LEVERDEN
Leverden is a portal to discovering who we truly are, whole and healed, to just being. Leverden is a body self-care line that taps into ancient healing rituals found in nature and the wisdom and restoration that results. They consume the rituals through all their senses, absorb the recovery, and let the modern world fall away for a time. Each collection is based on a Place, an Ingredient and a Practice—a rejuvenating ritual discovered on a physical and inner journey, beginning with the Bamboo Salt Collection.
SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE
Leverden respect and admire the planet. Their design intentions is a circular design with elements of product and packaging that can be reused, not just recycled. Their bottles are made from post-consumer recycled plastic. Their candles are poured in a reusable vessel to be repurposed any way you choose, including filling it with their refillable wax, sold separately. They include a packet of seeds reminiscent of the Collection scent which can be planted in the empty vessel to cultivate new life. Their packaging is either biodegradable paper, PCR plastic, or glass. The Amethyst Ki Bath Soak comes in a reusable canvas pouch. You won’t find any polyurethane, bubble wrap, or regular plastic here. Even their ink is eco-friendly soy.

A WORD FROM THE FOUNDERS
Our idea came out of lockdown burn-out and the negativity of the pandemic world. There was so much bigotry and hate going on, we wanted to connect to something more positive and kinder; we are all one and equal; we wanted something to share.
Leverden is derived from the Nordic “le verdens” or “of the world” to show just that. Our respect for the earth is found in the high-quality ingredients and materials sourced from nature in each collection. Leverden taps into the discovery of healing rituals found in the world; I wanted to share some of my findings when I was travelling the world to heal some of the illnesses I was going through at the time.
Our portal is way of transporting you to the bamboo forests of South Korea, to the red sands of Namibia Desert and many more to come.
