Each oil blend comes with recommendations for application. The average application is 2 pumps. Please read the blend’s specific product description to learn more.

Our blends are designed at dilution levels that are safe for daily use. It is absolutely true that essential oils, when applied neat – with no dilution – can often be too strong and even potentially toxic in some cases. We have designed with this in mind. We want you to be able to experience the cumulative effects of daily use, without putting yourself at risk.

Everyone is different, so go with your instinct. We’ve had people re-order the same oil over the span of a year as they work with that intention very deeply. We’ve also had folks that use one bottle and feel like they’ve integrated the shift that they were seeking. This is the best part of the process: developing your own intuition about the oils.

Absolutely. Our line of blends is designed for this very thing. We often find that people will be working with a few intentions at one time, layering the oils or using one in the morning, one at nighttime. Trust yourself to know when you’ve hit your limit!

We recommend that you store your blends in cool places, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Heat degrades oils over time, some more than others, and we want your blend to last as long as you need it to.

Each bottle contains approximately 150 pumps. For most of our blends, used as directed, this will have a 1oz bottle of your favorite oil lasting 10-11 weeks.

Please be aware that we use only natural preservatives, including non-GMO Vitamin E and some essential oils that serve this specific purpose. For this reason, the shelf life of our products is shorter than what you might be used to. Given that the oils are to be used daily, this shouldn't be an issue. However, if you do take some time off from your oils, please be sure to use them within six months of purchase. Beyond that, we cannot guarantee the freshness of your blend.

Foundational Blends are perennial — designed for daily ritual and long-term use. Each formula addresses an enduring quality of attention: grounding, presence, surrender, emergence. They don't change with the seasons and are available year-round.

Seasonal Blends are released four times a year, in alignment with the Equinox and Solstice thresholds. Each edition is channeled specifically for that season's energy and invitation — a limited-edition companion for the three months ahead. Once they sell out, they're gone!

Many people work with both: a Foundational Blend as their daily anchor, and a Seasonal Blend as a layered, time-specific ally.

Start with what's alive in you right now. Are you craving stillness and grounding, or are you in a moment of expansion and change? The Foundational Collection is organized into two pathways — Ground & Restore for the inward journey, and Open & Expand for the outward one — which can help you orient quickly. Or, if you're in a significant life transition or threshold moment, the Custom Blend Experience can more specifically hone in on what you need.

If you're unsure, our sample program is a low-commitment way to explore before investing in a full bottle, particularly because we do not accept returns at this time.

This happens if the line into your pump has air bubbles in it. This can occur when you “prime” the pump for the first time, or if you tilt the bottle enough that air gets trapped in the tube. The simplest solution is to make sure that the base of the tube is fully submerged in your oil before pumping. You may have to pump 2 or 3 times to release trapped air.

And, when you get to the end of your oil, with just dribbles left in the bottom, you will absolutely experience this. We just unscrew the top and pour out the rest to get the benefit of every last drop!

Our blends are intended for external use only and should be kept out of the reach of children. Please consult your physician before using our products if you are pregnant, breast feeding, taking medications, or have other health-related questions or concerns. For more information about safety issues related to our products, please read our Terms & Conditions.

Every BodyMantra blend is hand-blended in Boulder, Colorado using the freshest available ingredients, prioritizing certified organic and wildcrafted oils. For the small number of ingredients that don't carry organic certification, we source from suppliers we know to use organic or natural farming and harvesting practices — the path to certification is often cost-prohibitive for small producers, and certification alone doesn't tell the whole story.

You will never find parabens, synthetics, or harsh chemicals in our blends. Each formula uses only natural preservatives and a thoughtful dilution of essential oils in a nourishing base, making them safe for daily use.

As an essential oil therapist, my work is to support your wellness, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment. Essential oils are potent botanical compounds; if you are managing a health condition or are pregnant, your physician knows your history best and can help ensure these oils are a safe addition to your life.

This is a myth, based on years of products on the market that featured petroleum-based ingredients and adulterated oils that are toxic and pore-clogging. High-quality, “clean” oils are fantastic for the skin. This is why we use oils like organic jojoba, avocado and coconut as the base for many of our blends. These oils are skin-friendly, ready to heal and hydrate.

