Ann The Corte The Founder

MEET THE FOUNDER

Ann De Corte

Ann's journey into aromatherapy and natural skincare began with a simple belief: that nature provides everything we need to nurture ourselves. Living on Hilton Head Island, surrounded by the beauty of the Lowcountry, she found inspiration in the botanicals, sea air, and the slow rhythm of island life.

What started as homemade gifts for loved ones soon grew into a passion project — and then a purpose.  Ann devoted herself to studying essential oils, carrier oils, and traditional botanical remedies, crafting unique formulations that address not just the skin, but the whole person.

Today, Ann's mission remains the same: to customize products for each individual's unique body, mind, and soul.  Every batch is made by hand, with intention, using only the finest organic ingredients.

HOLISTIC WELLNESS

It's Time 4 Self Love

A person with a wall of jasmines

During my visit of the San Donato farm in San Gimignano, Italy in June of 2023, this huge jasmine wall was really speaking to me. 

"As an aromatherapist, I am very much aware of using the purest materials possible. Not only is it important how my products work to heal the skin but also to calm the mind and to heal the soul.   The floral energy of jasmine for instance can boost happiness and increase confidence as well as reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and anger."

a person, the site owner, Ann De Corte

"Mid-2025, my husband and I moved from Landenberg, PA to Hilton Head Island, SC. We are grateful to have entered the best chapter of our lives.  We are enjoying every step on this journey and are embracing everything that comes on our path.
Whether I’m blending oils, playing pickleball, getting lost in a book, doing my daily beach walk, writing from the heart, or traveling to soak in new experiences, I bring presence and love to everything I do.  Inspired by the calming rhythm of the ocean and the serenity of being near the water, my approach to wellness is rooted in balance, intuition, and self-care. 

It is Time 4 Self Love!"

A Selection of Our FAQs

Popular FAQs

What is the difference between a spray perfume, a dry perfume, and a perfume oil?

The main difference is the carrier base: spray perfume is usually alcohol-based, perfume oil uses an oil base, and dry perfume is usually a solid perfume made with waxes and oils. Spray perfumes project farther, perfume oils stay closer to the skin and often last longer, and dry perfumes are the most portable and mess-free.

What are the benefits of using bath salts?

Bath salts can help with sore muscles, improve circulation, support relaxation, and promote emotional well-being through aromatherapy. When added to a warm bath, essential oils release natural scents that directly influence mood, emotions, and memory.

What is the difference between a salt scrub and a sugar scrub?

Salt scrubs are coarser and more detoxifying — ideal for thicker skin areas (feet, elbows, legs) and for those wanting a circulation-boosting, deep-cleanse treatment. Sugar scrubs are gentler, more hydrating (sugar is a humectant), and better for sensitive or dry skin and the face. Salt can sting on freshly shaved skin or cuts; sugar is less likely to irritate. Salt scrubs are ideal for vigorous polishing; sugar scrubs are best for regular gentle maintenance.

What are the shipping rates? Do you offer free shipping?

Shipping rates are based on order subtotal (before tax): orders under $40 at $10 flat rate; orders $40-$59.99 at $5; orders $60 and above ship for free.

How long does it take to process my order?

Orders are typically processed within 1-2 business days after payment is confirmed. Processing may take longer during holidays or high-demand periods, and you will be notified if that is the case.
