By checking the Terms & Conditions box in your cart, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the following, including other policies linked within. Sections of this document limit Ellis Visual Arts LLC and JESIN's liability and place limits on refunds and/or replacements - please read all sections carefully before ordering:
You are responsible for the accuracy of your shipping address entered at checkout. As we may require signatures for our shipments, you must ship your order to an address where you will be able to accept delivery. Packages returned to us as undeliverable will be refunded, less shipping fees (both directions), credit card processing fees, and a 20% restocking fee of the order product value. For full details, see our refund policy.
Products cannot be shipped to PO boxes. We strongly recommend shipping directly to your home or workplace. By placing an order to a PO box, you accept all risks associated with delivery, and Ellis Visual Arts LLC and JESIN will not be liable for any failed or lost deliveries to PO boxes. In the event that a carrier refuses to issue a shipping label to a PO box, we may contact you for an alternate address. If you are unable to provide an alternate address, your order is subject to our refund policy.
Free or Exclusive Rate Shipping Offers apply to most addresses in Canada and the United States, but may exclude, at our sole discretion, particular jurisdictions, remote addresses, or addresses that do not have regular courier service.
We may, in select circumstances and at our sole discretion, ship a package with a carrier other than the one selected at checkout, especially in cases where a faster shipment option becomes available at the same cost. In these cases, we will ensure that the alternate carrier provides an equivalent or better shipping timeframe to the method selected. Use of a carrier that differs from the one selected at checkout is not grounds for a refund or credit.
Orders are non-refundable once placed. Cancellations are not possible once a product has entered the shipping process and are subject to our return policy. Ellis Visual Arts LLC and JESIN, at our sole discretion, may authorize the cancellation of an unshipped order provided we are able to process the cancellation before it enters the shipping process. Should a cancellation be accepted, cancelled orders are reimbursed in the form of a gift card / store credit. All gift cards are issued in US Dollars. Requests for a cancellation with a refund are subject to our return policy.
Returns are completed on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Ellis Visual Arts LLC wherein the product is unopened, unaltered, and in original condition. If a return is granted by Ellis Visual Arts LLC, you are responsible for all freight/shipping costs including any duties and/or taxes that may be applicable. Products shipped back to us without an authorized return are considered forfeited and will not be refunded. Refunds for authorized returns will be less shipping fees and credit card processing fees. The minimum deduction for shipping on return is $25 per direction in the currency of the order. There is no restocking fee for authorized returns. Please see our refund policy for full details.
Refusing a package at delivery does not constitute an authorized return. When packages are refused at delivery, the carrier charges additional return shipping fees that you will be responsible for. As shipments are often split into multiple boxes, we will examine refused merchandise when it is safely received at our warehouse and issue a refund for the value of the returned merchandise, less shipping fees (both directions), credit card processing fees, and a 20% restocking fee of the order product value. Processing of refused packages may take up to 30 business days. Please see our Refund Policy for full details.
If a product is being offered on a backorder, lengthened shipping timeline, or pre-order basis, the date provided on the product page and/or cart page is an estimated timeline for when the product will be available to ship to you, is not a guarantee, and is subject to change.

It's best to not freeze JESIN / COLORBERRY liquids, pigments and epoxy resin. Where appropriate seasonally, we may include a 72-hour shipping warmer in liquid shipments when possible, however, we strongly recommend that you select a shipping method that allows for a transit time of 2 days (or less) to your location during colder months, keeping in mind that couriers typically do not move packages on weekends and holidays. It is your responsibility to closely follow tracking and delivery status and immediately bring in any packages that couriers may leave outside upon delivery should the weather at your location not be within the storage parameters of the products you are ordering. Please allow your shipment to come to room temperature for 24 hours before use. The packages ship from USA east coast . By ordering while the weather may be cold along the shipping route, you accept all risks associated with freezing. Ellis Visual Arts LLC is not responsible should a shipment be damaged due to freezing. Damage due to freezing is not covered by shipping insurance, except in cases where a package's transit is delayed at the fault of the carrier.
Most orders ship from USA. Orders shipped outside of USA (such as to CANADA) may be subjected to duties and taxes by the destination country's customs authorities. Any duties, taxes, and fees, are the sole responsibility of you, the customer. For more information on customs and duties, please refer to your local/federal customs organization. Typically, online orders to Canada of $800 USD or less are not subject to import fees, though it is your responsibility to confirm your eligibility for this. Packages returned to us due to refusal to pay import fees will be refunded, less shipping fees (both directions), credit card processing fees, and a 20% restocking fee of the order product value. Processing of refused packages may take up to 30 business days.

Introducing
Pouring candles in your DIY JESIN containers
A DIY adventure with soy wax
Pouring candles - doesn't that sound like a wonderfully relaxing and at the same time creative activity? It's no wonder that candle making in unique containers is becoming more and more popular. In a world that is becoming more and more hectic, many people long for a little bit of peace and comfort. And that's exactly what candle making can offer!
