There’s a vast amount of grey area surrounding - it seems that everyone is making black and white statements on either side of the argument such as, “Essential oils are poison” vs “you can rub essential oils all over your body”. How does one approach making senses of it all?

What are essential oils?
The term essential oils is used when speaking about concentrated aromatic compounds derived from plants. These aromatic concentrations can be collected through , , , or . Essential oils are not like other oils we are familiar with - most are volatile, meaning they evaporate into the air. They are highly concentrated and expensive (when quality and unadulterated)

Where does SOS stand?
In most cases, essential oils are overused in the . Just because they are naturally derived does not mean that they should be used without precaution.

Essential oils are the most potent form of plant medicine in terms of sheer strength - which is why we often say that they should be respected as a form of medicine. They can be extremely effective but they can also be used improperly and/or be adulterated and counterfeit.

In the scientific paper “Essential oils and their single compounds in cosmetics - a critical review” the vast array of powerful singular compounds in oils such as , and show powerful , , healing, sun blocking and properties - even going as far as comparing 1% dilutions of these essential oils to topical medications commonly used by dermatologists.

Because of their strength, essential oils should always be used diluted. Our product's contain 0.5-1% (at max) of essential oils because we understand that while they are powerful and must be used with care.

At very low percentages, high quality essential oils can have targeted benefits and can even enhance the penetrative power of other nutrients within a blend.

Used at greater potencies and this powerful medicine can cause photosensitivity, disrupt elasticity integrity, and cause burning or irritation.

Nature must be respected

As creators, craftswomen, and conscious business women, our vision to create a potent plant powered line entailed more that just WHAT our product would be but also extended into HOW we wanted to show up as a business, what our ethics were, and how we wanted to give back and be part of a symbiotic ecosystem.

Our skincare is made with in mind, born out of a living intelligent system that we are honored to cultivate and bring forward through our blends. The way we approach our research and development of a product is the same way we approach our sourcing and our interaction with the systems around us.

The terms and have become fancy selling points but often fall short of expectation. While we ourselves source organic and wildcrafted ingredients, we choose to work with vendors and farms who have a connection to the land - we like to call this the factor.

This is a photo of our co-owners son at Maciel Organic Family Farmarms - a biodynamic small family operation in San Diego where we source our dandelion and calendula. Pesticides & herbicides have never touched their soil and their growing operation is focused on cultivating sustainable ecosystems - they plant each seed by hand and we are so honored to work alongside them!

When we say that we LOVE oil based skincare we’re usually met with two reactions…

“Wow, I wish everyone knew about this! ”

OR

“Won’t oil clog my pores?!”

We have been oil converts for years. Years that were full of “unlearning” the toxic beauty standards and myths many of us were indoctrinated into.

SCARS & HEALING 🩹skin can take some time to fully regenerate and heal after trauma. Some scars will heal raised, flat, dark, or textured. A few things said to help the process is hydrating, good nutrition, keeping the wound clean and sleep... yes sleep! After the wound heals and closes that’s when a good serum, some exfoliation, and massaging the area can help even more 🪄
