About Our Products
Our products are 95% to 100% natural. Our 100% natural products are either unscented or scented with essential oils, whereas our 95% natural products are scented with essential oils and/or phthalate, skin-safe fragrance oils.
Our products are all free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
While our products are 95% to 100% natural, they are not organic at this time.
Ingredients are listed in each of our product listings. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about specific products/scents.
Most of our products are vegan, with the exception of these products, which are NOT vegan at this time:

Yes! Our products are formulated with ingredients that should be gentle enough for those with sensitive skin. However, it is recommended that you test the products first on a small area (e.g. patch test).
Our products do not have expiration dates, but we recommend customers to use our products within the shelf lives below. Our products are mostly natural, and our plant-based oil ingredients can lose their efficacy over time.
- Personal Care (leave-on products including balms, body butters, lotions, massage & body oils): Shelf life of approximately 1 year.
- CBD Body Collection: Shelf life of approximately 1 year.
- Soap Bars: Shelf life of at least 2 years.
- Shower Tablets & Bath Products: Shelf life of 1 year. While these products do not expire or go bad (as they do not contain any water in the formulation), the scents can fade over time and we recommend using them sooner rather than later for stronger scents.
- ELEVATE Home Fragrance Collection (Candles & Room Sprays): Shelf life of at least 2 years.
- To preserve the efficacy of the products, we recommend storing all products at room temperature and away from direct sunlight, heat and water to extend their longevity. Improper storage of our products can lead to rancidity and texture changes.
The majority of our products are handcrafted in small batches from our warehouse in Northern California. Our products are individually filled, packaged and boxed with detailed care and attention. We take great pride in selecting premium ingredients to ensure we deliver quality products.
Our products are handcrafted using primarily high quality, plant-based ingredients. Our formulation recipes of plant-based oils and butters are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. These include ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil, green tea seed oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, cocoa butter and essential oils and/or phthalate-free fragrance oils.
Our products are paraben, sulfate and phthalate-free.
Yuzu is a Japanese Citrus fruit that is commonly described as a cross between a lemon, orange and/or grapefruit.
Our Skin & Lip Balms and Skin Balms contain natural yuzu oil, which is known to have anti-aging and antioxidant properties in skincare.
We also use phthalate-free Japanese Yuzu fragrance in an assortment of our products, including our Shower Tablets, Body Butters, Lotions, Balms and more. Our signature Japanese Yuzu fragrance is aromatic with sweet accents and bold citrus freshness. We have seen that the Japanese Yuzu fragrance has broad appeal across all genders.
