ICYMI: Our latest newsletter and journal post are all about the art of ✨slugging✨

Traditionally, slugging has relied on petroleum-based products to create this protective seal. While effective at preventing moisture loss, these products serve solely as a barrier—rather than contributing additional nourishment to the skin. For those seeking a more botanical approach, plant oils and waxes can offer the same moisture-sealing benefits alongside naturally occurring antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids.
One of our newest arrivals, Olea’s Castor Blend Solid Serum, offers a natural and effective take on the practice. Formulated with organic castor oil, black seed oil, vitamin E, and beeswax, it creates a breathable occlusive layer while delivering nourishing botanical ingredients to the skin. The solid format is also plus, for travel and at home.

How to Slug:
Whether your skin feels depleted after a day in the sun, stressed from travel, or simply in need of extra support, slugging can be a simple way to help restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Cleanse your skin as usual.
• Layer your hydrating serums &/or moisturizers.
• As the final step in your evening routine, warm a small amount of Olea’s Castor Blend Solid Serum or Monastery’s Attar Floral Repair Concentrate between your fingertips. Gently press it onto the skin, focusing on areas prone to dryness or irritation
• Leave on overnight and cleanse as usual in the morning
​
Happy, healthy, hydrated skin!

The Gemini New Moon arrives on June 14 at 10:54 PM EST, opening a fresh cycle centered around connection, curiosity, communication, and new possibilities.

With both the Sun and Moon in Gemini, this lunation encourages us to explore new ideas, seek meaningful conversations, and remain open to perspectives that expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It’s a potent time for planting seeds around learning, creativity, community, and authentic self-expression.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, we are moving through the energy of Summer—the season of the Heart and Fire element. As Yang energy reaches its peak, we’re invited to cultivate joy, nourish connection, and balance outward activity with moments of reflection and presence.

This new moon asks:
✺ What conversations need to be had?
✺ What truth is ready to be spoken?
✺ What connections are ready to deepen?
✺ What new path is calling for your attention?

Support this energy through journaling, mindful conversation, herbal tea rituals, time spent outdoors, and practices that help calm the mind while opening the heart.

May this lunar cycle bring greater clarity, meaningful connections, and the courage to follow your curiosity.

Gua Sha Oil from Boketto LAB is an exceptional oil with a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory blend of ingredients.

Created to deliver the optimal ”slip” needed for effective Gua Sha massage, the base of Organic Infused Safflower Oil has an uncanny ability to fight acne, hyperpigmentation, and UV damage— while also hydrating your skin like a boss.

The addition of Dragon’s Blood Extract has been shown to help improve blood circulation and minimize inflammation. Dragon’s Blood has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat injuries and pain. Topically, it assists in wound repair and soothing inflamed skin. It has also been found to have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

Another anti-inflammatory powerhouse, Goji Berry, also promotes collagen and elastin production, as well as reduces hyperpigmentation and oxidative stress.

Last, but not least… the scent of our Proprietary Essential Oil Blend encourages you to take a moment, inhale deeply, and ground. (Do take that moment ;-)

Suggested Use: Add a few drops on clean hands, breathe in the aroma, then apply on face, neck, and decollete. Using a Gua Sha Tool, the general rule is to move lightly “up and out” — or let our free eBook, How to Gua Sha, be your guide.

Ingredients: Organic Goji Berry, Organic Infused Safflower Oil, Dragon’s Blood Extract, Boketto LAB Proprietary Blend of Essential Oils

Sizes: 2oz

Available in-store and online :)
