Not all essential oils are created equal – read more about the benefits of our therapeutic grade, plant-powered, earthy aromas.

Why choose essential oil aromas over synthetic fragrances?
We create soaps with the inclusion of essential oils and botanicals, instead of synthetic fragrances or perfume. We do this for three main reasons:

Because natural botanical extracts do not contain any chemical, toxic or synthetic ingredients and align with our clean, pure, and plant-based brand mission
Because natural botanical extracts contain more than just scent, they contain additional healing benefits for skin, hair, beauty and overall wellness
Because natural botanical extracts as aromas simply smell better than imitating perfumes
What’s the difference? Essential oils and botanical extracts are derived from plants for a multitude of benefits. Synthetic ‘fragrances’ or ‘perfumes’ are an unknown mixture of undisclosed ingredients created purely as a scent and can be found in most mainstream beauty, cleaning, and household products. Many brands that encourage greenwashing will replace an essential oil known for its unique benefits with a synthetic imitation of the oil and still call it ‘natural’ or ‘aromatherapy’. Be sure to read your ingredients listings to clarify.

The EWG states that “When you see ‘fragrance’ on a personal care product’s label, read it as “hidden chemicals. A major loophole in FDA’s federal law lets manufacturers include nearly any ingredient in their products under the name “fragrance” without actually listing the chemical.” Chemical ingredients that hide behind the umbrella term “fragrance” have been linked to hormone disruption, reproductive issues, allergy triggers, and more. By choosing organic and natural essential oils and botanical extracts instead of chemical fragrances, you are choosing to use the power of nature and avoid the potentially toxic ingredients lurking in mainstream body care.
