Plant oils that do the work.

Each blend pairs nourishing carrier oils with essential oils chosen for what they do on the skin.

  • 01

    Soothes

    Arnica, marjoram and eucalyptus in the muscle and joint blends, for the aches that follow work, sport or a long day.

  • 02

    Nourishes

    Rosehip, argan and pomegranate oils in the Facial Serum, for skin that feels soft and replenished.

  • 03

    Calms

    Lavender, cedarwood and bergamot in the Pillow Spray, for winding down at the end of the day.

Three quiet minutes.

The oils and balms work best when you give them a moment. This is how Niamh suggests using them.

  1. Warm

    Take a small amount and warm it between your palms. Oils and balms spread further once they're at skin temperature.

  2. Massage

    Work it into the area with slow, sweeping movements until it has absorbed. After a bath or shower is ideal.

  3. Repeat

    Use it morning and evening, or after training. A little, often, is the way to use it.
