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: 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.
