Store Policies, Shipping and Turn Around Time

Nui Cobalt Designs is cruelty-free. Most of our scents are also Vegan, but will include a note in the product description if we used a component like bee-pollen or such.

Nui Cobalt Collections: We offer monthly seasonal collections of scents, candles and other items. These collections are usually available for 3-4 months. Most collections do return annually, but we occasionally permanently retire a product or entire collection.

You can review our available scent list for descriptions of all current NCD scents.

The yearly rotation is certainly subject to change, but this was 2022:

Jan: Valentines

Feb: Bees

Mar: April Fools (British Baking Show)

Apr: Critters

May: Fae Folk & Otherworldly Beings

Jun: Big Island

Jul: Witches Utility collection

Aug: Autumn I

Sep: Autumn II/Halloween

Oct: Astrology

Nov: Yule

Dec: Geeks and Gamers

Our Cobalt Druid, Continuous Collection, and Archive are available year-round, too.

Continuous Collection: This collection is a special extended time run of some of our most popular scents. Scents may be rotated in/out and some scents may be removed if we have a component issue.

Additionally, the Cobalt Druid line of scents is always available, though we do retire/replace a few scents from it from time to time. Many of our beeswax candles are available year round.

Archive scents - These are scents from previous collections that we don't plan to reblend this year and are only selling what we have poured/stored. While it doesn't mean we'll never reblend or reformulate these scents, they may have a component that the vendor no longer offers. It's probably useful to consider them discontinued, with the slight chance we'll reblend in the future.

Turn Around Time: 7 Days for all orders, excludes customs or pre-order items.
We aim for all orders to be shipped within 7 days. If your order included a pre-order or custom item, turn around may be longer. As a small family business, we can't specifically guarantee an exact turn around time, but always strive to ship as quickly as possible.
