Doing this thoughtfully
We're a small business, and we're honest about where we are: we don't have all the answers yet. But we care about getting the fundamentals right, and we're improving as we grow.
Here's where we stand today.
Our wax
We use natural, vegan-friendly wax blends rather than paraffin. Our waxes burn cleaner, last longer and come from renewable plant sources.
Never tested on animals
None of our products, and none of their ingredients, are tested on animals. Our formulations are vegan.
Small-batch production
Making in small batches means we produce what's needed rather than warehousing excess stock. Less waste, fresher fragrance.
Our packaging
We use recyclable packaging wherever we can and avoid unnecessary plastic. Our outer boxes and paper filling are recyclable through household collections in most UK areas.
Reuse your vessels
Our candle vessels are made to outlive the candle. Once the wax is finished, wash the vessel with warm soapy water, remove any wick residue, and reuse it — for brushes, small plants, jewellery, or anything else. If you'd rather recycle, glass and ceramic vessels can go in your household glass recycling once fully cleaned.
UK-based
Making and shipping within the UK keeps our delivery footprint smaller than importing from overseas.
What we're working on
We're currently looking at [ CHECK: pick honestly — e.g. plastic-free tape, refill options, carbon-neutral delivery ]. We'll update this page as things change.
If you have suggestions, we'd genuinely welcome them: info@pivlox.shop
A note on honesty: we won't make claims we can't stand behind. If you ever see something on this page that doesn't add up, please tell us.
