✨ A little something extra… because your body doesn’t just need support at home ✨

If you love Earthworker, you’ll know… once you start using it, you want it everywhere 😌

So for a limited time—
💚 With every Earthworker balm or oil purchased, you’ll receive a FREE 30ml mini tin
If you buy the large 150ml tin you’ll get 2 free 30ml tins

Pop it in your:
🚗 car
👜 handbag
🎒 pocket
🛠 work bag

So it’s there when your body asks for it—those tired hands, sore shoulders, and “I’ve done too much today” moments.

Same beautiful blend.
Same plant power.
Just… always within reach 🌿

No code needed—just add your Earthworker to cart and I’ll tuck your mini in with love 💌

✨ Or come see me next weekend at the Teviot Community Market (10–1pm) and grab yours in person
