Products that enhance your home and wellbeing Von Norten, a Scandinavian eco-conscious luxury brand, was created from the idea that a home should be filled with nature and kindness. Von Norten wants to offer luxurious candles, scents, and body products without paraffin, paraben and other harsh chemicals, without losing the luxury feeling.

That’s why I decided to create Von Norten – a toxic-free brand that everyone can enjoy,” Johansson says.

Our products are also eco-friendly, 95 per cent of the candles are made of natural wax, and most of them are packaged in recycled glass and paper.”
