The power of plants to change how you feel
More than just gorgeous scents, essential oils have amazing super powers straight from mother nature herself! But what exactly are they?
Full of natural chemical compounds, essential oils are concentrated plant extracts. They stimulate the part of your brain known as the limbic system which controls unconscious tasks such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. This also plays a part in our emotions, behaviours, sense of smell and long-term memory.
You can choose the best products to change how you feel, whether it’s providing stress relief, a calming moment or for an uplift of energy.
Peppermint
Helping to energise, clear your mind and for headache relief, our Believe Body Balm Bars contain peppermint essential oil. This powerful plant makes you feel ready to tackle anything.
Use our Believe Balm on pulse points when you need a boost, to clear your mind and calm your thoughts. Perfect for tackling a difficult problem at work or home. During exam season (now!) use it to maintain calm whilst studying or just before an exam.
Bergamot
Another perfect oil for an energy uplift and concentration boost, the Bergamot essential oil can encourage positive feelings, energise, elevate mood, and reduce stress. In alternative medicine it is also commonly used to treat headaches and chronic fatigue.
Bergamot essential oil also has some fantastic additional characteristics. It is antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antispasmodic, and analgesic (pain killer)! You’ll find bergamot in our Serene Body Balm Bar.
Frankincense
This wonderful essential oil can alleviate anxiety, ease stress and provide wonderful moments of calm. Light our Aurora luxury candle or pop some Aurora Moment wax melts into a warmer, breathe in deep and feel your anxieties melt away.
Geranium
If you struggle to unwind and sleep, geranium essential oil is the one for you. Wipe away any sadness and tension from your day and feel balanced. Geranium essential oil is one of the best oils for reducing stress and anxiety. It has a positive impact on your emotions by creating a calming and grounding effect. It also has insect repelling properties – bonus!
Our Sunkissed luxury candle and Moment wax melts are a gorgeous blend of eucalyptus, geranium and sweet orange – currently our most popular fragrance! Use for a zen-like spa experience and scent in your home.
