**Field Guardian is now on the site.**

This is our new **Adult Tick + Insect Repellent Body Oil** — a strong botanical outdoor blend created for adults before time in woods, gardens, tall grass, trails, desert edges, and insect-prone places.

I formulated this one to be practical, research-informed, and wearable.

It is made with:

* Lemon Eucalyptus
* Honey Myrtle
* Citronella
* Rose Geranium
* Hinoki
* Tea Tree
* Virginian Cedarwood
* Clove Bud, in a very small amount
* Neem, Jojoba, and MCT in the finished body oil

The aroma is lemony, sweet-green, rosy, clean, woody, and lightly spicy. It still smells like a serious outdoor blend, but Honey Myrtle and Rose Geranium soften the sharper edges, and I removed Patchouli from the final formula.

This is available as both:

* **Stock Blend**
* **Finished 3% Body Oil with 5% Neem**

As always, this is botanical outdoor support, not a magic force field. For heavy tick exposure or Lyme-risk areas, use common sense and layered protection: clothing, tick checks, awareness around tall grass and brush, and EPA-registered repellents or permethrin-treated clothing when needed.

But if you want a Stillpoint-level botanical outdoor blend that feels protective, grounded, and beautifully formulated — this is it.

Some stories don’t just honor the work — they name the truth behind it.
This feature dives into the heart of Stillpoint: where chemistry and consciousness meet, where intuition stands shoulder to shoulder with science, and where essential oils stop being “products” and become partners in transformation.

For decades, this has been our way —
testing every molecule,
listening to every resonance,
and choosing only what is alive, intentional, and honest.

Because healing isn’t linear.
It’s not just formulas, protocols, or charts.
It’s the moment a plant meets a person in the exact frequency they need.
It’s grief dissolving through breath.
It’s truth rising through aroma.
It’s the body remembering itself.

Stillpoint was built on that union —
science that grounds,
energetics that reveal,
and a relationship with the plants that is deeply personal.

If you’ve ever wondered what guides our hands, our sourcing, our teaching, our pouring…
this feature names it:
the synergy of method + mystery,
chemistry + soul,
drop + story.

Every bottle is both.
Every class is both.
Every moment inside Stillpoint is both.

💬 WHAT SAY YOU — have you felt the way an oil speaks to both your body and your being?

CO₂ extracts are one of the most misunderstood parts of aromatherapy.

They are not “better essential oils,” and they are not just thicker oils with a fancier name. They are their own category of plant extract, and when we understand them that way, everything changes.

CO₂ extraction can bring forward parts of the plant that steam distillation often leaves behind — deeper compounds, resins, pigments, waxes, fatty components, and more of the plant’s full-spectrum intelligence. This is why some CO₂ extracts feel so rich, so rooted, and so damn alive.

And this distinction matters.

They behave differently, formulate differently, and ask for more attention. You have to understand the chemistry, the texture, the safety, and the way the extract wants to move in a blend.

That’s the part I love — where the molecules and the mystery sit at the same table.

This article in Vents Magazine is about CO₂ extracts, full-spectrum aromatherapy, and why these plant extracts deserve more respect and less aromatherapy fluff.

Aromatherapy does not begin and end with essential oils. For Virginia Joy Musacchio, founder of Stillpoint Aromatics and The School at Stillpoint, CO2
