My grandfather had the ovens of the Holocaust behind him and felt in a nuclear armed world, we would destroy ourselves if we didn't unite across religious and ethnic divides.
He felt all the religious traditions at their msytical core were about the one true religion of Love, and tried to show that on the labels. For inspiration he drew heavily on his own Jewish upbringing, but also from many other religious and philosophical traditions.

LOVE! I think love is at the core of it, and that it takes many forms. Different things can put you in touch with the love at the heart of the universe, like dancing all night or catching a sweet wave, or just a solid hang and laugh with friends.

Yeah we had to ride through a major price spike of coconut oil in Sri Lanka, where we had set up a major fair trade coconut operation after the Tsunami hit to help rebuild the economy. We could have closed up shop and restarted a fair trade operaiton in Phillipines and saved a ton of money but chose to commit to the Sri Lankan project... and then launched what became the top selling Virgin coconut oil in the market.

Haha yes, that's definitely a favorite effect of many of our customers. Several songs have been written about the tingle... we had a tagline that we joked about but will never use "we've got ya by the balls" : ) But seriously the menthol in our organic fair trade peppermint oil activates cold-sensitive receptors in our skin, mimicking an icy feeling without actually being in cold weather!

My family's no stranger to severe depression and anxiety. Pharma drugs and traditional therapies are often inadequate, and psilocybin therapy has shown remarkable promise in clinical trials at John Hopkins, NYU, and other universities, for depression and end-of-life anxiety. FDA has recently designated the therapy "breakthrough" status, and we want to see this therapy available for those who most need it. But also for all adults struggling with the dilemmas of life, this therapy is incredibly helpful.