Why soy wax instead of paraffin wax?
Before we delve into the magical world of candle making, let's take a look at the material used. Soy wax has replaced the tried and tested paraffin wax in many households in recent years, and for good reasons:
Environmentally friendly: Soy wax is made from soybeans, a renewable resource. In contrast, paraffin wax is extracted from petroleum, which is less environmentally friendly. Better for your health: Burning paraffin wax produces harmful substances such as benzene and toluene. Soy wax, on the other hand, burns cleaner and produces less soot.
Longer burning time: Soy wax has a lower melting temperature, which means the candle burns longer. More candlelight for your money - who can resist that?
Better scent development: Soy wax has the wonderful property of holding scents better and releasing them more evenly, which leads to a more intense and long-lasting scent experience.
The candle-making trend:
Why now?
Why is candle-making so trendy? There are several reasons why people around the world are turning to wax-making and wick-cutting:
Relaxation and stress relief: The process of making the container for your DIY candle yourself is already "addictive". And then there's the process of making the candle: it can be extremely calming. The warmth of the liquid wax, the gentle scent and the steady stirring act like a meditation. A moment of calm in the midst of hectic everyday life.
Creative expression: There are no limits to creativity when making candles. Whether you mix colors with JESIN for your candle container, experiment with scented oils or try out different silicone mold containers - each candle is unique with JESIN and an expression of your creativity.
Personalized gifts: Homemade candles are fantastic gifts. They show that you have taken the time and effort to create something unique. Perfect for birthdays, holidays or simply to make someone happy. Because anyone can buy off the shelf. Now individuality is required!
Sustainability: In a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly important, candle making with environmentally friendly materials such as soy wax is a great way to live more consciously. Likewise, you can refill your cast JESIN container with soy wax again and again! So it's a great "re-fill" option.
Aromatherapy: Scented candles can lift the mood, relax or even promote concentration. The aromas of lavender, citrus fruits or eucalyptus can work small miracles in everyday life.
Now that you know why soy wax is great and why candle making is so trendy, let's get started!
Step-by-step instructions:
Your own soy wax candle in a JESIN container
Pouring with JESIN
1) Mix the JESIN in a suitable cup. Mixing ratio is 2:1, i.e. 2 parts powder and 1 part liquid. But please use weight - and not feel! ;)
2) Now add some color (if you want), such as the LIQU-MENTs, and stir the color in well.
3) Then take your silicone mold and pour the JESIN into it. Don't rush, because you have 20 minutes of processing time. With a little tapping on the edge of the silicone mold or a vibration plate, you can get all the bubbles out.
4) After waiting 20 minutes, you can now take your beautiful, self-made candle cup out of the mold. It now needs about 12-24 hours until the moisture has completely evaporated, only then can you fill it with candle wax.
-> small tip: If you have a silicone mold and you are not sure how much JESIN you need, just fill the mold with water. This amount of water times 2 gives you the amount of JESIN you need. It's that easy!
Pouring with JESIN SOY WAX
Prepare materials:
- JESIN SOY WAX
- Your DIY JESIN container
- JESIN SOY WICKS (candle wicks that are perfectly matched to the JESIN SOY WAX)
- Fragrance oil (optional)
- Dye (optional)
- Stirring sticks
- Craft Sticks with the holes punched (we need this as a wick holder)
- Thermometer
- Double boiler or heat-resistant measuring cup
Preparation:
Place the wick in the middle of the container. Depending on the size of the container, several wicks are suitable. The JESIN SOY WICKS have an average burning radius of 7 cm. This allows you to measure how many wicks you need so that your candle burns beautifully at the end and there are no wax residues on the edge of the container.
Melting wax:
If you want to know how much soy wax your JESIN container needs, fill this container with water again to the desired height of your wax. Ideally, it should always be 0.5 cm below the edge. This amount of water x 0.9 = the gram amount for the amount of soy wax required
Melt the soy wax in the double boiler over medium heat. Stir regularly and keep an eye on the temperature - ideally it should not rise above 85°C.
* (optional) Add fragrance and color:
As soon as the wax has completely melted, you can add fragrance oil and colorant. Stir thoroughly so that everything is evenly distributed.
Pour wax:
Carefully pour the liquid wax into the prepared container. Ideally, your container is at room temperature and has even been on a heater beforehand. You can give the wick(s) some support with a perforated craft sticks.
Let it cool down:
Let the candle cool completely and harden at room temperature. This can take several hours.
Trim the wick:
Cut the wick to about 0.5-1 cm in length to ensure that the candle burns evenly.
Voilà, your homemade soy wax candle is ready! Not only is it a wonderful addition to your home, but it is also a testament to your creativity and attention to detail.
In a world that is often characterized by stress and chaos at times, candle making offers a welcome break. It combines craftsmanship, creativity and relaxation in a wonderful way while also creating a cozy home. So, light your new candle, sit back and enjoy the warm light and calming scent - you deserve it!
