We're Here To Help!

Product Use & Storage

How long does Lemon Swirl last after opening?

Best used within 10 days of opening. Sip it as your morning ritual, splash it into water, or keep it chilled for a quick citrus pick-me-up. Think: teas, marinades, dressings, cocktails, mocktails, and more!

How long does Lemon Swirl last unopened?

For the freshest flavor, enjoy your Lemon Swirl within 1-2 months of delivery. Thanks to HPP, it can keep up to 3–4 months unopened in the fridge, but the sooner you sip, the brighter it tastes. Make it your daily ritual for peak flavor and those feel-good habit forming vibes! 

What if I still have some liquid left after 10 days?

If it’s only a few days over, drink up, buttercup! It’s also great in cold water, hot tea, cocktails, mocktails, marinades, dressings, and even soup.

If you can’t remember how long it’s been open, simply pour it down the drain and recycle the bottle. The citrus won’t harm your pipes—and might even leave things smelling a bit fresher. We doubt you’ll let it sit that long, though! 

Can I freeze the bottles?

No, they must be kept refrigerated. Lemon Swirls ship frozen for safe travel, but if your bottle arrives a little thawed, just place it in the fridge and let it settle in. Refreezing can affect quality — so sip it chilled and happy.

How should I use Lemon Swirl daily?

Lemon Swirl is meant to be a grounding morning ritual—hydrating, warming, and supportive. Begin with one serving in warm water, then enjoy more throughout the day whenever you want a gentle wellness boost. Visit our recipe page here

What makes The Whole Hope unique?

The Whole Hope is a small-batch, founder-led brand rooted in intention, real ingredients, and deep gratitude. Every product is crafted as a daily ritual — a nourishing, grounding moment in your day, not just something to drink. Made with care for your whole self: body, mind, and spirit. 

Ingredients & Quality

What’s in Lemon Swirl?

Organic lemon juice, cold-pressed ginger, cold-pressed turmeric, and organic honey. That’s it. Real, whole ingredients with no additives or fillers – just simple goodness crafted with care.

Are Lemon Swirls pasteurized?

Lemon Swirls are made safe using HPP (High Pressure Processing), a gentle cold-pressure method that protects flavor without heat or preservatives. It’s our clean, cold way of caring for real ingredients.

Is it vegan / gluten-free / allergen-friendly?

Our products are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. We do use honey, so Lemon Swirl isn’t considered vegan—but it is made with simple, real ingredients you can feel good about.

Is it safe for kids or pregnancy?

Always check with your healthcare provider, but Lemon Swirl is made from familiar, food-based ingredients that are widely consumed. As with any wellness ritual, listen to your body and choose what feels right for you.

Why does the color or flavor vary slightly?

That’s the nature of small-batch, real ingredients. Each harvest has its own personality, so gentle variations in color or flavor are completely natural – and part of the beauty of the craft.

Shipping & Subscription

How do you ship Lemon Swirl?

We ship frozen bottles using recyclable liners and ice packs, all sent through 2-day cold-chain shipping to keep your Lemon Swirl™ bottles safe and chilled on their way to you. Thawing in transit is safe…please put your bottles in the freezer upon arrival!

Do I need to be home when my box arrives?

Ideally, you are home! But if not, know your box will stay insulated for a few hours. Just bring it inside and move the bottles to the fridge as soon as you can! 

What if my bottles arrive thawed?

Thawing is totally normal. Simply place your bottles in the fridge and enjoy once thawed. After opening, sip within 10 days for the freshest experience.

Do you ship everywhere?

We currently ship across the continental U.S., but not to P.O. boxes.

Do you ship to P.O. Boxes, APO, or FPO addresses?

Not yet—though we’re working on it.
Right now, our frozen shipments travel via UPS or FedEx through our fulfillment partner, which means we can’t deliver to P.O. Boxes, APO, or FPO addresses (those require USPS).

We know that’s not ideal for our military and overseas friends, and we’re actively exploring USPS options so we can reach you in the future. If you have access to a U.S. street address (a friend or family member, for example), we’re happy to ship there in the meantime.

Can I pause, skip, or cancel my subscription?

Yes. You’re in full control. Log into your subscriber portal anytime to pause, skip, adjust, or cancel.

How often will I receive shipments?

Your ritual, your rhythm. Choose a one-time order or a recurring subscription every 30, 45, or 60 days.. We recommend every 30 days to reap the benefits of this daily health habit!

Can I update my shipping address or payment info?

Absolutely. Just log into your subscriber portal and update your details anytime.

Refunds & Replacements

What if my order is delayed or damaged?

We want you to be delighted every single time. If your order arrives delayed, damaged, or not quite right, email us at support@thewholehope.com within 7 days of delivery with photos. We’ll do everything we can to make it right!

Do you accept returns?

Because Lemon Swirl is perishable, we’re not able to accept returns. But your experience matters deeply to us – so if something feels off or you’re unhappy with your order, please reach out at support@thewholehope.com. We’re here to help.

Sustainability

Are the bottles recyclable?

Yes. Our PET bottles are fully recyclable – just give them a quick rinse and place them in your recycling bin.

What should I do with the ice packs?

Feel free to reuse or refreeze them. If you’d like to dispose of them, simply drain the gel and recycle the outer material where facilities accept it.

Can I recycle the insulated liners?

- Yes, most curbside programs accept them. Please check with your local recycling provider for further details.

What is The Whole Hope doing to reduce waste?

We’re committed to thoughtful choices – using recyclable and reusable materials whenever we can and continually refining our supply chain to reduce waste and lighten our environmental footprint.
