How Can I Upcycle My Molton Brown?

From ingredient to packaging, we carefully craft each of our products so they can live life to the fullest – and even after the last drop, are too precious to let go. As waste-reducing champions, we’re sharing three circular, creative ways to upcycle empties, including how to reuse candle jars and revamp gift boxes.

1.Plant A Mini Herb Garden

Encased in earthy brown glass, our Scented Candle vessels make natural holders for your favourite herbs. To remove the leftover candle wax after the final burn, our Senior Cosmetic Manager, Raj Gabbi, recommends leaving the vessel overnight in the freezer (-18°C). The wax will shrink and you’ll be able to scoop it out with a spoon.

Afterwards, wipe the vessel clean, then take the plant and soil out of its original plastic container and press into its new home.

2.Beautify Your Space With Bud Vases

A different way to spruce up your hallway or WFH desk. If you have any leftover flowers from an old bouquet, instead of binning them all, pop them in our Aroma Reeds and Body Oil glass. Don’t forget to wash the glasses with water beforehand! Choose a selection of short and long stems for a fresh, delicate and eye-catching display.

We love: eucalyptus, lisianthus and thistles to mix up texture and shape.

3.Pull Out All The Stops With A Personal Gift Hamper

Turn our reusable gift boxes into a wow-worthy hamper with minimal effort. Pad it with sizzle or biodegradable wood wool and gather all of their favourites, not forgetting Molton Brown treats and a card – thoughtful, impressive and no extra wasteful wrapping required.
