Our Story

My passion and love for essential oils started when I was really young, inspired by my aunty Shirley who used to make me my own blends and lotions. Then I found Margaret Tisserand, who alchemized my passion for aromatherapy and further inspired me to make my own essential oil-based creations. 

Using essential oils in our everyday life has immense potential; from replacing our beauty products, cleaning products to reducing plastic waste and helping the planet.

The oils themselves have beautiful therapeutic and nourishing effects that can impact the physical and mental well-being and our environment.

The benefits that essential oils bring, coupled with removing toxic chemicals (that are often included in' general' beauty/cleaning products) and working towards 'natural' living can have a domino effect on our own health and well-being and the environment. 

The simplest example being all of the chemicals we put on our hair, skin and breather in from the air directly impacts our physiology. From toxins like SLS that adds foam to shampoo, to

‘preservatives’ and added artificial ‘scents’ … our body absorbs the toxins but also the planet does, we rinse our shampoo off and it disappears down the plughole and into our rivers, lochs, and oceans…impacting everything from fish, sea plants and other sea creatures, then we eat them, reabsorbing the toxins on a micro-scale.  Without trying to overthink the sadness of this example, there is a positive, we ourselves can create change and difference. The smallest of changes can have ripple effects...

This doesn’t mean throwing all of our products away and starting again. It can be a simple as waiting until one product runs out and looking for more sustainable replacements. For example, when your perfume runs out maybe look for a less chemically full essential oil spray...
