🌿 Ethics & Sustainability at KaySea HandMade
At KaySea HandMade, I believe beauty and sustainability should go hand-in-hand. I am committed to offering products that are not only high-quality and luxurious but also ethically sourced and eco-friendly. By carefully selecting my materials from trusted, sustainable suppliers, I ensure that each of my creations supports both environmental well-being and ethical practices.
♻️ My Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do. I handcraft each product with care, using the finest materials available while remaining mindful of their impact on the planet. When you choose KaySea HandMade, you’re supporting a business that values quality craftsmanship, clean ingredients, and sustainable practices.
Fragrance Oils: Ethical & Sustainable Scents
I selected certain fragrance oils for their high quality and commitment to ethical sourcing. These oils are crafted with care to ensure they are both aromatic and safe for the environment.
Sustainable Sourcing: The fragrance oils I use are derived from plants and materials that are grown and harvested sustainably.
Phthalate-Free: I choose fragrance oils that are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a safe and non-toxic experience.
Cruelty-Free: I ensure that all fragrance oils are cruelty-free, meaning no animals are harmed in their creation.
Candles: Clean, Conscious, and Thoughtfully Crafted
Beeswax Coco Crème Wax: Natural & Eco-Friendly
I use Beeswax Coco Crème Wax in my candles—a blend of ethically sourced beeswax, coconut, soy, and palm waxes. This luxurious wax blend offers a clean and long-lasting burn while supporting eco-friendly beekeeping and renewable resource practices.
Non-toxic & Clean Burn: Beeswax is a natural, renewable resource that purifies the air and burns without toxins.
Sustainably Sourced: I source my wax from a trusted supplier committed to ethical, environmentally responsible harvesting.
Wick Choices: Sustainable and Purposeful
Every candle is wicked with intention using either wooden or bamboo wicks—each chosen for their sustainable sourcing and unique benefits.
Wooden Wicks: I use FSC-certified wooden wicks that produce a soft, crackling ambiance and a horizontal flame. They are engineered for a clean burn, optimal scent throw, and minimal soot or mushrooming.
Bamboo Wicks: Sleek and whisper-quiet, bamboo wicks are a sustainable alternative that burn slower and cleaner. Reinforced with cotton, they provide a smooth, steady flame with low smoke. Crafted from 100% natural bamboo pulp and fiber. They're Oeko-Tex® certified and developed in accordance with the RAL Candle Quality Mark.
Each wick is chosen to complement the candle’s fragrance and size, giving you a clean, beautiful burn every time.
Room Sprays: Fresh Scents with Natural Ingredients
I carefully craft each of my room sprays to refresh your space with a clean, natural scent. My room sprays use a simple yet effective combination of ingredients that not only deliver a pleasant fragrance but are also safe for your home and the environment.
Luxury Perfumers Alcohol: I use Luxury Perfumers Alcohol as the base for my room sprays. This alcohol is a high-quality, non-toxic solution that helps to evenly disperse the fragrance, allowing the scent to linger in the air for longer. The spray dries quickly without leaving residue or stickiness. The alcohol is carefully chosen to provide a safe and pleasant experience without introducing harmful chemicals.
Natural Glycerin: Natural Glycerin is included in my room sprays to help smooth out the fragrance and ensure the product is gentle on the skin. It also acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in the air, which can be especially beneficial for creating a more pleasant, breathable atmosphere in dry indoor environments. Since glycerin is derived from plant-based sources, it fits perfectly with my commitment to using natural ingredients.
Polysorbate 20: To ensure that the fragrance oils blend seamlessly, I use Polysorbate 20. This emulsifier helps to dissolve oils without separation, ensuring that each spray delivers a consistent scent every time. It’s a gentle and non-toxic ingredient that keeps the formula safe for use in your home.
Geogard 221 Preservative: Preserving the integrity of my room sprays is important to me, and that’s why I use Geogard 221, an eco-friendly preservative that helps extend the shelf life of my products while keeping them safe to use. Unlike some harsh preservatives, Geogard 221 is a mild, natural option that doesn't compromise the quality of my room sprays. It ensures that they remain fresh and effective without introducing harmful chemicals into your home.
Each of these ingredients are carefully selected to provide you with a room spray that’s both effective and kind to your environment. They are sourced responsibly, with my commitment to quality and sustainability guiding every decision I make.
Soaps: Sustainably Made for Skin & Planet
At KaySea HandMade, every bar of soap is created with care—for your skin and for the environment. I use a base made from ethically sourced shea butter and natural goat milk, chosen for their nourishing properties and sustainable origins.
This soap is more than just gentle cleansing—it’s a reflection of my commitment to clean ingredients, cruelty-free practices, and responsible sourcing.
Sustainably Sourced Shea Butter: My shea butter is harvested from suppliers who support fair trade and environmentally responsible farming.
Goat Milk from Ethical Producers: Naturally rich in vitamins and gentle exfoliants, the goat milk in my soaps is sourced from farms that uphold animal welfare and quality care.
Free from Harsh Chemicals: My soap base contains no parabens, phthalates, SLS, or synthetic dyes—reducing your exposure to harmful additives while minimizing chemical runoff into the environment.
Biodegradable Formula: The ingredients in my soap break down safely, supporting a healthier water cycle and reduced ecological impact.
Cruelty-Free: None of my ingredients or finished products are tested on animals. Always clean, always kind.
Each bar is poured in small batches, aligning with my mission of creating beautiful, skin-loving products that leave a lighter footprint on the planet.
