KEY INGREDIENTS

• ORANGE: Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
• BERGAMOT: The crisp, citrusy aroma of Bergamot is uplifting and harmonizing, making it a popular choice for diffusing. Bergamot has a crisp, woodsy, citrus aroma that is so uplifting to our moods. In fact, it has been studied for its properties to lower cortisol (stress hormone) and to lower the body's sympathetic nervous response (fight/flight/freeze), making this a wonderful oil for emotional support!
• VANILLA: Vanilla is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically! Vanilla lifts the spirits and helps with stress relief and calming the mind. It also has powerful antioxidant properties that support the immune system and body's natural response to stress and inflammation.
• When used together these ingredients are a powerful emotional tool, especially during a season where we may be busier or have more on our plates than normal!

FULL INGREDIENT LIST Citrus aurantium dulcis (Orange) peel oil, Caprylic/capric triglycerides, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) peel oil, Vanilla planifolia (Vanilla) fruit extract, Gaultheria procumbens (Wintergreen) leaf oil
