Are you practicing safe scent?
"Fragrance" and "parfum" are umbrella terms used to hide up to 3,500 chemicals. Manufacturers aren't required to list the mix of specific fragrance ingredients on the product label. You'll find one or the other on the ingredients list on your favourite reed diffuser or scented candle. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals hiding in plain sight.
Our USDA Certified Organic essential oil blends contain just that, and nothing else. No nasties.
Going beyond NetZero
Our Carbonrox can help turn our cities back into forests and lock carbon away forever. Welcome to the (urban) jungle.
FAQs
How do i choose my scent?
Good question. Take a look at our scent profiles here and discover your perfect organic scentscape.
HOW STRONG IS THE SCENT?
For a mid/strong base level of scent, we recommend anywhere between 5 and 15 drops daily. Weekly will yield a milder scent experience overall. All four can produce a range from subtle to strong, depending on how many drops you apply and how frequently. It's all within your control. Remember - there are no synthetic fragrance chemicals used in the making of our oils or in the end products, so these organic essential oil blends will never hit you in the face the way a strongly scented Uber will.
CAN I USE DIFFERENT SCENTS ON THE SAME ROCKS?
We don't recommend it. Much as with a conventional passive diffuser, like lava stones for example, the rocks will retain some of the scent that was used on it previously. So if you were to layer another different scent on top, the result will be the two scents mingling. We recommend using one scent per set of rocks.
how do i use my CarbonRox?
First, ensure your shell is filled with your Carbonrox. Sprinkle them with a little water to jumpstart the absorption process. Then take your chosen scent and add 5-15 drops to the rocks, depending on the scent strength you would like to achieve. Enjoy your organic scentscape and top up whenever you desire. We recommend topping up at least once a week for a more gentle scent, or daily for a stronger, more powerful effect.
Where should I place my shells?
Wherever you want to enjoy your relaxing scentscape. Bedside tables, bathrooms, entrance hallways, coffee tables - any space in your home you would like scented with the organic blend of your choosing. For general reference, one shell will scent a room roughly 150 square feet / 13.5 square metres.
WHAT ARE THE CARBONROX MADE OF?
Carbonrox is made up of a combination of magnesium and calcium hydroxide. It is well known that both magnesium and calcium hydroxide absorb CO₂ and turn into magnesium and calcium carbonate, which are insoluble in water, and do not release the CO₂ back unless heated beyond approximately 1500F/800C. Magnesium hydroxide absorbs about 75% by weight of CO₂, while calcium hydroxide absorbs about 59% by weight of CO₂.
How do the carbonrox work? Are they safe to have in my home?
Our Carbonrox are made using a patented system, transforming waste water from salt production to a compound that is able to absorb ambient CO₂ from the air. Over the course of 3-4 months, the rocks absorb CO₂ and transform into chalk. Totally safe, and the end product is actually good for the soil!
How often do I have to swap my carbonrox out?
We make our Carbonrox "fresh" when we fulfil our orders - so they will ship to you live. After 4 months, they will have completed their transformation to chalk. You can swap the rocks out anytime you choose - every 4 months, twice a year, once a year. We recommend replenishing the rocks every 4 months, once the absorption cycle has been completed, for maximum ambient CO₂ absorption within your home.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY CARBONROX AT THE END OF 4 MONTHS?
You can dispose of them with your regular garbage or in your compost. You can also use them as planter rocks or distribute them in a garden, as they enrich the soil. By the way, the shells are fully biodegradable as well and can be composted. There are plenty of resources online about how to compost coconut shells that can referenced for this.
WHERE ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED?
Our Carbonrox are made in College Station, Texas. Our upcycled coconut shells are salvaged and painted in Vietnam. Our organic essential oils are blended and bottled in Coimbatore, India - our co-founder Karthik's hometown, using USDA Certified Organic ingredients, organically grown or wild harvested, and predominantly locally sourced.
Is it really carbon negative? How? How much impact can it actually have?
Yes, it really is carbon negative. We're a young company just starting out, but we have already begun the process of certification with SGS, so that we are officially recognized as a carbon negative product. We took great care in selecting every material used in the making of our product. From saving coconut shells from incineration and thus preventing further CO₂ from being released into the atmosphere, to recycling waste water to make our Carbonrox, every element of our process has been refined to optimize towards the lowest possible carbon footprint. This, combined with the amount of CO₂ captured by our Carbonrox, makes every unit carbon negative. We believe that putting carbon capture in the hands of people instead of relying on big businesses to change their practices fast enough can make a real impact.
Why is the label on my essential oil bottle tarnishing?
We want to be transparent about the consequences of opting out of plastic usage and energy intensive processes like screen printing directly onto the bottle. We chose recycled paper for our labels as it's currently the most environmentally sound choice for us. A plastic label would tarnish less than paper over time, but we don't believe we should be using plastics or exposing you to them. As we grow, we will hope to source a biodegradable polymer for our labels as we continue to improve and refine our product, but until then, these labels are our best choice.
HAVE YOU USED AI IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR PRODUCT OR MATERIALS?
No. Our project does not involve the use of AI technology or use AI content. This is a conscious choice due to the environmentally-friendly nature of our product. Because AI is so energy intensive, it is not a good fit for our brand and product. We have optimized our product to have a negative carbon footprint using our carbon-capturing Carbonrox, so it just wouldn't make sense for us to use AI technology or AI content in the development of our product or any materials to promote it. All photography and videography has been produced and edited by the Creator of our project, without AI technology.
