About

It started in Gem’s kitchen…

Over 15 years ago, I used my love of aromatherapy and obsessive research to make a completely natural balm to alleviate my mothers skin complaint and it worked.

Years on, the award winning balm has grown a loyal following and featured in a number of national magazines, newspapers and shops.

After taking a pause to focus on my new family, I am back, as of April 2024. Partly as we missed it ourselves and also the requests for more kept coming.

People like that it goes a long way and can be used almost anywhere on the body that is sore or needs nourishing.

Personal life…

In case you wanted to know a bit about me, when I’m not making balms, I enjoy family life with my partner, our toddler and our Tibetan Terrier in South Devon on the River Dart.

We love water activities including sailing, kayaking etc, any form of creativity, yoga, walking, skiing and exploring.

Life is busy, as we all know, but in my forties now, I have managed to maintain a more balanced home and work life. In fact, I love spending time with my little one - soaking it up as much as possible whilst these early years are still here.
