Essential oils in ancient beauty rituals date back centuries. However, they continue to become increasingly popular as people seek out safe, non-toxic and natural skincare options. The popularity of these powerful healers stems from their ability to calm irritated skin, reduce signs of aging, improve acneic or scarred skin, and promote hydration for a clear and radiant complexion.
Go wash your hands already!
Or gift your homemade soap and share the love—not the germs.
Whether you are an expert or a beginner, using a good yoga mat spray is important. Over time your yoga mat can start to accumulate germs, bacteria and fungus which can lead to athlete's foot, plantar warts, and even ringworm. Keeping your yoga mat clean and germ free is a must.
Our Organic Protector™ Essential Oil Blend has germ-fighting and antiseptic qualities to help prevent infection and combat infections. We’ve created a DIY yoga mat spray with this protective blend to keep your mat clean so you can stay healthy and focus on the healing benefits of yoga.
A great way to use Protector is on your hands. When you are on the go, it isn’t always convenient to wash—try this all-natural hand sanitizer made with Protector oil for that extra level of protection.

Essential oils work quite well in the laundry, not just for their aromas, but for cleaning benefits as well. Just add 8-15 drops of your favorite essential oils per cap of unscented liquid detergent or 3-5 drops to the rinse cycle.
Citrus essential oils do very well with laundry because of their ability to help fight grease, stains and odor. Try our Citrus Glow™ Blend for your workout clothes (then hang to dry for maximum benefit). To disinfectant pet laundry, and kitchen towels, add the power of ourProtector™ Blend.
