Sweet orange - Citrus Aurantium Dulcis - is actually a hybrid of a mandarin and a pomelo, and our essential oil comes from Mexico.

A ‘cheerful’ oil, it’s fragrance is known to be uplifting and works to combat stress.

Our grapefruit oil is sourced from the USA. As this is a by-product of the food industry it makes it a truly sustainable oil, helping to ensure there is zero waste. The peel oil is created using the expression method. This is the most natural method of extraction, as it does not involve heat or any extraction chemical. Expressed oils are produced by pressing the peel to physically crush and grind the oil out of the peel. The oil is then filtered to yield the pure grapefruit essential oil we use in our products (Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil). We use it for its fresh zesty aroma.

We source our organic coconut oil from a direct sourcing project in the Philippines. The project involves over 500 farmers who grow and harvest coconuts using traditional organic production methods. Once harvested, the organic coconuts are transported to a local processing facility where they are processed into high quality organic coconut oil. The value is created locally, directly benefiting communities. The oil is produced by cold pressing the flesh found inside the shell of the coconut. The project is helping to support local farmers to improve their livelihoods. By assisting the farmers with technical support and agronomists’ expertise, they access organic premiums for their crops, a welcome supplement to their household incomes. Coconut oil is rich in triglycerides which are naturally found in skin lipids. Skin lipids are critical to maintaining the skin’s protective barriers by preventing water loss & protecting skin from external aggressors. Therefore, plant oils rich in triglycerides help enhance the skin's natural barrier and protect against moisture loss. Coconut oil is quickly absorbed into the skin making it an excellent emollient. The main components of coconut oil are the saturated fatty acids lauric acid & myristic acid and it is rich in vitamin E a natural anti-oxidant.
