Isla Adie is dedicated to creating high-quality handcrafted candles, soaps, and gifts that are not only luxurious but also environmentally conscious. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing is reflected in everything we do from the materials we use to the way we produce and package our products.

Sustainable Materials and Eco-Friendly Packaging

We understand the importance of reducing our environmental footprint, which is why we carefully select materials that are both eco-friendly and beautiful. Here is how we incorporate sustainability into our product design and packaging:
 

• Handcrafted Soy Wax Candles:

  • Soy Wax: Our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, a renewable and biodegradable material that burns cleaner and lasts longer than traditional paraffin wax. Soy wax is a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based products, helping to support responsible farming practices.

  • Glass Containers: The majority of our candles are poured into glass containers, which are not only elegant but also reusable and recyclable. Once your candle has burned, the glass can be repurposed for refilling, donation, storage, decoration, or even as a small planter, offering a second life to the container and reducing waste.

  • Wooden and Bamboo Lids: We use sustainably sourced wooden and bamboo lids, both of which are renewable and biodegradable. These materials help preserve the fragrance of your candle and offer a natural, stylish touch while being eco-friendly.

  • Tin Containers : For some of our gift candles, we use beautiful tin containers. These tins are reusable, recyclable, and make perfect gifts. After the candle is used, the tin can be repurposed for organizing small items, making them an environmentally friendly choice for gift-giving

 

• Specialty Wax Melts:

  • Decorated Paper Bags: Some of our wax melts are packaged in decorated paper bags that are fully recyclable and biodegradable. This minimal, eco-friendly packaging provides a lovely presentation while reducing plastic waste.

​

• Handcrafted Soap Bars:

  • Decorative Paper Wrap: We wrap our handcrafted soap bars in decorative paper that is both recyclable and biodegradable. This natural, elegant wrapping ensures that each bar is protected without contributing to plastic pollution.

​

• Gift Sets:

  • Wicker Baskets and Shredded Paper: Our gift sets come in beautiful wicker baskets, which are made from sustainable materials and can be reused for a variety of purposes. The baskets are filled with shredded paper that is both biodegradable and recyclable, providing a zero-waste alternative to traditional gift wrap.

​

• Shipping Packaging:

  • Packaging Peanuts: We use biodegradable packing peanuts to ship our products safely. Made from plant-based materials, these packing peanuts break down naturally and do not contribute to the long-term pollution caused by traditional Styrofoam peanuts.

​

 

Ethical Sourcing of Ingredients

We take great care in sourcing our ingredients to ensure they are both high-quality and ethically produced. Here's how we make sure that every ingredient we use aligns with our values:

​​

• Essential Oils: We extract many of our own essential oils and prioritize sourcing oils from suppliers who support ethical practices. We ensure that the essential oils we use are sustainably produced and harvested in ways that support both the environment and local communities.

​

• Locally Sourced Flowers and Seeds: Whenever possible, we source flowers and seeds for our candles and soaps from local nurseries and farms. This not only supports local businesses and farmers but also reduces our carbon footprint by minimizing the distance our ingredients travel. By supporting small-scale, local agriculture, we help foster a more sustainable food and farming system.

​

• Shea Butter: Our handcrafted soaps feature shea butter that is ethically sourced from women's cooperatives in West Africa. By working directly with fair-trade suppliers, we ensure that the women who harvest the shea nuts receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. This partnership helps uplift local communities and provides economic opportunities for women.

Our Commitment to Eco-Friendly Practices

Sustainability is at the heart of everything Isla Adie do. From sourcing raw materials to the way we package and ship our products, we strive to be as eco-friendly as possible:

​​

• Waste Reduction: We are constantly looking for ways to reduce waste in our production processes. We recycle all paper, cardboard, and packaging materials, and we minimize excess packaging to reduce our environmental impact.

• Energy Efficiency: We are committed to reducing our energy consumption by using energy-efficient practices and equipment in our production processes.

• Minimal Waste Packaging: We carefully select packaging that is not only beautiful but also practical and waste-conscious. Our goal is to provide packaging that can be recycled, reused, or composted to keep waste to a minimum.

​

 

Supporting Local Communities and the Planet

Sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns to include supporting the people who make our products possible. Here's how we contribute to positive change in the communities we work with:

​

• Fair Trade and Ethical Partnerships: We prioritize working with suppliers who adhere to fair trade principles, ensuring that the people who produce our raw materials are paid fairly and treated ethically.

​

• Local Community Support: We proudly support local farmers and artisans by sourcing flowers, seeds, and other materials from local businesses, helping to promote economic growth and sustainability in our community.

​

• Environmental Charities: A portion of our profits is donated to environmental organizations dedicated to combating climate change, protecting biodiversity, and promoting sustainable practices globally.
