The Nue Co. - FRAGRANCE - Aromatherapeutic (10ml)

Product detailed description

And now imagine, Sys, that you could enjoy this feeling between meetings, before an exam, or after a challenging day with your kids. The Nue Co. team hid a recipe for calm in this bottle of aromatherapeutic spray. Thanks to that, you can inhale a fresh, gently woody scent that will remind you of a morning walk in the woods in moments of impatience and elevated stress. In this fragrant symphony, the main notes are bergamot, benzoin, cedar, pine tree, and patchouli. FOREST LUNGS was formulated with patented olfactory technology that replicates beneficial phytoncides, compounds produced naturally by trees and plants that make us feel so blissful in nature. In short… When you feel anxious and forests are out of reach, FOREST LUNGS is here for you.

Urban folk

Did you know that the average American spends about 90% of their time indoors? That number is probably not very different in the Czech Republic. Moreover, prognoses estimate that by 2050, 75% of the world population will be living in cities. 

However, nature acts as a power source for us, demonstrably supporting our physical and mental health. Spending time in nature stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety. FOREST LUNGS is formulated for those moments when you cannot escape outdoors, even though your mind desperately needs it. It replicates natural compounds produced by plants and trees that make us feel so blissful in the woods.

Forest bathing anytime, anywhere

The sense of smell is one of the most sensible human senses. It also has the most powerful connection with the unconscious and long-term memory where we store our memories. The molecules of the active compound from essential oils travel from the nose down olfactory nerves into the limbic system in the brain. There it affects our emotions, behaviour, but also long-term memory, for example. Scents can thus affect our emotional state incredibly fast.

FOREST LUNGS was inspired by the Japanese concept of forest bathing. Spending time in nature stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, making us feel calmer as our stress fades away. The FOREST LUNGS fragrance was formulated using a patented olfactory technology that replicates the beneficial phytoncides, natural compounds produced by trees.

An ingenious combination of natural and nature identical fragrances

FOREST LUNGS contains a combination of sustainable natural extracts, essential oils obtained by steam distillation, and safe synthetic nature identical fragrances. If the manufacturer opted for a 100% natural ingredient list, the environmental and social aspects of the production process would suffer. How come?

Many extracts in this blend come from rare plants, and using them would put an unnecessary strain on the environment. In those cases, the producer prefers to use nature identical fragrances. The formula is non-toxic, does not contain parabens, phthalates, hexanes, or synthetic musk based on nitroaromatic or polyaromatic compounds.

What scents can you look forward to?

• Bergamot: A rather pungent and fresh citrus smell.
• Benzoin: A warm resin scent with notes of vanilla.
• Pine tree: A fresh and earthy scent.
• Patchouli: A richly earthy and woody scent.
• Cedar: Warm and citrusy.
• Vetiver: A rich smoky scent.

Ingredients from ethical and sustainable production

At The Nue Co. they like transparency. All their ingredients are easily traceable in the supplier chain, so you can rest assured that they are ethically and responsibly obtained.

Indonesian patchouli essential oil comes from a foundation that uses energy efficient distillation stills to produce oil sustainably. As part of the project, the supplier also provides training for local workers in good agricultural, administration and financial processes, allowing communities to grow sustainably and independently.

They get cedarwood from an upcycling programme in Morocco. The scent is extracted from sawdust, usually a waste product of the furniture industry, using molecular distillation.

Vetiver from Haiti, from local farmers, supporting people from no less than three villages. The suppliers of both vetiver and cedarwood have both achieved the Ecocert Fair for Life certification, which guarantees fair prices, working conditions, and full traceability of all ingredients.

Benzoin comes from Laos. Around 40,000 farmers participate in harvesting the resin, and new schools were established in the area to support families in the community.

Bergamot oil from Calabria, Italy where local farmers grow the fruit responsibly.
