Caring For Wood Naturally
LOXKIN LTD is a UK social enterprise rethinking one of the most overlooked aspects of sustainable design: how we care for wood once it has been made. Using regenerative UK-grown hemp seed oil and high-welfare beeswax, the company develops plant-based wood finishes that extend the life of timber products while reducing reliance on petrochemical coatings. By connecting regenerative agriculture with design and manufacturing, LOXKIN LTD demonstrates how material choices can support a more circular future.
Working with designers, makers, researchers and farmers, LOXKIN LTDD combines product development with education and research into circular design, indoor air quality and end-of-life performance. Alongside its range of natural wood finishes, the company delivers workshops that encourage repair-led thinking and explores how renewable materials can create lasting environmental and social value. Rather than treating maintenance as an afterthought, LOXKIN LTD places care at the centre of sustainable material practice
