Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products made with clean and safe ingredients?
Absolutely. Every Melanated Stardust product—from our clean-burning candles to our room sprays and body care—is crafted with non-toxic, phthalate-free ingredients that vibe with your energy, not against your well-being. We’re big on keeping your space, body, and peace of mind safe, intentional, and elevated.
Where are your products made?
Every product is hand-poured, crafted, and packaged with care right here in the U.S.—specifically in Chicago, the city that raised us and inspires our roots. We keep things small-batched on purpose, so every item feels intentional, fresh, and full of care.
Are your products gender-neutral?
100%. Our scents, packaging, and formulations are made for everyone. We don’t believe in boxing people in—just helping you find what makes you feel grounded, present, and more like yourself.
Do you offer gift sets or custom gifting options?
Yes—whether it’s for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, housewarming, or just because, we’ve got you. Our curated gift sets come with a themed greeting card featuring a signature message from Melanated Stardust. You can stick with our message or personalize it with your own during checkout—either way, your gift will land with heart.
Are your scents strong? Do they last?
Yes—and yes. Our fragrance blends are designed to linger without overpowering. Whether you’re lighting a candle, misting a room, or layering body care, the scent payoff is rich, balanced, and built to hold space without taking over the room.
How long do your candles burn?
Our candles are built for slow moments and lasting vibes. Depending on the size, you’ll get anywhere from 35 to 80+ hours of burn time. For the smoothest experience, check the bottom of your candle vessel for easy care and safety tips—it’s all there, no extra card needed.
Can I use your body care products on sensitive skin?
We use gentle, skin-loving ingredients that prioritize nourishment over harsh additives—but because every body is different, we recommend doing a patch test first. Reviewing the full ingredient list helps you make informed choices for your skin’s unique needs, and we keep those details transparent, clear, and easy to find.
How should I store my products?
Keep your candles, sprays, and body care in a cool, dry space—away from direct sunlight or heat. It’s all about preserving the integrity of the ingredients so every experience stays as luxe and fresh as the first one.
Can I reuse or recycle your packaging?
Absolutely. All of our packaging is recyclable—and intentionally chosen with the planet in mind. Our boxes and wrapping paper are made from recycled materials, our tape is crafted from eco-friendly kraft paper, and even our packing peanuts are plant-based (yep, they dissolve in water like magic). Every unboxing is designed to feel good, look good, and do good—no guilt, just vibes.
What is the “Repurpose Your Stardust™” campaign?
It’s our way of honoring the Earth while adding beauty to your space. We encourage you to reuse your candle jars as planters, storage containers, or whatever feels intentional to you. As for your empty OmniSprays™, we recommend recycling them to keep the vibe clean and sustainable. Little choices, big impact.
How often do you restock or drop new products?
We believe in quality over quantity, so we restock intentionally and release new items in small, curated drops. Want first dibs? Join The Stardust Collective™ to get early access, exclusive perks, and behind-the-scenes updates.
