Sustainability and wellness go hand in hand. The products we use daily to nurture our bodies and minds can also support the health of the planet.
From personal care and supplements to yoga mats and hydration solutions, there are tons of sustainable wellness products available on Heka that make it easier than ever to live a healthy, eco-conscious lifestyle.
Reusable Water Bottles & Drinkware
Plastic waste is one of the biggest environmental challenges we face today, and single-use plastic bottles contribute significantly to this problem. Did you know that for every six bottles of water bought, only one is recycled? In the UK alone, nearly 16 million plastic bottles aren’t being recycled each year. By switching to a reusable water bottle, you can make a massive difference in reducing plastic pollution. Ocean Bottle offers stylish, durable options made from recycled materials that keep your drinks cold or hot for hours, making hydration more sustainable and convenient. Ocean Bottle takes things a step even further with every purchase funding the collection of 1,000 ocean-bound plastic bottles.
Sustainable Yoga Mats and Fitness Gear
Yoga and fitness practices are a cornerstone of wellness, but many traditional mats and gear are made from non-biodegradable materials that end up in landfills. Thankfully, sustainable alternatives like Ekotex offer yoga mats made from non-toxic, biodegradable materials. The top layer is a combination of natural tree rubber that increases in grip as you sweat, keeping you secure, and ground pumice stone that’s cooling to the touch, soothing your hands and feet and keeping you grounded. The base layer is a combination of rice husk, bamboo pulp and biodegradable TPE.
Plant-based Supplements and Vitamins
Brands like Luna & Solis and Aduna are leading the sustainability charge in the supplements space. Luna & Solis’ premium plant-based liquid supplements are free from preservatives and fillers, and packaged in recyclable glass bottles. Aduna’s organic superfoods are derived from exceptionally nutrient-rich plants such as moringa, baobab, hibiscus, and cacao, delivering a powerful daily dose of health. They work directly with producers in rural communities to produce high quality products while also re-investing back into creating sustainable incomes and supporting regenerative farming.
Additionally, if you’re a fan of wellness teas, consider Bird & Blend, whose packaging is all compostable or recyclable. Their deliveries within London are even zero-emission through their partnership with the courier Hived who complete their deliveries on bikes!
Sustainable Skincare and Personal Care
If you’re looking for powerful, natural skincare, check out Lumity, whose supplements and skincare products are free from the usual fillers and preservatives. All their packaging is fully recyclable, compostable, or reusable. As well as being a B Corp, they are Leaping Bunny certified, with supply chain checks to ensure all their ingredients are of the highest quality and sourced from responsible suppliers. Plantopia’s holistic wellbeing rituals support the management and impact of stress on your mind, body and skin with formulations that are 97% natural, vegan-friendly, and Leaping Bunny certified.
There are also sustainable menstrual products like DAME and Mooncup whose reusable products and eco-conscious practices support not only your personal hygiene but also promote long-term sustainability.
Natural Candles and Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy and essential oils are a great wellness practice to promote relaxation, energise your mind, or create a peaceful atmosphere. However, many conventional candles are made from paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct), synthetic fragrances, and lead wicks. To make your aromatherapy routine more eco-friendly, switch to natural candles made from soy, rapeseed, beeswax, or coconut wax, which are renewable and biodegradable.
Brands like Old Green Studio, Scentered, and Ajora offer candles that use natural waxes and essential oils for a clean burn. Old Green Studio’s candle containers are handcrafted from repurposed glass bottles that are rescued locally. All three brands offer refills for a more sustainable and affordable product.
Sustainable Food Choices
Food waste is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions - an estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste. By offering pre-portioned meals, companies like All Week, Scoff, and STOCKED are helping to tackle this issue head-on. Whether you're looking to cut down on your environmental footprint or simply want a convenient, nutritious meal, these companies offer a solution that benefits both you and the planet.
Eco-Friendly Sleep Aids
Restful sleep is crucial for overall wellness, but traditional linens and sleep aids are often made with synthetic materials that harm the environment. To enhance your sleep while supporting sustainability, choose bedding made from responsible cotton, hemp, or bamboo. All About Sleep has bamboo sleeping masks and pillowcases that are free from harmful chemicals, using organic and sustainable materials that are ECOCERT and OEKO-TEX Certified, ensuring you can rest easy in more ways than one.
