What motivated you to start your business and what is your vision for the future of the company?

When I first integrated essential oils into my daily routine and embraced a holistic lifestyle, the transformation in myself and my family was profound and immediate—I was captivated. Harnessing the power of all-natural remedies as our primary defense against everyday ailments became incredibly empowering. This passion for natural wellness spurred me to start sharing my homemade essential oil creations with friends and family, who not only embraced them eagerly but also clamored for more. It dawned on me that there was a potential to turn this passion into something more significant, thus sparking the inception of Little Lavender. With the invaluable support of a trusted friend, we embarked on a journey to craft a comprehensive line of essential oil-infused products. Despite launching amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, the hurdles we faced only strengthened our resolve. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for essential oils and non-toxic living with a diverse community of like-minded individuals. Today, through Little Lavender, I am privileged to extend the benefits of natural wellness to a growing clientele. Each product we offer is a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the profound impact of embracing a holistic approach to daily life. As we continue to evolve and expand, I remain dedicated to empowering others to discover the transformative potential of nature’s gifts.
