June 5th marks World Environment Day, a reminder for all of us to reflect on the impact we make and the choices we have to tread more lightly on the planet.

At SevenSeventeen, our mission has always been about creating calm - but never at the planet’s expense. From our wax to our wicks, our diffusers to our delivery boxes, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do...

🕯️ What’s in Our Candles?

We craft our candles using a natural blend of palm-free, sustainably sourced plant-based waxes, including soy and rapeseed. Each one is hand-poured into recycled glass jars and made with clean, gentle ingredients - always free from parabens, sulphates, and harsh chemicals.

We also use natural cotton wicks with paper cores, ensuring a soot-free burn that’s cleaner for the air and kinder to your home.

🌬️ What Makes Our Diffusers Different?

Our reed diffusers are made with a natural, alcohol-free, non-flammable base, meaning fewer VOCs released into your space. We use biodegradable, sustainably sourced rattan reeds - and absolutely no artificial colourings.

It’s a gentler way to scent your space and a cleaner way to do it too.

♻️ Our Everyday Sustainability in Practice

It’s not just what goes into our products that matters - it’s how we make them too. We’re proud to operate with intention across every part of our process:

• ☀️ Solar-powered production premises

• 🌱 Partnerships with suppliers who support tree-planting initiatives

• ♻️ Plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging

• 🌍 Small batch, low-waste production

We’re not perfect but we’re always learning and improving. Thoughtful steps, taken carefully and consistently, add up.

Why It Matters: Today and Every Day

World Environment Day is a prompt, but our commitment to sustainability is ongoing. For us, it’s about making beautiful things without creating unnecessary harm. It’s about recognising that wellness doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s part of something bigger.

So whether you’re lighting a candle for calm or setting out your diffuser to mark the new season, know that it was made with care - for you and for the planet.
