Sustainability
Less impact, from ingredient
to candle glass
For us, sustainability starts with where and how we make our products: our own facility in Tallinn, renewable energy, plant-based materials and ingredients grown close to home.

Sourcing
Botanicals harvested
close to home
Many of our key botanicals are gathered in Estonia and made into products in Estonia.
- Birch sap from Kirbu village in Võrumaa, tapped so the trees keep growing year after year.
- Red algae gathered from Saaremaa's Baltic shoreline.
- Lingonberry and alfalfa from Saaremaa island.
Soap bars
Palm-oil-free soap bars,
made by hand
Palm oil is one of the leading drivers of tropical deforestation. JOIK soap bars are made with a blend of plant oils instead.
Packaging
Packaging that does
more with less
-
Airless pumps
Selected lotions and skincare use airless pumps that help keep formulas fresh and let you use more of the product.
-
Single-material packaging
Where possible we use one material throughout, which is easier to recycle.
-
BPA-free plastics
Where plastic is needed, such as makeup sticks, it is BPA-free.
-
Glass candle vessels
Colored glass made to be kept and reused long after the candle is finished.
We confirm packaging claims product by product. If a product page says its packaging is recyclable or single-material, that has been verified for that product.
Home fragrance
Candles poured from
rapeseed wax
JOIK candles use European rapeseed wax, a plant-based crop wax, with cotton wicks. Diffusers and room sprays use a glycerin base from renewable plant sources. Fragrances are developed with perfume houses in Grasse, France.
- Plant-based wax European rapeseed, biodegradable and vegan.
- Cotton wick for a clean, steady burn.
- Hand-poured in our Tallinn facility.
