Research & Certification
What we
DO
and what we DON'T DO
-
We DO let you know about the most common reactions to each our organic ingredients
-
We DO show you some of the research and the impacts that have been shown under controlled settings.
-
Some research is unfortunately carried out on animals, however, we DON'T use any products or ingredients that have been directly tested on animals.
-
We DO invite you to try our organic blends, given the research, to get acquanted with how each blend interracts with your unique chemistry
-
We DON'T make wild, irresponsible or fantastic claims about healing, instant cures or one size fits all remedies.
-
We DO blend with certified organic essential oils, from organically and ethically grown plants, maximising wellness and excluding toxic artificial fragrances and additives.
Some of our ingredients
What does research say?
Blood Orange
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy for relaxation and “uplifting” effects. Research in humans and animals suggests acute benefits for anxiety, stress, and some aspects of mood, especially via inhalation, but effects are moderate and depend on context and dose.

Rose
Damask rose essential oil is a chemically complex, climate‑sensitive product dominated by citronellol, geraniol, and long‑chain alkanes. Laboratory and early clinical evidence support antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic, anxiolytic, and sleep‑promoting effects, with generally good short‑term safety for inhalation and diluted topical use. However, most efficacy data come from small or heterogeneous trials, so standardized preparations and larger studies are still needed.

Sweet Basil
Sweet basil (especially its essential oil and extracts) shows consistent antidepressant‑ and anxiolytic‑like effects in animal models, via stress‑hormone regulation, neurotrophic support, and neurogenesis. Aromatherapy in general can modestly improve mood and stress in humans, but direct clinical evidence for sweet basil itself is sparse, so it should be viewed as a promising but still experimental support for mood and wellbeing.

Cinnamon Leaf
In humans, cinnamon essential oil has the best evidence for oral antifungal therapy, adjunctive oral hygiene, and short‑term aromatherapy for nausea, with emerging support for dermatologic and cosmetic uses. Systemic metabolic and other benefits remain largely theoretical or based on non‑EO cinnamon preparations, and safety at higher doses or long‑term use is not well defined.

Frankincense
Frankincense essential oil is chemically diverse, and biologically active in lab and animal models, with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, stress‑modulating, wound‑healing and anti‑tumor properties. However, robust human clinical trial data for the essential oil itself are sparse; most strong evidence comes from test‑tube and animal work, or from boswellia resin extracts rather than the volatile oil.

Ylang Ylang
Ylang‑ylang essential oil is a complex, fragrant oil with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti‑inflammatory, analgesic and anxiolytic properties, especially promising for topical dermatologic and scalp applications and for aromatherapy in stress/anxiety. Most mechanistic and therapeutic evidence is preclinical; safe, well‑designed formulations and appropriate dosing are important to balance benefits with potential irritation or cytotoxicity at high concentrations.

Jasmine
Jasmine essential oil shows promising but still limited evidence for easing depressive symptoms and improving mood, with small clinical trials and supportive animal data. It is best viewed as a complementary aromatherapy option—potentially helpful when inhaled regularly, but not a stand‑alone treatment for clinical depression, and ideally used alongside professional mental‑health care.

Black Pepper
Black pepper essential oil offers a wide range of biological activities—most notably as an antioxidant, antimicrobial agent (including food preservation), anti-inflammatory/pain reliever, hepatoprotective compound, gut modulator, neuroprotective agent (preclinically), with emerging anticancer/metabolic support roles. While laboratory/animal data are strong across these domains—and some early human results are promising—large-scale clinical trials are needed to confirm efficacy/safety for therapeutic use.
