A social enterprise with a mission, creating two essential products for our emotional and physical wellbeing, made in memory of founder Zoe’s mother.
With every sale we donate money to the following charities:
Hello Beautiful - a holistic cancer charity

We also work with AMMA, a social enterprise empowering mothers in Sri Lanka, who create the beautiful avocado-pit dyed pouches, in which we pack your products.
boobs’essential
boobs’essential is a blend of essential oils that play an important role in nurturing your breasts.
When Zoe's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in December 2014 she began extensive research into the wide-range of complementary therapies described in scientific journals. One of the topics that stood out from the research was the role of essential oils during cancer treatment, and the importance of a healthy functioning lymphatic system, for which lymph and breast massage play an important role. Having studied the science behind the key ingredients, Zoe and her late mother began experimenting with different recipes and combinations, eventually creating a truly soothing essential oil blend.
It struck Zoe that as a carefree teen and now living a hectic London lifestyle in her 20s, she had never checked her own breasts for lumps. However, since her mother's diagnosis she realised how important it was to check her breasts regularly to avoid late detection of any abnormalities and to stimulate our lymphatic system.
Zoe’s mother passed away gracefully over a year later, making the message more clear:
All women, young and old, must make checking their breasts part of their beauty and selfcare ritual.
grief balm
grief balm is a blend of soothing, heart opening essential oils that are intended to soften the pain, open your heart and calm your nerves.
Scent is one of the fastest ways to impact our emotional state, so take a few minutes to inhale and massage your pressure points, your pulses, or your heart area and use scent to initiate healing.
Packed in a beautiful handmade avocado dyed pouch, made by mothers in Sri Lanka.
We donate £1 of every grief balm to Cruse Bereavement Care, a charity that guides you through the darkest moments. After losing my mother, I was so grateful to have discovered this charity who supported me at the beginning of my grief journey.