Even if you label yourself as having “oily” skin, don’t shy away from using oils. Healthy oils will hydrate and balance your skin’s PH levels, which can shift your body’s tendency to over-produce oil.

People sometimes experience a detox or “release” response when working with our blends. This can happen if you are working intensively with some psychological or physical material that your body is ready to purge. If the reaction persists for more than a few days, we recommend that you stop using the oil until the outbreak subsides.

Once things have cleared, you can test things out again by applying a smaller volume. We recommend that you consider placing the oil in a different location on the body than you did previously, to see if you have the same reaction. If not, it was likely a detox response or temporary sensitivity as your body was adjusting.

However, if you have the same reaction immediately, we recommend that you discontinue use, as an allergy may be present, or the blend may be too strong for you at this stage.

I make every single blend fresh to order—there is no shelf of finished bottles of oil waiting behind the scenes—so I choose to not have a returns process. Instead, I offer samples to help you find your fit before you ever have to order a full-sized bottle. Try a Sample →

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, visit our Shipping & Returns page for details about how we can take care of that right away.

You can join our {Seasonal Launch List] to be notified when each of this year’s four Seasonal Blends is ready for pre-order.

Foundational Blends ship every Tuesday. If you place your order by Sunday evening, your blend will ship on Tuesday of that week. Once shipped, standard USPS delivery typically takes 3–5 business days depending on your location.

Seasonal Blends follow a quarterly shipping schedule aligned with the Equinox and Solstice thresholds. Pre-orders placed within the pre-order window ship on the designated date and arrive before the threshold. See the Thresholds Calendar for this season's exact dates.

Not at this time. We currently ship within the United States only. We hope to expand in the future.

Yes — and we actively encourage it because we do not accept returns at this time. BodyMantra offers samples of our Foundational and Power Animal Blends through our Samples Collection. You can order 2-4 deluxe samples for $2.50 each and receive 15% off your purchase of full-size bottles when you're ready to commit.

Seasonal Blend samples are available as an option to purchase on the product page during the season’s active ordering window only.

We LOVE sending gifts! If you're purchasing for someone else, simply enter your recipient's address in the SHIP TO field at checkout and include a short note in the order comments — we'll tuck a personalized gift card to the shipment. Keep it brief: a sentence or two is perfect. (e.g. "Dear Allyson — Sending this along to celebrate your recent success! Love, Felicity")

We also offer Gift Certificates for those who'd like to let their recipient choose their own blend, valid for one year from the date of purchase.

Never fear! You can always use the remaining balance for future purchases – our system is saavy enough to store your on-going balance details. Just enter the same Gift Certificate number the next time you check out, and the remaining balance will be applied to your order. Please note that Gift Certificates expire one year from the date of purchase.

No. There are many wonderful companies out there that distill and supply high-quality essential oils derived from one plant (think Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint), and we hope that you work with them as you feel inspired.

We are committed to contributing to the on-going health of our planet. Please join us in recycling and/or re-using as many components of your product packaging as possible:

• All product bottles – frosted & amber glass
• Kraft tissue paper
• Shipping boxes and shredded Kraft insulation
• Product inserts, gift cards and other enclosed paper items

Our Kraft krinkle-cut packing material is not dyed. Please check with your local service provider about how they deal with untreated, "shredded" paper of this kind, as it can be recycled in many urban locales, and even composted in others.

At this time, there are not any recyclable pumps on the market (the mechanism that dispenses your oil). If you are an ambitious environmentalist, visit the Pact Collective website to learn about options for recycling; they are changing the tides of health-industry waste with their progressive efforts.

Yes! We would be happy to have Kimberly Jonas, founder of BodyMantra, develop a custom blend for you. Please note that because she works intuitively, aligning the energies of your system with those of the oils she works with, your blend cannot be treated as a “design your own” creation for which you choose the oils. Learn more about the Custom Blend Experience.

That's exactly what they're for. No pressure to purchase — I'd rather you find the blend that's right for you, even if that takes trying a few.
