Whenever I’m building a new remedy, I carefully consider the essential oil profile. Essential oils aren’t just aroma-therapeutic - they carry specific benefits when applied correctly to the skin.
Too much, and they can overwhelm or even irritate. Too little, and their power is lost.
So, as I was concepting ABLE, I wanted to invigorate the body while nourishing the face… a delicate balance. I’ll discuss all things lemongrass and eucalyptus another day, but today I wanted to share more about why I chose peppermint as an unusual yet key component for boosting glow and overall beauty for face and body. It’s gentle yet perfectly invigorating in this blend. I love it so much.
Peppermint is:
1. Cooling & Soothing
Peppermint contains menthol, which gives a cooling sensation and can help reduce the discomfort of itching, irritation, or heat. It's especially helpful for soothing inflamed or acne-prone skin.

2. Purifying
Peppermint oil has antibacterial and antifungal effects, which may help reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin, supporting clearer skin over time.

I wanted ABLE to do more than support hydration and renewal… but also spark something inside.
Peppermint was the finishing note that made it complete.
And now, every time I use it, I’m reminded that glow is more than topical, it’s energizing alchemy.
