Oregon-based Dani Bath has added new ECO products to its popular line of candles and diffusers. The new products debuted last month and feature a number of eco-friendly characteristics including packaging made from NatureWorks PLA.
The new ECO pure soy candles feature cotton wicks and use 100% biodegradable soot free soy wax. The candle's come in a small attractive glass container with a recyclable aluminum lid. After the candle is spent, the glass container can be cleaned with soap and water and reused as a glass, vase or simply recycled.
The food grade soy wax used in the candles is made from US soybeans and is pesticide & herbicide free. The candles are 100% biodegradable containing to paraffin, petroleum or genetically modified materials.
The ECO natural reed diffuser oil also comes in a glass container and offers consumers a safe alternative to incense sticks. The diffuser oil comes with natural reeds in the package and will distribute all natural fragrance throughout a room.
Both categories of ECO products come in newly designed packaging made from NatureWorks PLA. The packaging features a nice clear matte type finish and attractive minimal graphic design. The colors of the container designs in both lines of products match the fragrance used: clover (green), sandalwood (brown), lemon (yellow), rose (red), currant (purple), and fresh fir (silver). Like other PLA products the packaging will compost in a commercial facility.
We found the products and packaging to be well done and of high quality. Many candle products are being sold loose with no packaging including candles in glass jars. While the lack of packaging seems like an environmental plus, these products they are often wrapped in multiple plastic bags or other packaging at checkout in order to product them. Dani choose to use PLA packaging which serves the very functional purpose of protecting the product in addition to providing branding/marketing opportunities for the company.
Dani ECO products are sold through a variety of retail gift and boutique shops and are also available directly from Dani through their web site.
