Our Story
As aromatherapists and aromatherapy teachers, we have first-hand experience of working to address the impact that the fast-paced realities of modern life can have on people's skin, bodies and minds.
Our practice has taught us that by taking a holistic approach to formulation, using sustainable, botanical ingredients that not only have exceptional skincare properties, but which also support a balanced and positive state of mind, we are able to achieve better outcomes not only for the skin but also for the overall wellbeing of the user.
Inspired by this knowledge, our commitment is create exceptional skincare that is highly effective and holistic in its outcomes, always a joy to use, but also sustainable in its approach and provenance.
From planting a tree for every product we sell to contributing our time and expertise to initiatives that promote access to wellbeing; from using sustainable natural ingredients and recyclable packaging to working with suppliers and partners who understand our approach and share our values, our aim is to offer outstanding world-friendly skincare which makes accessing the benefits of aromatherapy a simple part of your daily wellbeing ritual.
