Eco-Friendly Living: Simple Shifts Toward a Greener Life
At Malibu Apothecary, sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s the foundation of who we are. From the wax we pour to the boxes we reuse, our goal is to craft beautiful products that don’t compromise the health of your home or the planet. If you’re looking for simple, approachable ways to live more eco-consciously, here are some practical tips — plus how our Mystery Box can help you celebrate Earth Day with intention.
Rethink Consumption: Buy Less, Choose Well
Living sustainably starts with asking more from the products we bring into our lives. Can it be reused? Is it made with safe, non-toxic ingredients? Does the company behind it care about the planet? At Malibu Apothecary, all our candles are hand-poured with a clean-burning coconut and soy wax blend — free of paraffin, phthalates, and parabens — so you can enjoy fragrance without the harmful additives commonly found in traditional candles.
Embrace Imperfection
Sustainability isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention. That’s the spirit behind our limited-edition Earth Day Mystery Box. We're opening the doors to our warehouse and offering deeply discounted, one-of-a-kind candles that didn’t quite meet our retail standards. These pieces may be scratched, dented, or mislabeled — but they’re still clean, safe, and ready to burn. We also reuse boxes and clean vessels that may have been otherwise discarded. It’s our way of honoring the full life cycle of our materials, and we invite you to join us.

Reuse What You Have
Our glass candle vessels are designed with second lives in mind. When your candle has finished burning, try turning the container into a bud vase, makeup brush holder, or desk organizer. Simply freeze the remaining wax or pour boiling water into the jar to pop it out. Small actions like this reduce waste and make your space more beautiful.
Support Brands with Purpose
With every online purchase of our Matte Black candle, a portion is donated to coastal conservation efforts — because we believe that beautiful scents should support a beautiful planet. Our Iridescent Pink candles also contribute 5% of proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Where and how we spend matters, and choosing products with impact can be a form of advocacy.
Opt for Natural Materials
Look for candles, skincare, and home goods made with organic or sustainably sourced ingredients. At Malibu Apothecary, we prioritize essential oil-infused fragrances and organic jojoba oil in our perfumes. Our packaging is made with recycled materials, and our shipping practices are always under review to become even more planet-friendly.
Celebrate Earth Day the Conscious Way
Whether it’s reusing a vessel or lighting a candle that gives back, small steps add up. Our Earth Day Mystery Box is a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and the beauty of second chances — in products and in practice. Let’s honor our Planet Earth not with perfection, but with purpose.
Light clean. Live clean. Love your coast.
