FAQs

Essential Oils

Q: What are single-note essential oils?

A: Oils distilled from one plant source with a pure, distinct fragrance.

Q: What is a carrier oil?

A: A gentle oil that dilutes essential oils for safe skin use. We use 100% natural, pure golden jojoba oil — cold-pressed, unrefined, and nourishing.

Q: Are Pine & Pear blends diluted?

A: Yes. All blends are pre-diluted in jojoba oil so they’re safe to use on skin.

Q: How do I use my blend?

A: Roll onto pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) or palms to inhale. You can also add a few drops to a diffuser or up to 6 drops in a bath or shower.

Q: How should I store my oils?

A: Keep tightly capped, out of direct sunlight and heat, and away from children and pets.

Q: Are there oils that are unsafe for pets?

A: Yes. Certain oils (like tea tree, wintergreen, eucalyptus, pine, and clove) can be harmful. Keep oils out of reach of animals and consult your vet if unsure.

Crystals & Gemstones

Q: Why are gemstones in the blends?

A: Each roller that is infused with crystals and gemstones are chosen for their traditional symbolism — like amethyst, believed to calm, or citrine, believed to uplift.

Q: Are the stones real?

A: Yes! All gemstones in Pine & Pear blends are authentic crystals and stones. Jessica and her Rockhound, Ovi, find and tumble many themselves!

Q: Do crystals really “work”?

A: Crystals are not medical tools, but many people enjoy their beauty and symbolism. They’re a meaningful layer to each blend, and we believe in their good vibes!

Ordering & Products

Q: How long does a 10ml bottle last?

A: Typically 3 months with regular use.

A: Custom-crafted blends are one-of-a-kind and non-refundable, but we’ll work with you to create something you’ll love!

Q: Will my custom blend ever be replicated?

A: No — custom blends are made uniquely for you.

Q: Do you make blends in-destination?

A: Yes! On special trips to Sedona or Northern Minnesota, we offer in-destination custom oils — inspired by the land, lakes, and Spirit.

Q: Why don’t you use amber bottles?

A: Our clear bottles highlight the crystals, botanicals, and artistry inside. Oils are stored away from sunlight until sold to preserve freshness.
