fragrances.
Luxury doesn't mean sacrificing clean standards. Fragrance has long been a mysterious and mostly unregulated ingredient, and it is found in most every beauty, body care and household item we own. None of the standards out there seemed to live up to our expectations for clean and safe formulations.So we decided to create our own.
The Made Better™ Fragrance Collection contains:
No Prop 65 ingredients
No carcinogens
No mutagens
No reproductive, organ or acute toxins.
100% of Makesy fragrances are phthalate-free, vegan and, along with all of our products, are cruelty-free since day one.
bath & body.
Ingredients that make up Bath + Body Products are meant to cleanse and nourish your skin, so they shouldn’t contain toxins or additives that counteract clean intentions.
We believe Bath + Body Products should be made with the highest clean standards so we sourced supplies that we don’t have to think twice about lathering our own skin in.
Our Bath + Body Supplies are made with all-natural, organic components that contain healthy, soothing, healing properties for your skin and hair without harmful chemicals.
No Prop 65 ingredients
No carcinogens
No mutagens
No reproductive, organ or acute toxins.
Plus they are cruelty-free + vegan.
waxes & bases.
From candle making to perfumery, most all things that we make start with some sort of base. The base is typically the highest percentage of your formula, and it’s pretty important you choose a good one!
Our waxes and soap, diffuser, and spray bases have a few common threads you can count on:
No Prop 65 ingredients
No carcinogens
No mutagens
No reproductive, organ or acute toxins.
+ Non Toxic + Cruelty-free
wicks.
Our wooden wicks are and always have been made from all-natural and untreated USA-native wood. No metals, no toxins, no animal products or testing…just nature. We source our wood from Forest-Stewardship Council approved mills, which means that the wood we use is produced using only the highest standards in ethical and earth-friendly milling.
For every $100 you spend on our website, we plant a tree with our amazing partner, Trees for the Future. Here are a few fun facts about the positive impact you help us make:
• 1 tree makes approximately 750,000 wooden wicks.
• For $100, you can purchase 400 wooden wicks and clips on average.
• The math is simple...For every 1 tree consumed, you are helping us to plant roughly 1,875 more trees. Now that is sustainability we can all get behind!
packaging.
All of the packaging at Makesy from our chic Linen Boxes to our compostable Eco-Wrap, is at minimum 100% recyclable. We always strive to have the lowest impact possible from our warehouse to your door, and the packaging choices we make play a huge role in that.
• All of our shipping boxes are made from corrugated cardboard with minimal printing - they are easily recyclable. The paper tape we use to seal our boxes is also 100% recyclable and compostable.
• Our fragrances are shipped in glass or PET bottles - both the bottles and caps are readily recyclable. PET can be recycled 2 to 3 times since it breaks down at relatively low temperatures. Our bottles can also be repurposed for many chic packaging ideas. Simply place a new cap on them (or don’t) and use them to store or sell lotions, body oils, sprays, shampoos, conditioners, serums and more.
• Our frosted pouches are constructed with 100% recyclable materials and are highly reusable. We suggest saving them to utilize as packaging for wax melts, bath salts, or soaps.
• Say no thanks to bubble wrap. All of our products are padded and shipped with compostable kraft paper or eco-wrap.
Join us in our effort to lower packaging waste. If you ship products in-house, we highly recommend reusing the packaging you receive from us and your other suppliers. Using something twice is even better than recycling it after the first go-round!

how are we made better™?
You can count on our Made Better™ products adhering to the following guidelines:
all-natural: No synthetic additives, only ingredients from nature. We like it natural :)
allergen-free: Sayin’ no to common allergens with products free of wheat, gluten, fish or shellfish, egg, soy, peanut or tree nut ingredients or traces.
biodegradable: Can be decomposed naturally by bacteria or other living organisms! How cool?!
carcinogen-free: Ingredients on the California Prop 65 list are are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm - no thanks. None of our fragrances require Prop 65 labeling.
cruelty-free: We do not & will not participate in harming animals. All of our makesy products are cruelty-free, always.
diacetyl-free: Associated with damaging lung function, diacetyl is a flavoring agent. Flavors sold by makesy absolutely, 100% do not contain diacetyl.
gluten-free: This one’s easy ;) Products marked gluten-free do not contain gluten.
mutagen-free: Chemicals or physical agents that can change our genetic makeup in a harmful way? Nope. Not about it. Exposure to mutagens can produce DNA mutations that contribute to disease, that’s why none of our products contain them.
organic: Free from pesticides, dyes, chemical fertilizers (ew) & other synthetic additives. Guaranteed.
paraben-free: Parabens are a family of related (icky) chemicals that are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetic products. See ya never! Our makesy products are always specially formulated without parabens.
phthalates: Phthalates are lil scent carriers that help scents linger longer. Some types of phthalates have affected the reproductive system of laboratory animals. We ain’t about that, so none of our fragrances contain phthalates.
recyclable: Simple. 100% recyclable & eager to be converted into new things ;) In fact, all of our packaging materials are recyclable (at minimum)!
sustainably-made: Manufactured using renewable ingredients & practices, like our wooden wicks, which come from FSC Certified mills!
toxin-free: Various categories of toxins can pose adverse health effects from exposure. We’re proud to say that our products do not contain reproductive, acute or organ toxins. No way!
upcycled: Where innovation meets sustainability. Give leftover ingredients a second life in a zero waste approach.
vegan: Vegan products contain no animal products or animal-derived ingredients. Nada. None. Zero.
