Clean Ingredients / Materials
Formulated with excellent clean ingredients.
Ethical Practices
The Herbologist range is proudly manufactured in Sydney and Melbourne, ensuring fair wages and top-quality ingredients. The brand focuses on environmental concerns with its packaging and is known for its compassion and integrity. All ingredients used are not derived from endangered species and the products are cruelty-free, with no animal testing conducted.
Sustainable Practices
The Herbologist prioritises sustainability in its packaging by ensuring that all products are made in Australia, which supports the local economy and reduces shipping costs and environmental impact. The brand uses amber jars, bottles and lids made from 100% recycled PET (rPET) for its hand and body wash and botanical bath salt collections. All labels are printed in Australia and glass vessels are utilised where possible, such as in their botanical candle range, promoting recyclability. The brand employs PCR pouches made from recycled content to minimise landfill waste and enhance sustainability efforts. Additionally, biodegradable mailers are used for e-commerce orders, with minimal packaging to reduce waste and handwritten thank-you messages instead of separate cards, reflecting a commitment to zero-waste practices in every decision they make.
Social Impact
The Herbologist is a small business that contributes significantly to its local community and beyond. It donates hand washes to the Port Stephens Koala Hospital and Wildlife Sanctuary to aid in reducing their operational costs. The brand also purchased a $3,300 Heart Defibrillator for the Mount Kosciuszko–Thredbo Ski Patrol for emergency use. Additionally, The Herbologist consistently donates products to local sporting clubs for their charity fundraising efforts and has pledged 500 Relax Botanical Bath Salts to the McGrath Foundation and Cancer Care Support and Awareness for use in future fundraising events.
Product Reviews by Experts
Lighting this candle felt like walking through the more floral, citrus-laced edges of the Australian Botanical Gardens. The scent is joyful and subtly luxurious. Housed in a weighty black glass vessel with rose gold details, it presents as something truly special. I loved the inclusion of the brand’s story and values on the box, which made it feel personal and purposeful. The fragrance opens with orange but quickly settles into a calming blend of jasmine and amber, with a gentle herbal touch. I would reach for this when feeling low or flat- it brings calm and light in the most elegant way. The Herbologist clearly pours care into every part of their process. I was impressed by their dedication to using Australian-made materials and supporting local manufacturing, which not only helps reduce environmental impact but also strengthens the local economy. Their use of glass vessels, recycled PET, biodegradable mailers and minimal, thoughtful packaging speaks to a zero-waste mindset that feels authentic. What stands out the most is the heart behind the brand particularly in terms of impacting their immediate community (from donations to koala hospitals and cancer care foundations to community sports fundraisers and emergency support). For a small business, their sense of responsibility and generosity is truly impressive.
This beautiful candle is deliciously sweet and uplifting, yet somehow still earthy and grounding- a rare and artful balance in a scent. When I found out it was created by someone with over 35 years in botanical medicine, it all made perfect sense. I love that it’s scented only with essential oils (no synthetics in sight) and the amber glass jar looks stunning on my altar. A gorgeous one to burn when I need calm, clarity and good energy. This small brand walks its talk- using Australian-made, recycled or biodegradable packaging wherever possible, avoiding endangered ingredients and giving generously to community causes. From zero-waste shipping practices to donations supporting koala hospitals and cancer care, there’s a clear commitment to both people and planet.
The Orange Burgeon Candle is a sensory delight- fresh and citrus-adjacent with a gentle floral complexity that feels elegant, not overpowering. The packaging is beautiful and I love how the fragrance unfurls gradually, starting with zesty orange, then settling into the soft warmth of flowers and wood. It’s one of those rare candles that lifts the energy of a space while still feeling calming and grounding. The Herbologist is clearly a brand with a conscience shown by their commitment to Australian manufacturing, which not only ensures ingredient quality and ethical labour, but also supports local economies and reduces emissions. Their community contributions are especially touching- from koala hospitals to ski patrols and cancer care fundraisers, it’s lovely to see such generosity from a small brand.
