About Us
"Growing up, I always knew I needed to be around animals, and do something involved with animals. All my compassion goes to them. I have always preferred their company... It was important for me to build a company that had their welfare & health in mind.
Our products are and always will be vegan, cruelty free & made with ingredients that are non-toxic to animals!"
- Founder, FROM THE ISLAND.
Many people are completely unaware that candles can be toxic to pets... and humans!
Most Candles on the market are made from paraffin wax which is a cheaper wax than soy. However paraffin wax contains petroleum, this means when lit they release carcinogens into the air which can cause headaches, nauseas and lung issues in humans. But not only is it about the wax... there are many oils that are toxic to pets too! Candles that contain fragrances such as pine, ylang-ylang, wintergreens, tea tree, to name a few, are all very harmful to pets. It can cause anything from excessive drooling, vomiting to organ failure!
We realised that over the years we had bought so many candles and diffusers and never thought once about the effects it could have on our health or our dog's, Biscuit... So we set out on a mission to create products that are safe for pets!
Our carefully selected oils are made from the highest quality ingredients, and are 100% vegan and cruelty free!
With all this, we created Candles that are Pet Friendly, and FROM THE ISLAND was launched in 2022... with Biscuit's ears as our logo. We then created our Lickable Vegan Paw Balms for pets
Our hearts were broken when we had to say goodbye to our girl Biscuit on the 26th October, 2022 at nearly 16 years old. We hope we continue to make her proud of us and she is quite literally living on through us. We've since adopted 3 cats. They have taken over Biscuit's role of product control... All orders will be inspected by our bossy girl Mazikeen before making their way to you!
We aim to fill homes with our safe and unique Candles & Scent Diffusers, and spoil pets with our lickable vegan skin care... whilst educating pet parents along the way!
