with care and crafted with intention. I love the texture and couldn't wait to try it out when it arrived. I love being able to support small businesses (especially a fellow Hoosier). I especially appreciate the cute packaging and extras in my shipment. Thank you! ˖°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・
