Every workplace has one person whose leaving date gets talked about a year in advance. Not a manager necessarily, but the one who knew the system before the system had a name. "The Legend Has Retired" is the only accurate way to put it.

Hand poured in the Signature Kraft jar with 60+ hours of Golden Patchouli. A thirty-year send-off, a final shift, a party the whole floor turns up to: this is the one.

Why You'll Love It

  • "The Legend Has Retired" — four words that do the work of a speech
  • Natural soy wax — plant based, with an even burn and no petroleum wax
  • Phthalate free and non-toxic — vegan, cruelty free and non-GMO
  • Golden Patchouli — patchouli and orange with mango and goji berry behind
  • A 13.5 oz jar and 60+ hours, sized like a real present rather than a gesture
  • Kraft label on reusable glass, understated enough for someone who hates a fuss
  • Hand poured in small batches in Minnetonka, Minnesota — made in the USA

Perfect Gift For

Thirty-year send-offs, final shifts, a whole-department collection, a foreman, a head teacher, a nurse leaving a unit, and the person three generations of new starters were told to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a good gift for someone retiring after thirty years?
A: A long career deserves a gift that names what the person meant rather than what they did. Four honest words beat an engraved clock.

Q: How much should a department spend on a retirement gift?
A: A group collection usually lands between twenty and fifty dollars a head, and the total matters less than everyone getting a chance to sign something. Nobody remembers the price a year later.

Q: Is a candle a good retirement gift for a man?
A: Candles go to men far more often than the category suggests, provided the scent is not floral and the label is not fussy. Patchouli on natural kraft paper is about as neutral as it gets.

Q: Will one candle really scent a whole living room?
A: A 13.5 oz jar reaches an average living room within about twenty minutes and holds it while it burns. In an open-plan space it carries into the next room too.

Q: When is the right moment to hand over a retirement gift?
A: Give it at the party or the last shift, where the person can hear what people say about it. Posting it afterwards into an empty week takes half the point away.

Q: Is the kraft label paper or a sticker?
A: It is a natural kraft paper label on reusable glass, printed rather than stuck on as a decal. It looks like a small-batch product because that is what it is.

    FAQs

    Are your products organic / natural?

    Our products combine the power of naturally occurring and advanced science ingredients that are simple to use, highly effective, non-toxic, non-irritating, and absolutely cruelty-free. We do not use aggressive, irritating ingredients. Beyond this, we do not like labels such as ‘organic,’ ‘natural’ or ‘clean,’ which have no consistent definition and tell you nothing about a product’s safety or efficacy. We are committed to bringing you the very best ingredient science and being certified “organic” does not always yield the best ingredient.

    Do your products contain fragrance?

    Generally not, but with limited exceptions. “Fragrance,” when used in our products like the ANTI-AGING BODY CREAM, is selected for its pleasant scent but also for its proven tolerability. Most fragrances contain allergic substances, or “allergens”: if present, it is compulsory to state this on the label, even if the percentage contained is minimal. Where possible, we tend to use fragrances which do not contain allergens and which should therefore give rise to fewer problems. When fragrance is present in a our product, is indicated in the list of ingredients as PARFUM or FRAGRANCE.

    Is there talc in any of your products?

    The minerals that are used to produce talc can contain asbestos, which is why there are legitimate concerns about its potential effect on our health. The talc used in our ENZYME CLEANSER, BABY BUM CREAM and tinted CLARIFYING SPOT TREATMENTS is NOT made of minerals that contain asbestos and thus is not carcinogenic and completely safe. The talc we use is periodically and consistently reviewed by independent laboratories.

    What is the shelf life of my product?

    All beauty products need to be used by a certain period. This is known as the 'period after opening' and can be easily identified by the PAO symbol. The symbol can be recognised as the shape of an opened jar, and will have a number inside; 9M will indicate 9 months, 12M is 12 months, and 36M is 36 months. Once opened the product should be used in this period, as after this time the quality of the product will deteriorate.
