Sustainability at Upsensed

At Upsensed, sustainability is part of the way we think, source, create, and refine. We believe the fragrance products you bring into your home should feel beautiful, perform well, and be made with care for both your well-being and the world around you.

We are not here to overcomplicate the ritual. We are here to make it more thoughtful.

Clean Ingredients, Thoughtfully Chosen

Every Upsensed product is created with intention, from the wax we pour to the fragrance blends we choose. Our goal is to offer elevated home fragrance that feels as good as it smells.

Our candles are made with:

• A premium plant-based coconut-apricot wax blend (renewable and biodegradable)
• Non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrance blends
• Premium essential oils where appropriate
• FSC-certified wooden wicks

We choose ingredients with performance, safety, and sustainability in mind. That means creating products that deliver a beautiful scent experience without unnecessary additives or harsh ingredients.

Our Approach to Fragrance

Fragrance is at the center of everything we create, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We work with trusted fragrance partners in the United States to develop mood-driven scent blends that are polished, modern, and safe to enjoy in your home. Our fragrances are crafted using a thoughtful balance of naturally derived ingredients and high-quality synthetic components.

All Upsensed fragrance oils are phthalate-free, paraben-free, and non-toxic. Phthalates are often used in fragrance to help extend scent longevity, but because they have been linked to potential health concerns, we choose to leave them out entirely.

While our candles, room sprays, wax melts, and car diffusers may contain synthetic fragrance components, each blend is intentionally formulated to remain clean, safe, and responsibly sourced.

We also believe it is important to be honest about the word “natural.” All-natural does not always mean more sustainable. Some essential oils require large amounts of raw botanical material to produce a very small yield. In certain cases, a responsibly created synthetic alternative can help reduce environmental strain while still offering a refined and lasting scent experience.

For us, the goal is balance: beautiful fragrance, thoughtful formulation, and a cleaner approach to the products you use in your home.

Small-Batch Production with Purpose

Upsensed products are crafted in small batches with care and attention to detail. This approach allows us to focus on quality, consistency, and refinement instead of mass production.

Small-batch crafting helps us:

• Reduce unnecessary waste
• Maintain better quality control
• Test and improve our products with intention
• Create each item with a more hands-on approach

Every candle is part of a larger process of sourcing, testing, pouring, curing, and refining. We believe that slower, more intentional production creates a better product and a better experience for you.

Packaging with Intention

We want our packaging to feel elevated, polished, and beautiful without being excessive. Every packaging choice is made with both presentation and responsibility in mind.

Our packaging approach includes:

• Recyclable and reusable materials whenever possible
• Minimal, refined design that reduces unnecessary waste
• Thoughtful shipping materials chosen to protect your order without excess
• Ongoing evaluation of more sustainable packaging options

We are always looking for ways to improve. Sustainability is not a one-time decision. It is an ongoing commitment to making better choices as we grow.

People, Planet, and Purpose

For Upsensed, sustainability also means caring about the people and communities connected to our brand.

We believe in working with partners who value transparency, integrity, and responsible production. We also believe a beautiful home fragrance brand can stand for something deeper than scent alone.

That is why 5% of proceeds are donated to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America. Mental health awareness is part of the heart of Upsensed, and giving back allows us to support a cause that aligns with our purpose.

Our products are designed to bring comfort, atmosphere, and intention into everyday life, but our mission extends beyond the home.
