Based on this idea, all of my products use natural, recyclable, re-usable or ethically sourced materials and I will always strive to find these as locally as possible. I use 100% natural soy wax, wicks made from cotton and paper and the oils used to produce the scent are a mix of essential oils and high quality fragrance oils which are vegan, paraben & phatalate free. I use glass jars & bottles with a beautiful gold lid which can be easily reused (check my blog out for tips) & they are packaged with recyclable labels and brown card packaging.It is also important to me to give something back. This was part of the plan for the business from day one and from very early on, it was clear who I would like to support. I worked with the Irish Cancer Society a few years ago and I saw the money donated going directly to research and cancer services, making a real difference to patients and families. From our first order, 5% of the profits from the wholesale side of Milis is being donated to the Irish Cancer Society.
