Our story

Hi, I’m Jody, the founder of Gabriella Oils. My journey into natural skincare began in 2018, right in my own kitchen. What started as a way to provide my family and friends with healthier, more natural alternatives to mass-produced skincare has grown into a business built on passion and a love for nature’s remedies.

From the very beginning, I believed that Mother Nature offers the best solutions for healthy, glowing skin. Frustrated with the chemicals found in most skincare products, I started experimenting with ingredients that could be sustainably sourced from the countryside around me. Living near the beautiful Cheshire countryside, I had access to therapeutic plants like eucalyptus, wild rose, lavender, and rosemary—ingredients that not only work wonders for the skin but also offer natural healing benefits.

As I perfected my recipes, I knew I wanted to share these natural creations with more people. That’s when Gabriella Oils was born. Named after my middle name, Gabriella, and inspired by my best friend Gabby’s constant support, I officially launched the business in February 2020. While foraging for ingredients was a wonderful start, it became clear that I couldn’t always rely on what I could gather by hand. So, I began working closely with local farmers, beekeepers, and distillers of essential oils to source the highest quality ingredients for my products.

I’m especially passionate about the process—from the harvest to the final product. There’s something magical about seeing essential oils being extracted fresh from the summer crops, and the incredible scents that fill the air.

Today, I’m proud to offer a collection of handmade soaps, candles, and more, all made in small batches with the same love, care, and attention that sparked this journey. Each product is a reflection of my dedication to natural, healthy living and respect for the world we live in.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy exploring my products as much as I enjoy creating them.
