The oil for when you need to stop. Actually stop.
Some days you need energy. This isn't for those days. This is for the ones where your shoulders are up around your ears, your mind won't quiet down, and your body is holding tension you didn't even know you were carrying. This is the oil that says: enough. Sit down. Breathe.
The base is three organic carrier oils that do the physical work. Extra virgin olive oil for deep nourishment. Sweet almond oil for silky glide. Apricot kernel oil for absorption that doesn't leave you slippery. Together they create the perfect medium for massage, whether you're working out knots yourself or someone else is doing the honors.
Then comes the blend that makes this meditative. Lavender to calm what's racing. Cedarwood to ground what's scattered. Rosewood to ease what's tight. Sandalwood to deepen what's shallow. Four oils that have been used for centuries in meditation practices, now in a formula that works on your muscles while it works on your mind.
"I blended this for the end of the day. That moment when you finally close the laptop, put down the phone, and remember you have a body. These four oils are what I reach for when I need to transition from doing to being. Lavender starts the unwinding. The woods finish it. By the time the scent fades, you're somewhere else entirely."
Why You'll Love This Body Oil
- The scent actually does something. This isn't just "smells nice." Lavender, cedarwood, rosewood, and sandalwood are proven aromatics for calming the nervous system and easing mental chatter.
- Light enough to absorb, rich enough to work. The oil glides for massage without leaving you greasy. No staining problems on sheets or clothes when you let it absorb.
- Works on tension you can feel and tension you forgot you were holding. Use it after a workout, before bed, or anytime your body needs permission to let go.
- Multi-use by design. Massage oil, post-shower body serum, bath oil. One bottle handles your whole unwinding ritual.
- The lavender leads, the woods ground. It's floral enough to feel soft, woody enough to feel substantial. Not sweet, not heavy. Just calm.
This Is Why We Do It
"This is my favorite of all the oils. Love & Friendship is a close second, but you can't beat this lavender."
The Ritual
As a body oil: Apply to damp skin after showering. The warmth opens your pores; the oil seals in moisture. Focus on shoulders, neck, and anywhere you hold stress.
As a massage oil: Warm between your palms first. Work into sore muscles with intention. The scent will deepen as your hands generate heat. Breathe it in.
As a bath oil: Add a capful to warm running water. The oils disperse and coat your skin as you soak. Dim the lights. This is your meditation now.
Key Ingredients
- Lavender Essential Oil
- The great calmer. Balances emotions, eases anxiety, and tells your nervous system it's safe to stand down. The backbone of this blend.
- Cedarwood Essential Oil
- Grounding and focusing. Clears mental fog while promoting a sense of stability. The anchor that keeps lavender from floating away.
- Rosewood Essential Oil
- From the Amazon, prized for easing muscle tension and relieving stress. Woody-floral, warm, and quietly powerful.
- Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil
- The meditator's oil. Promotes stillness, deepens breath, and creates space for quiet. Sustainably sourced from Australia.
Complete Your Ritual
Build the full unwind. Customers who buy this oil also grab the Lithia Park Soap for a forest-bathing shower before the massage. The Lavender Soap is another favorite pairing if you want to double down on calm. And if you deal with actual muscle soreness, not just mental tension, try the Warming Tension Relief oil. Different tool, same ritual.

Q: Why does this smell so different from typical lavender products?
A: Because lavender isn't flying solo here. Cedarwood, rosewood, and sandalwood add depth and grounding. It's less "lavender field" and more "quiet cabin in the woods." The result is warmer, woodier, and more meditative than floral-forward lavender products.
Q: Can I use this before meditation or yoga?
A: Yes, and many customers do. Apply a small amount to your temples, wrists, or chest before practice. The sandalwood especially has been used in meditation traditions for centuries. The scent creates a sensory cue that tells your brain it's time to slow down.
Q: How much should I use for a full-body massage vs. daily moisturizing?
A: For massage, warm about a tablespoon between your palms and work section by section. The oil has good glide so you don't need to constantly reapply. For daily body oil after a shower, half that amount is plenty. Apply to damp skin and it spreads further.
