A little about our ingredients
Whilst we make no medicinal claims with our products, it is known that many oils offer nourishment, hydration, protection, and lubrication to the skin and hair. Combining essential oils brings further benefits and allows us to create unique scents.
However, some natural ingredients, essential oils, may still cause sensitivity in susceptible individuals. We encourage you to do your own research if you want to know more about these oils, paying extra attention if you have any health concerns.
Whilst many essential oils come from 'natural' sources, it is worth noting these powerful oils need to be used in the correct concentration to minimise any harmful effects. This is why we ensure our blends and recipes are thoroughly assessed by an independent cosmetic assessor.
Pregnant customers and those on medication are urged to check the suitability of our products with their GP.
