Why the Vellabox is key for conscious consumers
Livening up my living space in sustainable ways is always a goal of mine. Fortunately, one of the most convenient and rewarding ways I achieve this is through a monthly subscription box. The Vellabox that helps me refresh the atmosphere of my home. It contains natural & nontoxic candles made by a variety of small artisan vendors from across the United States.
And that is one reason that these candles stand in contrast with ones you may see at large retail stores or shopping malls. Recently, the commercial producers of candles have been critiqued for degrading indoor air quality. The chemicals, like synthetic dyes or paraffin wax, are at fault. As a consumer, it was alarming and stressful to realize that the items that were the most accessible to me were also the most harmful.
In contrast, Vellabox candles are all-natural. This means that you will receive candles made of waxes that are based on soy, vegetable, or coconut. Importantly, instead of lead wicks they, again, will be a natural ingredient like hemp. Finally, the rich and refreshing scents are created primarily using essential oils.
DOWN TO THE SUSTAINABLE DETAILS: PACKAGING & REUSE
Ranging from $10 to $30 these monthly boxes will help you bring natural goodies into your home. Even better, you will be shopping small! Each month Vellabox feature candles from different small businesses. Depending on the box you subscrube to it will contain 1-2 candles and a suprise gift.
From the start, your candles are carefully packaged in a way that conscious of the environmental impacts of shipping waste. Therefore, you can expect little to no plastic. Instead there will be an exterior cardboard shipping box with the Vellabox inside. In this box will be your candle(s) securely sitting in a resuable canvas pouch.
To limit your ecological footprint, please reuse or recylcle the cardboard and the repurpose the canvas bags. For example, I like to use them for storing small items, like jewelry, while traveling or simply for grocery shopping for produce or bulk foods.
Once your candles burn all the way through don’t forget to wash the jar and see if you can find another way to use it. Like the canvas bags, glass jars are great for storage and can also be decorative – think of storing makeup brushes, bar soap while traveling, or taking your coffee on the go.
