In our serums, our carrier & essential oils are all of the highest quality, and essential oil concentration is suitable for all skin types including those with sensitive skin. As with any new product, we recommend patch testing on a small section of skin.

Consciously Cultivated
Sourced with Integrity
Enki's in-house gardens, those of our friends and community and our international network of wild foragers form the bedrock of our sourcing philosophy. For location specific herbs, and those few that require cultivation in areas we don't operate in, we use certified organic material at a minimum.
