Description

A ritual for nightfall, The Rite of Repose is a set curated to ease you into rest and renewal each evening. Sleeping Beauty Solid prepares the body for deep, restorative sleep by creating a nightly sensory ritual where you form an association between scent and rest. It is a blend of time-honored botanicals known to calm the nervous system, including high-altitude French lavender, grounding balsam fir, and pure farm-distilled mint. Hebe Night Oil is a luxurious bedtime facial oil created with blueberry and red raspberry, antioxidant-rich fruits that support vitality, radiance, and cellular repair while you sleep. The Teotihuacán Obsidian Sculpting Tool is designed to deeply press your night oil into the skin, release tension, and stimulate circulation. Hand carved from obsidian, a volcanic glass long revered by ancient civilizations for its purported ability to clear negative energy, the cool stone and the gentle aromatherapy together help to create a nightly practice of restoration and guide the body and mind toward calm and quiet.

Sleeping Beauty Solid is a perfumed solid scented with the cooling, clarifying energy of peppermint, the quiet steadiness of balsam fir, and the soft, floral serenity of lavender, botanicals revered for centuries in folklore as calming and protective. Our complex lavender grows at high elevations in the French Alps and is harvested and distilled by a female owned floral farm in Nice whose workers and apprentices are partially hired from a local school for troubled youth, sent to the farm for emotional healing. Our farm distilled peppermint comes from the oldest, continuously family operated mint farm in the United States.

In ancient rites, berries were gathered not only as nourishment but as charms for youth, strength, and second sight, deep jewel-toned vessels of hidden power brimming with the sun’s stored vitality. To anoint the face with them was to call upon this quiet magic, a ritual of renewal. A berry blend inspired by this storied history, Hebe is cell-regenerating red raspberry seed oil and blueberry oil to improve the skin's firmness and elasticity.

Our hand carved, pure Teotihuacán obsidian tool is used for facial massage and sculpting because it can help to increase circulation and stimulate lymphatic drainage. The deep black obsidian is mined communally in the Mexican state of Hidalgo and worked by hand in a workshop near the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacán. A smooth, glass-like volcanic rock, obsidian has been a tool of healing for thousands of years and is said to counter fear, anxiety, and anger, and to clear negative energy from the psyche.
