At Empowering Scents, we are dedicated to hand crafting candles and wax melts with the highest regard for environmental sustainability and consumer well-being. We also handmake most of our jewellery pieces.

That's why we exclusively use 100% natural soy wax in our products. By opting for soy wax, we use natural ingredients that not only provide a clean and long-lasting burn but also help to reduce our ecological footprint. Soy wax is derived from soybean oil, a renewable and biodegradable resource, making it a greener alternative to traditional paraffin wax.

For every order placed, we are committed to planting one mangrove tree in Madagascar for every sale.

This initiative serves two crucial purposes: promoting biodiversity and reducing our carbon footprint as a business. Mangrove trees play a vital role in coastal ecosystems, providing habitats for numerous species and serving as a natural barrier against erosion and storms. Additionally, they are highly effective at sequestering carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Furthermore, for orders exceeding £50, we will plant five mangrove trees, amplifying our efforts to contribute positively to the environment and foster sustainable practices in our business operations.

We are proud to use recycled, biodegradable, and reused materials in our packaging to reduce our environmental impact. By using packaging which can be recycled, we help divert waste from landfills and reduce the demand for new resources. Our biodegradable packaging peanuts ensure that once discarded, they break down naturally, leaving behind minimal environmental harm. Additionally, we embrace the concept of reusability by using reused plastic and paper packaging our suppliers have sent us, further extending their lifecycle and reducing waste. Through these conscientious choices, we strive to contribute to a healthier planet while delivering quality products to our customers.

Here at The Empowering Scents, we are committed to the ongoing journey of becoming a 100% eco-friendly business. As part of this dedication, we are actively exploring sustainable alternatives for every aspect of our operations, including sourcing eco-friendly printer ink and stickers.

Recognising the importance of reducing our environmental footprint, we are busy researching and testing various options to ensure that every component of our products and processes aligns with our sustainability goals. While we are still in the development stages of becoming a 100% eco-friendly business, we are researching around to find the most environmentally responsible solutions available.
