Ember Botanical Body & Massage Oil | 4 fl oz

Rich botanical care with the warmth of the mountain.

Ember was created for slow, intentional massage and for those moments when body care calls for something richer and more substantial.

Part of our Mountain Botanical Body Oils collection, Ember begins with ginger root, calendula flowers, and cayenne grown organically or responsibly wildcrafted here on our mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

The botanicals are carefully prepared, dried, and then slowly infused with gentle, controlled heat into a rich blend of high-oleic sunflower, sweet almond, jojoba, and castor oils.

Rather than simply blending carrier oils and adding fragrance, Ember follows an older apothecary tradition: whole botanicals, carefully selected oils, gentle warmth, and time.

Each batch undergoes a seven-hour slow heat infusion, allowing the botanical material to steep gradually into the carrier oils and giving the finished blend its distinct botanical character.

There is something wonderfully old-fashioned about the process. No artificial fragrance trying to imitate warmth or spice. No shortcuts. Just real botanicals, nourishing oils, gentle heat, and seven unhurried hours.

The result is a smooth, full-bodied massage oil with a generous glide and a character inspired by the deep reds, golds, and burnished colors of autumn on the mountain.

Ginger, calendula, and cayenne give Ember a distinctly bold botanical personality, while high-oleic sunflower, sweet almond, jojoba, and castor oils provide the rich texture and glide that make it especially suited to an unhurried massage.

FROM OUR MOUNTAIN

Our botanicals begin close to home.

Calendula is grown and harvested here on the mountain, while ginger, cayenne, and the other botanicals used throughout The Mountain Apothecary are grown or responsibly gathered whenever possible, then carefully dried and stored until they are ready for a new batch.

Working with real plants means no two harvests are perfectly identical.

The color may deepen. The natural aroma may shift slightly. One harvest may create a finished oil with a somewhat different hue than the next.

We consider those variations part of the character of genuine small-batch botanical work.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION

Ember is one of four oils in our Mountain Botanical Body Oils Collection.

Wildwood is our richest everyday body-care blend, featuring calendula, plantain, violet, and chickweed.

Meadow is our lighter everyday blend, featuring calendula, clover, chamomile, and yarrow.

Stillwater is our quiet evening blend, featuring lavender, lemon balm, chamomile, and catnip.

Each oil has its own character, but all four are created using the same small-batch, seven-hour slow heat infusion process and contain no added fragrance or essential oils.
