Product Spotlight: Bloom Gentle Arnica Muscle Rub
Seasonal changes can be hard on your body. As we transition into Spring (or Fall in the Southern Hemisphere) our activity levels often change due to new workout habits, extra physical labor around the yard and home or simply nicer weather to enjoy the outdoors. Combined with erratic weather patterns, body aches and pains can seem to come out of nowhere. Our favorite remedy for relieving muscle and joint pain is Arnica in the form of our Bloom Gentle Muscle Rub.
Bloom combines potent Arnica and soothing Rose infused in hydrating Organic Coconut Oil and Pacific Northwest Beeswax for maximum absorption. Enhanced with precious essential oils of Cardamom, German Chamomile, Rose Geranium and Helichrysum for a gently penetrating muscle rub. Bloom's aroma is complexly floral and sweet with the subtle spice of cardamom.
Bloom is designed to be well tolerated and gentle on sensitive skin. This means that the power of this balm is not necessarily felt on the skin, but deep in the muscles hours after application.
Arnica is traditionally used to ease internal inflammation, pain and bruising. It is best when applied immediately following an injury or to sore/strained muscles that are painful when used. Arnica is interesting because it increases circulation without the characteristic spice of other muscle rubs, like our cayenne-infused Gingermint Muscle Rub.
Aside from chronic pain and injury, Bloom is an indispensable aid for post-workout muscle soreness as well. Even if you're simply feeling a bit stiff, a massage with Bloom is always relaxing!
We added a bit of Cardamom Essential oil to the formula to enhance the circulatory affects without a noticeable spice. Helichrysum, German Chamomile and Rose Geranium give the balm an irresistible soft floral scent and enhance Arnica's anti-inflammatory properties.
Whether you're looking to manage joint pain, relieve post-workout muscle aches, treat injuries or simply enjoy a floral massage, Bloom Gentle Arnica Muscle Rub is perfect addition to your home's medicine cabinet.
Product Spotlight: Yule Beard Oil Conditioner
Evergreens smell amazing. Particularly when they're fresh. So, one would think that an evergreen essential oil would smell exceptionally amazing. Unfortunately, many evergreen essential oils smell very different from their fresh form and are sometimes downright acrid. The difference is like the scent of a fresh cut tree verses the stench of old pine needles caught in the vacuum cleaner. How can something so good turn so bad?
This can be a huge dilemma for the aromatherapist. Can you capture the best of a plant's smell without having too much of a good thing? We set out to answer this question when formulating Yule - our popular Limited Edition Beard Oil blend.
Yule is the festive scent of an ancient conifer forest blended to pine perfection. We took the highest quality organic and wildcrafted evergreen essential oils to bring you the best, most balanced pine tree scent you will ever find. This blend of Spruce, Cedar, Juniper and Ho Wood is not too pungent or acidic, just mellow and refreshing like a live Christmas tree in your living room.
The joyous scent of Yule is suspended in a highly absorbent, moisturizing and lightweight grapeseed oil blend ideal for the daily maintenance of the skin and beard. This concentrated leave-in conditioner is designed to hydrate skin, soften facial hair and reduce itching/irritation. We know that Yule will be right under your nose, so we keep the scent mild without overwhelming the senses.
Yule can be found in full-size 50ml bottles and is also part of our Limited Edition Sampler Set. These special scents are only available from September-February, so grab a bottle while you can!
Product Spotlight: Raven Soothing Bath Salts
Autumn is a strange season; time seems to stand still as we are held in the space between Summer and Winter. But yet, there is an unmistakable panic in the air with the collective realization that the year is coming to a close. Fall can be an especially stressful time, and nothing helps the body adjust during this seasonal transition like a long, hot bath. With it's earthy, autumnal aroma, Raven Soothing Bath Salts are our choice for a regenerative Fall soak.
Raven is a calming blend designed to detoxify the body and ease the mind. The foundation of this soak is Pink Himalayan Salt - the finest, most pure salt available - packed with over 84 minerals and trace elements that are easily absorbed through the skin. A bit of Australian Black Clay is added for its powerful ability to detoxify and cleanse.
We finish by adding our unique and popular essential oil blend, Raven: Reminiscent of the damp and diverse forests found in the Pacific Northwest. It's earthy, woodsy and cool with a subtle spice that is hard to place. A dark, grounding aroma that allows for regenerative inner clarity.
This is the same blend used in our popular
Including Raven, we offer five artisan bath salt blends to nourish, soothe and purify the body year-round.
Autumn can feel a bit disorienting as we transition into the next seasonal phase. It's important to take time for yourself during this transition to allow for reflection and revitalization. Treat yourself to a regenerative Fall bath and open yourself to all the changes that the Winter may bring.
