Alice & Astrid's philosophy is about taking time out of our busy lives to enjoy more intimate moments, unwinding, slowing down and the appreciation of natural and fine materials and how these can make you feel, working with our senses to create calm and uplifting experiences.

Hand made in North Yorkshire, using the best raw materials, natural soy wax, coupled with the perfect mix of 100% pure essential oils.  Personally hand blended, Restore is a gorgeous blend of lavender, geranium, palmarosa and sweet orange to calm and restore mind, body and soul.

The therapeutic benefits of essential oils have been well documented over the centuries, not only do they beautiful smell but provide an aromatherapeutic experience; to calm, to destress or to energise and revive, bringing a wealth of mind & body benefits targeting mood, cognitive, psychological or physical well-being.
