About Our Values
Started in 2020 by Viviani Natiele, Botanica by Viviani Natiele is a home-grown business that is founded on the core principals of quality, fairness and transparency.
Working only with 100% coconut wax flakes, every single candle is still made by hand from beginning to end. The candle fragrances the team creates are close to nature with un-fussy, recognisable scents that are comforting and familiar. Minimising the environmental impact of the business is at the forefront of every decision and plastic-free packing and re-filling are closely focussed on.
Our products are ethically sourced by suppliers in NZ, vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, GMO-free and palm-oil free.
