Lavender is a must-have essential oil because of its many uses. Lavender essential oil promotes relaxation and can help with fungal infections, anxiety, depression, insomnia, menstrual cramps, eczema, & more.
We know that not all essential oils are created equal, which is why we work with Alypsis, a trusted Peterborough-based formulator. Jo Anne’s Place Essential Oils are certified organic and contain no fillers or additives.
There are many reasons why we love Routine. It’s highly effective, sustainably packaged in glass jars, Canadian-made, family-owned, and never tested on animals. It’s a great alternative to traditional deodorant because it contains only clean, wholesome ingredients – no nasty aluminum zirconium, aluminum chlorohydrate, parabens, triclosan, or propylene glycol.
Routine is applied with your clean fingers (or a tiny, clean spoon if you’d prefer). This alternative application method eliminates the possibility of bacteria from your armpits contaminating the product.
