What’s Inside + How It Works
What’s Inside (and Why)
Phoenix Botánica products are functional tools, not perfume. Every blend is built for a specific nervous-system state and made from a short list of ingredients we’re happy to show you. Here’s how we formulate.
The Carriers
Our rollers and oils are built on skin-loving carrier oils that dilute the actives to safe, comfortable levels:
- MCT (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): a lightweight, fast-absorbing coconut-derived oil that carries scent without greasiness.
- Jojoba: a plant wax nearly identical to skin’s own sebum — deeply conditioning and stable.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): an antioxidant that protects the blend and supports the skin barrier.
The Actives
Each blend draws on pure essential oils chosen for how they’re traditionally used to shift state:
- Lavender, Marjoram, Frankincense: grounding and calming — the backbone of our calming and sleep blends.
- Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Neroli: bright, lifting citrus and florals for composure and clarity.
- Cedarwood, Vetiver, Amyris: deep, woody anchors that steady a scattered system.
- Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Rosemary: sharp and cooling — the focus family.
Our Soaks
Our bath soaks pair magnesium-rich mineral salts with volcanic clay and botanicals for full-body recovery after high-output days.
What We Leave Out
No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no animal testing. Small-batch, handcrafted, and diluted at considered ratios — never maxed out for a stronger “hit” at the expense of your skin.
Full Transparency
Every product page lists its complete ingredient breakdown. If you have a sensitivity or allergy, read the full list and patch test before use. Questions about a specific ingredient? Email info@phoenixbotanica.com.
How to Use
Rollers: apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, temples), press, and take a slow breath. Mists: spray your space or linens and inhale. Balms: press into skin where you hold tension. Body oils: massage into tight areas. Soaks: dissolve in warm water and soak for 20 minutes. The pause is the point.
