Local Partner: rareESSENCE

When Sherri Jobelius and Brian Paulsen fell in love, their mutual adoration for flowers, plants and the natural world was an inspiring force for their connection. As artists and creators, they decided to share this passion with the world by founding rareESSENCE. The rest is history. Sherri and Brian travel the world to find and source the highest-quality essential oils and other ingredients as close to the growers and distillers as possible. Harnessing the power of plant essences, their wish is to help you find peace, ease and beauty when you need it most.

rareESSENCE offers products that are safe, certified organic, vegan, cruelty free, and free of synthetics, phthalates, petroleum, parabens, sulfates and silicone. Handcrafted in their Minneapolis-based headquarters, Brian and Sherri maintain complete control over the purity and quality of every product they make. They are steadfast in their commitment to uncompromising environmental standards, from the sourcing of essential oils and waxes to the paper and glassware they use (Forest Stewardship Council certified paper and glassware made with recycled glass). Whether they are hand-pouring candles, blending oils for aromatherapeutic synergies or honoring the ancient principles of perfumery while decanting their perfumes, Sherri and Brian see everything they create as a rare and precious gift from nature.
