SUSTAINABILITY

A Thoughtful Approach
to Clean Living.

At KIHO, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s at the heart of everything we do. We take great care in researching and selecting our ingredients and materials to ensure they meet our high standards for quality and sustainability.

Our home fragrances are hand-poured in micro batches, made with fine fragrance oils and 100% plant-based, non-toxic ingredients.

From sourcing to packaging, we prioritize eco-friendly practices that are safe for people, animals, and the planet.

We believe in the power of nature to inspire beauty in our homes, and we are dedicated to preserving it for future generations.

The things you bring into your home should feel good in every way—

beautiful to use,
comforting to live with,
and considerate of
the world around us.

Every decision is made with intention,
so your daily rituals can feel
a little lighter and more mindful.

Clean, carefully selected ingredients.

We use plant-based, non-toxic ingredients that are safe for both people and the planet. Free from harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and sulfates, our formulas are designed for mindful living.

Reusable and refill-focused designs.

All of our packaging is recyclable or reusable. We use FSC-certified paper, glass vessels, and minimal plastic. Our shipping materials are plastic-free and designed to minimize waste.

Made in small batches, with intention.

We produce in small batches to maintain quality. This slower, more intentional pace allows us to pour and blend with care, checking each product by hand.

Ethically sourced
materials.

All of our core materials are sourced within the United States. We work closely with trusted domestic suppliers to ensure ethical practices, consistent quality, and reduced transportation impact. Proudly made in the U.S., with care for people, process, and place.

Crafted Slowly,
by hand.

From formulation to pouring to packaging, every step of our process is done by hand.

Each piece is carefully finished, labeled, and packed with intention—never rushed, always considered.

Why
Coconut Wax?

KIHO candles are made with coconut wax—a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional paraffin or soy blends. Coconut wax is known not only for its beautiful, slow burn, but also for its lower environmental impact from start to finish.

Grown, Not Extracted

Coconuts are harvested from existing trees rather than requiring new land clearing or intensive farming, helping preserve natural ecosystems.

Lower-Impact Cultivation

Coconut trees thrive in tropical climates with minimal irrigation, fertilizers, or pesticides, making them a more sustainable crop compared to many oil-producing plants.

A Renewable, Replenishing Resource

Coconut trees produce fruit year-round, allowing for continuous harvest without harming the tree itself.

Cleaner to Burn

Coconut wax is free from paraffin and burns cleaner with less soot, creating a healthier environment inside your home.

Higher Yield, Less Waste

Coconut wax offers excellent fragrance performance and longer burn times, meaning each candle lasts longer and minimizes waste.

Designed to live
beyond the candle.

Our premium, heavy-base glass vessel is hand-blown in the USA and crafted to be reused long after the candle is finished.

Its balanced weight and refined silhouette make it ideal as a whiskey glass, giving it a second life that feels intentional and elevated.

For everyday use, it also becomes a beautiful organizer for makeup brushes, cotton pads, pens, or desk essentials—a versatile piece that brings quiet elegance to any space.

Packaging
with Purpose.

We see packaging as part of the experience—but never as something to waste. Wherever possible, we choose materials that are recyclable, reusable, or made from responsibly sourced fibers.

Our packaging is designed with intention, balancing protection, simplicity, and long-term use.

FSC-certified cartons and paper, sourced from responsibly managed forests

Minimal plastic and reduced excess packaging.

Thoughtfully designed to be reused, recycled, or repurposed.

All product boxes are proudly made in the United States, supporting local manufacturing and reducing unnecessary transportation.

By keeping our materials considered and minimal, we aim to reduce unnecessary waste while still delivering a refined, thoughtful unboxing experience.
