Sp-oil yourself/Trust us, this is essential

Essential oils. We see these two words pop up everywhere we go. What are these things? What are they good for? And finally, what’s so essential about these oils anyway? Well, you’re about to find out some of these things. Crash course coming your way.

Aptly named, these completely natural oils are extracted from various plants that make up the true essence and fragrance making each plant unique. Use of essential oils go back as far as 4500 BC in so many different ways. The Greeks and the Romans used to trade this valuable commodity primarily with the East back in the day, why wouldn’t they? They smell incredible and feel decadent on the skin. 

It’s not just their exquisite smells, modern research shows that essential oils help relieve stress and depression; leaving you relaxed, focused, rejuvenated, and more emotionally balanced. Not only that, they can improve your breathing, help with migraines, ease muscle pains, improve blood circulation, and help you drift off to a deep, calming sleep.

Here’s what we did with all that.  We created a customized scent with our signature blend of 100% natural rosemary mint, orange, lavender, and cedarwood essential oils and infused them in our line of shower gels, body lotions, shampoos, conditioners and bubble baths. That’s right, we want you to be transported to a place of relaxation, rejuvenation and good health. Really rediscover yourself in the most soothing way possible.

That’s not all. We also have two other stand alone essential oil infused bubble bath choices for you other than the super combo of rosemary mint, orange, lavender, and cedarwood. Yes, you read that right. Orange gives you that refreshing citrusy goodness that really helps you relax and transports you to a place of peace and calm. It also helps to encourage deep, restful sleep and relaxes your muscle joints. Rosemary Mint boosts your mentality, encourages clarity and focus; helping you shed all the tiredness, stress, and even lessening depression. This one is a great choice that’ll leave you energetic, refreshed, and with a little less anxiety in your life.

Whatever your choice is, you can’t escape the essential goodness not only leaving your skin moisturized and less oily, but in a really nice headspace. What are you waiting for then? Scan that QR and take some home with you.
