The Oils That Shape Every Somic Formula
At Somic, scent is never added for effect. It’s chosen with purpose ~ to support the body, the nervous system, and the ritual of care itself.
Across the entire Somic range, we use 100% organic, botanically derived, sustainably sourced essential oils and absolute oils. No synthetic fragrance. No carriers added purely for dilution. No hidden ingredients. What you see, smell, and feel is nature, distilled.
The colour of our products reflects the natural pigments of the botanicals themselves, a quiet reminder that nothing artificial has been added.
Essential Oils & Absolute Oils ~ What’s the Difference?
Essential oils are typically extracted through steam distillation or cold pressing, capturing the aromatic compounds responsible for a plant’s scent and functional properties.
Absolute oils are produced using a gentler extraction method, often reserved for delicate botanicals. They offer deeper, warmer, and more nuanced aromatic profiles, closer to the living plant.
Across the Somic range, we use both. Each oil is chosen intentionally, based on what best supports the formula and the experience it’s designed to offer.
Purity, Sourcing, and What “Organic” Really Means
When it comes to essential and absolute oils, quality is shaped by more than scent alone.
“Pure” refers to an oil that is undiluted and free from synthetic additives, while “organic” reflects how the plant was cultivated under certified standards. Both matter ~ and together, they help ensure integrity from soil to bottle.
We partner with trusted growers and distillers, prioritising botanicals cultivated with respect for soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable practices. Traceability and careful selection help ensure what’s in the bottle truly reflects the plant it came from.
Why You’ll Never See “Fragrance” at Somic
In many beauty products, the words fragrance, perfume, or parfum can legally hide dozens, sometimes hundreds, of undisclosed synthetic chemicals, including phthalates, compounds commonly used to help scent last longer.
At Somic, we don’t believe in loopholes. Every aromatic ingredient is clearly listed, because transparency isn’t optional ~ it’s foundational.
Intentional, From Start to Finish
Scent at Somic is never designed to overwhelm or linger unnaturally. Our essential and absolute oils are chosen to feel calming and natural on the skin, gently supporting grounding, presence, and ease, before fading as real botanicals should.
This is scent as part of the formulation, not decoration.
We produce in small batches, guided by demand. Fresh products require fewer preservatives, no fillers, and no synthetic fragrance enhancers, just carefully chosen ingredients used in balance.
No synthetic fragrance.
