Our Eco Journey
In her career as a wine expert our founder, Aleesha Hansel, has been vocal in her mission to make the wine industry more sustainable - both environmentally and socially.
Among other things this led her to launch a campaign about heavy glass bottle weights which was picked up internationally, including in the renowned Washington Post and to become an ambassador for The Fairtrade Foundation.
As such then, when forming Ouverture London it was imperative that this ethos became a core pillar our brand philosophy.
Each ingredient and product has therefore been chosen and sourced with sustainability in mind.
Considered production & packaging
WAX
Crafted from a blend of natural wax which is free from paraffin, palm oil, sulphates, petroleum and phthalates (to name a few) ensuring a clean burn.
WICKS
Our candle wicks are made from cotton and unbleached linen. This means your candle shouldn't smoke or create a large flame. There is no metal in our wicks.
OILS
Ouverture London candles are scented using a blend of essential oils and premium fragrance oils. The essential oils are naturally derived and the fragrance oils are of the highest quality. This blend is to ensure a luxurious product with consistent scent.
HOLDERS
Our brass holders, are designed to be reused, however as a cradle-to-cradle metal it is 100% recyclable without any material loss while using 95% less energy than other materials, like glass. Being lightweight brass also means a smaller carbon footprint than glass when it comes to transportation.
PACKAGING
Our packaging is plastic free and FSC-certified. The colours are created using vegetable ink, which is petroleum-free and ensures that they are fully recyclable.
