Sustainability

Our Ethos
Slow Made revolves around environmental sustainability and ethical choices. As a nature inspired brand, living sustainably is extremely important, we are very conscious of our impact on earth.
Our goal is simple - to give you peace of mind while burning our candles in your home and around your loved ones.

Renewable Coconut Wax
Made from renewable sources, that can replenish at a faster rate than many alternatives, even soy. The tree does not have to be cut down only the fruit, leaving the tree to produce more, providing a long-term, reliable supply.
Three ways coconut wax is better
1. Coconuts are not genetically modified (as seen with soy).
2. The deforestation practices linked with palm oil are not associated with the coconut industry.
3. Coconut wax burns slowly and cleanly and throws scent extremely well compared to other waxes.
Plant-based Ingredients
We use all-natural, renewable coconut/soy wax blend for a clean and complete burn. We emphasize being as natural as possible, which means eliminating all known harmful synthetics and replacing them with naturally derived alternatives.
✗ No paraffins or petrochemicals
✗ No phthalates, parabens or sulfates
✗ No carcinogens, toxins, or other hazardous chemicals
✗ No artificial or synthetic fragrance
We adhere to strict RIFM and IFRA standards as well as those on California’s Prop 65 list for safety and purity.

This is done by monitoring, tracking and balancing or removing any CO2 we may release into the atmosphere. This is atno additional coststo our customers as we have decided to cover this to help maintain sustainability through shipping.
