-Kim

2. Trauma Oil

Trauma Oil is our blend of three comforting herbs: calendula, arnica, and St. John’s wort. We harvest these wild and organically grown flowers by hand, and infuse them in extra virgin, organic olive oil. The result is a super-soothing herbally infused oil!

Trauma Oil shines when it’s used for sore muscles and joints.

“By far the BEST! Working 12+ hours/day in the lab and medical field takes its toll on our bodies and trauma oil has saved us multiple times since the pandemic! I love this so much that I have made roller bottles for my coworkers as well. They're amazed at how quickly the oil works.”
-Tiffany

6. Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis)

Jojoba oil is not only one of our customers’ top picks—it’s also #1 among our founders! Jojoba has a smooth, luxurious texture, and a subtle aroma that doesn’t overshadow essential oils. Plus, jojoba is chemically similar to the natural oil produced by human skin, making it an excellent moisturizer.

Jojoba is moisturizing and skin soothing used alone, in blends, and as a base for essential oils.

“I love it because it absorbs beautifully, doesn’t feel greasy, and works for all blending applications. Simply the best carrier I have used!”
-Marie

-Angelle

8. Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis)

Our light, silky aloe vera gel brings a wow-factor to your natural skin care! It absorbs quickly, offering 100% intact polysaccharides to help repair damaged skin. Aloe vera is a water-based carrier, and works as a base for essential oils with the addition of Solubol dispersant.

Aloe vera gel soothes irritated skin, helps repair daily damage, and calms breakouts.

-Katie

9. Black Spruce Oil (Picea mariana)

One of our most popular conifer essential oils, black spruce, is distilled from the needles of evergreen trees in Canada and Alaska. It has a deep, foresty aroma that inspires feelings of security, and it can clear your head during cold season.

Keep black spruce close to support your breathing and calm an overactive, worried mind.
