Why These Essential Oils?

Our Spicy Stick includes a blend of powerful, aromatic essential oils that have been traditionally used in body care products designed for tired, overworked areas. Each oil brings its own unique sensory experience to the skin.

• Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia carterii) – Known for its warm, resinous scent, frankincense is often used in massage and body oils. It contributes to a feeling of grounding and relaxation, making it a favourite in products designed to unwind after physical activity.
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil) –  With its crisp, invigorating aroma, eucalyptus is commonly used in body balms and salves to create a refreshing and awakening sensation on the skin. It’s often chosen for its clean, cool feel during massage.
• Cajeput Essential Oil (Melaleuca cajuputi leaf oil) – Cajeput has a fresh, camphor-like aroma and is traditionally used in massage blends for its warming, stimulating effect on the skin. It helps create a comforting experience when applied to areas that feel tight or fatigued.
• Camphor Essential Oil (Cinnamomum camphora wood oil) – Camphor brings a signature cooling–warming sensation, often associated with classic sports rubs and body balms. It’s frequently used in formulations to refresh the skin and awaken the senses.
• Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha piperita oil) – Peppermint is widely appreciated for its sharp, minty aroma and its ability to provide a cooling, tingling sensation on the skin. It’s often included in products intended for a refreshing and revitalizing application after movement or exertion.

Together, these essential oils help create a comforting, aromatic experience perfect for those moments when your body needs a little extra attention and care—especially after a long day or physical activity.
