HEAVEN SCENT INCENSE LTD Stand: 6H21 heavenscent.co.uk Heaven Scent Incense has always produced vegan- friendly candles since it began making the products in the ’90s. “Then, it was a very niche word used by what people called alternatives – which we’re happy to say were our customers,” commented Heaven Scent creative director Sarah Pettitt. “Some 20 years later at our last trade show, however, I noticed a marked change; nearly every customer asked ethical questions about our products, lots asked about our vegan- friendly products and people wanted to talk about sustainability and plastic-free alternatives. It was a very interesting show. We’re glad to say that we, as a company, have been ahead of the curve and are able to meet the demands of the new emerging conscious buyer. By autumn 2019, a new Vegan range will be available, which will consist of candles, reed diffusers and soaps and will have the “Vegan” branded on them. We’re currently developing a shampoo bar that will address the issues for many customers seeking a plastic-free alternative. In the future, we will hope to address the issues of plastic packaging in our body products.”
