Loxkin is a UK-based wood finishing brand built on a simple idea: what we put into materials shapes the environments we live in.

We started by looking closely at how wood is treated. Not the timber itself, but the finishes applied to it, often petrochemical-based, difficult to repair, and a barrier to reuse. For a material that can last generations, this is clearly a weak point in the system.

Loxkin was created as a better alternative. A plant-based finish made from British-grown hemp oil, designed to work with the material rather than against it, protecting, nourishing and allowing wood to age, repair and be reused over time.

We believe materials should contribute to environments that support wellbeing, not compromise it. By removing unnecessary chemistry and working with natural inputs, Loxkin helps create spaces that feel healthier, safer and more in balance with the people who use them.

We operate as a social enterprise, with a clear long-term aim: to use our profits to create regional community hubs. These hubs will bring together circular design, regenerative farming and hands-on craft, upcycling waste materials, educating on circular systems, and up-skilling local workforces.

Because building a better future isn’t just about products, it’s about the systems, skills and communities that sit around them.

HEMP BENEFITS

For millennia, humans have used parts of the hemp plant for food, textiles, paper, fabric, or even construction. Modern processing technologies make it possible to create hemp based alternatives to fuel, plastic, & other mineral oil products, which can help the world reduce its reliance on heavily polluting fossil fuels.
