Formulation Standards

Guided by whole-plant aromatherapy and evidence-based wellbeing.

At Repose Rituals, every formula is expertly formulated in-house with uncompromising care, guided by nature and backed by evidence. We believe wellbeing products should be both effective and safe—free from hidden toxins, unnecessary fillers, or shortcuts that compromise integrity.

This is why we formulate exclusively with full-spectrum, whole essential oils, never isolates. While isolates can deliver a stronger scent or lower production costs, we believe true aroma therapeutics should reflect the intelligence of the whole plant. Each essential oil contains a synergistic matrix of constituents—an “entourage effect” that supports deeper therapeutic benefit. We prioritize efficacy, safety, and vibrational integrity over cost or consistency of scent.

Safety First

We align with the strict safety principles set by independent organizations such as the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the Credo Clean Standard, and COSMOS natural certification frameworks. These groups represent some of the most rigorous benchmarks in the world for ingredient safety and environmental stewardship.

Important to note: We are not formally affiliated with or certified by these programs. Instead, we voluntarily adopt their principles as part of our internal standards, ensuring every product is held to the same level of stringency and transparency.

What This Means in Practice

  • No synthetic fragrance, petrochemicals, or fillers — only full-spectrum, whole essential oils and plant actives.
  • Every essential oil is GC/MS tested for purity, chemotype, and therapeutic composition.
  • Preservation with integrity — only natural, plant-based preservatives when needed.
  • Sustainable sourcing — prioritizing organic, COSMOS-approved, and ethically harvested botanicals, supporting biodiversity and farmer communities at the source.
  • Biophotonic packaging — violet glass protects vibrational and chemical integrity, extending shelf life without synthetic stabilizers.

Always Free From

  • Parabens, phthalates, PEGs
  • Sulfates or silicones
  • Synthetic fragrance or “natural fragrance oils” (lab-constructed aroma blends)
  • Petrochemicals or mineral oils
  • Formaldehyde donors or phenoxyethanol

Our Guiding Formulation Philosophy

We see aromatherapy as a supportive mind–body therapy for wellbeing. For it to be effective, each blend must be made from pure, high-quality natural ingredients, formulated at optimum dilutions, and offered in formats that allow the oils to be applied in the most beneficial way. Just as important, they must also smell beautiful — because aroma itself is part of the therapeutic experience, shaping mood, memory, and emotion. By uniting therapeutic precision with sensory enjoyment, we create formulas that work on every level: body, mind, and spirit.
