The holidays move fast — the parties, the shopping, the rush, the noise. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we usually forget to slow down, breathe, and actually enjoy the season.

So this year, we’re flipping the script.

From December 12th–23rd, Jade Bloom is hosting The 12 Days of Christmas — a daily holiday experience across all our social media designed to bring you joy, connection, creativity, and natural wellness in small, meaningful doses.

Every day is a new surprise: a challenge, a gift, a DIY moment, a self-care ritual, an educational snapshot, or something completely unexpected. It’s fun. It’s festive. And it’s built for people who love natural, nontoxic living — or want to start.

If you love a naturally fuller-looking pout but hate the stingy, chemical-filled glosses on store shelves, you’re going to be obsessed with this simple DIY. Using just a few nourishing ingredients and a touch of Cinnamon Essential Oil, you can create a hydrating, warm-tingle lip gloss that enhances your lips without harsh additives.

This recipe works because each ingredient actually does something for your skin—not just for the aesthetic payoff, but for long-term lip health.

Health, Healing & Happiness® brings you honest conversations about natural wellness, stress, nervous system regulation and sustainable habits. Get simple, science backed tools you can use right away to feel more grounded, supported and well.

Discover the truth about essential oil “grades.” Jade Bloom offers only 100% pure essential oils verified by GC/MS testing. Learn why terms like pharmaceutical or therapeutic grade are marketing myths, and why transparency and safety matter most.

The essential oil paper test is popular but flawed. Learn why it can’t prove purity and why GC/MS testing is the gold standard for authentic essential oils.

There’s a reason Myrrh Oil has been coveted for thousands of years—from sacred temples in Egypt to the apothecaries of early herbalists. Far from being just another essential oil, Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) is a resin-born powerhouse that smells like history itself: warm, spicy, and grounding in a way citrus and florals can’t touch. Today, it’s as relevant for your skincare shelf as it once was for ancient altars.

So, what makes Myrrh Essential Oil worth a spot in your routine—and how do you actually use it?

Dry patches one day, breakouts the next? Skin that reacts to everything? Jojoba Oil might be the missing piece in your routine.

Unlike most plant oils that sit on top of your skin or clog your pores, Jojoba Oil actually mimics your skin’s natural sebum—which means it works with your body, not against it. It balances oily zones, softens dry areas, calms irritation, and never feels greasy.

Oh—and it doesn’t go rancid in three months like most natural oils. This stuff lasts.

Whether you’re building a stripped-back skincare routine or looking for a smarter carrier oil to blend with your favorite essential oils, Jojoba Oil is the one that always gets it right.

If you’re looking for a single oil to simplify your skincare and haircare routine, meet Marula Oil. Cold‑pressed from the kernels of the Sclerocarya birrea tree—native to Southern Africa—Marula Oil is often called “liquid gold” for good reason. With a silky, lightweight feel and a nutrient-rich profile, it works beautifully for nearly every skin and hair type.

If you’ve used witch hazel before, you probably remember that sharp, drying sensation. That’s not the plant itself—it’s the alcohol. Most conventional witch hazel products are made by soaking the bark, leaves, and twigs of Hamamelis virginiana (the witch hazel shrub) in ethanol to pull out the active compounds. While effective, this method can strip your skin’s natural oils and leave it tight, especially with repeated use.

But witch hazel doesn’t have to sting. In its purest form, witch hazel is a hydrosol—a gentle, plant‑distilled water created when the shrub is steamed to release its beneficial oils and waters. Hydrosols carry the soothing tannins, antioxidants, and trace vitamins from the plant in a water‑based solution, without the harsh burn of alcohol.

Jade Bloom’s Witch Hazel captures this true hydrosol form: 100% pure, alcohol‑free, non‑GMO, and ethically sourced from USA‑grown Hamamelis virginiana. It’s skin‑loving enough for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Your immune system faces a lot every day, from seasonal threats to invisible germs. That’s why we created two powerhouse blends with very different personalities. Protect is bold and warming, built on spicy classics like clove and cinnamon. Defend is fresher and softer, layering citrus and lavender into its antimicrobial mix. Both are designed to help you breathe cleaner air, keep your home purified, and support your body’s natural defenses—without relying on synthetic chemicals.

Here’s how they work, what the science says about their ingredients, and how to choose the one that fits your routine.
