ABOUT


ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS IN OHIO


Earth Philosophy produces Topical herbal and essential oil blends in Ohio. Our premium products are ready to use for Wellness + Skin Care applications. They are applied to targeted areas of the body for natural relief of common symptoms and everyday body care.


Our company founder, Rachel DuFresne, studied ethnobotany at Ohio State University. The inspiration for a line of ready made essential oil blends to combat everyday symptoms was born while living in the South of France in 2012.

In 2013 created Earth Philosophy based on the belief that plant knowledge is innate in all cultures, given how plants greatly support human biology. It is important to preserve this culture through practice, and make it readily available; especially since plant extracts in our society are becoming increasingly synthetic.


We follow a simple philosophy when making our therapeutic essential oil blends: “Sustain nature, as nature sustains you.”

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
