Sustainability

MIXMY is committed to supporting the planet as best we can, whether that be in how we produce our products or how we run the business.

MIXMY was founded on a no-waste belief – our aim is to make candles work so much harder; empowering you to adapt and personalise your home fragrance experience, so you never again tire of your home scents, eliminating the need for the candle graveyard – that cupboard where forgotten, half burnt candles end up once you get bored of them – so, ultimately reducing waste.

We encourage the MIXMY team and our wonderful family of customers to refill, reuse and recycle everything they can.

Our products are hand crafted in the UK, and don’t travel far to reach MIXMY headquarters, a farm in the heart of Yorkshire, where Vicky, her family and the small MIXMY team personally pack every single order.

We’re by no means perfect, but as a business, we are continually looking to improve the ways in which we support our planet.

Renewable Sources

MIXMY Primary Candles and Primary Candle Refills are hand-crafted in the UK and are consciously made with 100% natural vegetable wax, sourced from sustainable origins.

REFILL . REUSE . RECYCLE

Refilling is considered the most sustainable option when faced with what to do with used packaging. It limits energy use and raw materials used to make from new every time. So whilst MIXMY’s bespoke glass is completely recyclable, we offer a range of Primary Candle Refills so our beautiful bespoke glass can be reused time and time again.

OUR PACKAGING

Although we recommend you refill or reuse your MIXMY glass container, MIXMY candle glass is 100% recyclable once cleaned.

We believe in responsible forestry, so in addition to our retail cartons being fully recyclable, they have been made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved stock.

Our online mailer boxes, crinkle fill and paper tape are all fully recyclable.

 Our Primary Candle Refills come in packaging we’ve actually grown! We’ve used mycelium – the root-like structure of mushrooms – to grow the packaging that protects our Primary Candle Refills. Mycelium is completely home-compostable and will disappear without a trace within 45 days when exposed to regular moisture.

Scented candles should be burned, not saved for best. This is because the fragrance in scented candles isn’t static - it evolves and degrades over time due to natural processes, even when the candle is not lit, so over time, this leads to a gradual loss of scent intensity.

The beauty of a MIXMY candle is in the experience, not its shelf life… so get burning!

Do you burn or save for best?
When creating MIXMY, combinable fragrances were at the top of my list as I wanted MIXMY fragrances to work all year round. 
So rather than the lighter, fresh fruity and floral notes being mainly limited to the warmer Spring/Summer months; and the heavier spicy and woody notes dominating the Autumn/Winter months; MIXMY fragrances have been created to be used alone and smell incredible, but they can also be paired with each other to create entirely new fragrances, meaning both the lighter and the heavier fragrances can be used year round, and allows you to really personalise and tailor-make your home fragrance experience.

Do you have out-of-season home fragrances sat waiting for their season to come round again?

What’s the most memorable gift you’ve ever received?
Early Spring is the time to open up the garden. Our walled terraced garden is very much an extension of our home, allowing us to throw open the doors and move the entertaining outside.

Power-washing the paving is my love-hate Spring job. I hate doing it, but I love the way it transforms the outdoor space… although it’s not been too bad this year as I did a second power-wash at the end of the Summer.

A few years ago, I had some covers made for the garden furniture and the outdoor kitchen - I was sick of the normal outdoor covers blowing off and not being 100% waterproof, so I had covers made using robust, waterproof yachting fabric, and they’ve been brilliant… but it’s time they’re packed away and the furniture comes out of hibernation. Let the outdoor living commence!
