When will my order ship?
Our fulfillment operates two days/week. Orders placed over the weekend will be shipped on Monday of the following week. Peak seasons & sale periods can cause delays in shipping, but our team works hard to get orders out as quickly as they can. If you have a specific request / need for arrival date please reach out to us hello@wave-maiden.com
How can I track my order?
If you choose a shipping method with tracking you will receive the tracking number via email once your package is dispatched.
My tracking number says my order has been delivered but I am unable to locate it...
We’re sorry to hear this! Our shipping carriers work independently from Wave Maiden to deliver your shipment. If your shipment status reads “delivered” and it's only been a day, we recommend that you give it another day. A carrier may scan the package as delivered before it gets to you. It may be delivered 1 day after you receive the delivery notification. We also recommend your check places where your package may have been safely left for you, and ask your neighbors. If your package doesn’t show up after a day, we recommend that you file a claim with the shipping carrier. If you need help to complete this step, please contact us hello@wave-maiden.com.

Will botanical base actually leave flowers on my board?
Yes! However the look depends on how much wax you apply and how much petal material your specific bar contains. The amount of petals varies from bar to bar - this is the nature of
small batch hand poured product, every one is unique! Every bar does have the same amount of essential oil and it smells ahhhmazing.

Why essential oil blends?
We’ve ditched synthetic fragrance, its generic and bad for your hormone balance. Our EO blends are value add. Each offers an opportunity to connect with the medicine of the Earth and stay inspired to choose products that keep our planet protected.
Our essential oils are ethically sourced (meaning they're the real deal, made with industry best practices, and we never use EO of an endangered plant).
Why am I supposed to smell my wax? And can I eat it?
Do not consume the wax our apply it anywhere other than your board! Safe for boards, not for mouths, eyes, etc.
Yes, please smell it! Engaging your breath with essential oils naturally extracted from flowers,
leaves, fruit, bark, and roots has been shown in studies to have true healing benefits for both physical and emotional concerns. Some of the many benefits of aromatherapy include —
- MANAGING PAIN
- BOOSTING IMMUNITY
- IMPROVING SLEEP QUALITY
- REDUCING STRESS + ANXIETY
- AND MORE!

Eco-friendly printing:Â All screen printing is done with non-toxic water-based ink
The print shop we contract with features water-based, non-toxic printing. Then we ship it using the very best practices we know. See below.
How do you package for shipping?
We love this EARTH oh so much and know you feel the same. That’s why we’ve taken a solutions oriented approach to the little things that get over-looked but can make a big impact.
We use packaging from No Issue that’s plant-based and fully compostable — at home or commercially. We use as little packing material as needed for protection of goods but skip all of the waste that goes along with fancy unboxing. Sorry not sorry.
Avoiding plastic all together and using biodegradable and compostable materials is MUCH more expensive, but we’re
committed.
