Products & Materials

What are Hetkinen products made of?
All our products are made from 100% natural ingredients. They are vegan and biodegradable, designed with respect for both people and nature.

Where are your products made?
All our products are made in Finland, in our own factory in Turku, using carefully selected natural materials.

What kind of packaging do you use?
Our diffusers, room sprays, perfumes, and soaps come in reusable, durable glass bottles or jars. 

Our perfume and candle caps are made from Finnish pine wood, and our scent diffusers use pine sticks. Additional sticks are also available separately.

For our soaps, we offer ecological 1-liter refill packages to reduce packaging waste.

Do your products come in different sizes?
Yes, many of our products are available in different sizes to suit different spaces and needs. You can find the exact size options for each product on its product page.

What options are available for candles?
Our candles are available with either a cotton wick or a wooden wick, allowing you to choose the experience you prefer.


Scents & Product Types

What kind of scents do you offer?
Our scents are inspired by Nordic nature — forests, wood, earth, and calm moments. They are designed to be grounding, gentle, and sensory.

What is the difference between a scent diffuser and a room spray?
A scent diffuser releases fragrance slowly and continuously into the space, creating a subtle and lasting atmosphere.
A room spray provides an instant scent experience and is perfect when you want to refresh the space immediately.

For a more complete experience, we recommend combining both.

What is a Poo-Pause spray?
Poo-Pause is a toilet spray designed to be used before use. It creates a natural barrier on the water surface, helping to keep the air fresh.

Do you offer scents for sauna use?
Yes, we offer sauna scents designed to complement the sauna experience with natural, nature-inspired aromas.
