We also avoid using synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives in our products. You can check our ingredients with the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Guide to Cosmetics
3. Are your products safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! We carefully formulate our products with sensitive skin in mind. However, we always recommend performing a patch test first, especially if you have allergies to any specific ingredients. Our products are free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and parabens, making them gentle and safe for most skin types.
4. How do I use the Lotion Stones?
Simply glide the Lotion Stone over your skin after a shower or bath, or whenever you need some hydration. The stone melts slightly with the warmth of your skin, releasing a combination of botanical-infused oils. Massage the oils in, and enjoy the smooth, nourished feel. No need for any additional lotions or moisturizers!
5. What makes your tooth powders different?
Our tooth powders contain nano-Hydroxyapatite, a mineral that naturally rebuilds and strengthens enamel. It’s fluoride-free, gentle on teeth, and safe for children. Our formula also includes high-quality essential oils like peppermint, orange, and eucalyptus. These food grade essential oils give you a refreshing taste without the harshness of traditional toothpaste.
6. What is Hydroxyapatite and why is it used in your tooth powders?
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, and it’s the main component of human bones and teeth. In dental care, nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHA) is known for its ability to remineralize enamel, repair damage, and reduce tooth sensitivity.
Here’s how it helps:
- Enamel Restoration: Nano-Hydroxyapatite fills in microscopic cracks and helps rebuild enamel, giving your teeth a smoother, stronger surface.
- Tooth Sensitivity Relief: It provides a protective layer on your teeth, helping to block external stimuli that cause discomfort.
- Fluoride-Free and Safe for Children: Unlike fluoride-based products, nano-Hydroxyapatite is gentle, effective, and safe for people of all ages.
- Safe for Natural Tooth Care: It’s the only form of Hydroxyapatite that is globally recognized as safe for use in oral care by the European Union.
7. Can I use your products if I have allergies?
We strive to accommodate various allergies and sensitivities. Some of our products do contain ingredients like essential oils and plant extracts that can cause reactions in some individuals. We recommend checking the ingredient list carefully and performing a patch test before using any product for the first time.

14. Magnesium Butter or Oil: What’s the difference?
Magnesium butter and magnesium oil both provide the benefits of magnesium transdermally. They are both absorbed through the skin, but come in different forms to suit various preferences.
- Magnesium Butter: Our Magnesium Butter is a rich, creamy formula that hydrates and nourishes the skin while delivering magnesium. It’s perfect for those who prefer a thicker, more moisturizing texture. It’s great for areas that need extra care, like dry skin or muscle soreness. Formulated with magnesium chloride, cocoa butter, premium oils, essential oils and botanical extracts.. It soothes the skin while supporting muscle relaxation and stress relief. It’s a butter, keep it cool, under 85° F
- Magnesium Oil: Our Magnesium Oil comes in a convenient 1.2 oz roll-on bottle, providing an easy, mess-free application. This lightweight, fast-absorbing oil is ideal for targeting specific areas like sore muscles or tension spots. Made with magnesium chloride, premium oils, arnica and Opti-MSM. They deliver the benefits of magnesium and arnica while moisturizing and calming your skin. It’s a roll-on oil so you can keep it in your purse, bag or where ever.
Which one should I choose?
- Use Magnesium Butter if you prefer a moisturizing, rich formula and want a soothing, luxurious experience. (Keep it cool)
- Use Magnesium Oil if you prefer a lighter texture and need a fast-absorbing option for relief, with a roll-on for convenience and precision. (Doesn’t care about being so cool)
Both products deliver the same benefits of magnesium to support muscle relaxation, stress relief, and better sleep.
