HEAVEN SCENT Stand: 3N40 heavenscent.co.uk Heaven Scent has always created products that are kind to the environment and animals and are sustainable and cruelty-free. The company creates candles that are vegan-friendly, and for many years, customers thought this to be a niche product. “We are pleased to find our products at the forefront of customers’ ethical concerns and love the fact that our natural products are seen as mainstream products now," says Sarah Pettitt, creative director. Every product range Heaven Scent develops has to be created with many factors in mind: natural ingredients, sustainable packaging, free from animal products and cruelty-free.
