SOLAR INFUSED OILS Where Nature, Literacy & Hands On Learning Come Together
🌞 The Heart Behind Solar Infused Oils
There are moments in life that change everything — moments when you see how deeply the world needs gentleness, honesty, and connection again. For me, that realization came while watching people I love suffer, not out of weakness, but because so few truly understand the quiet, transformative power of plants.
Out of that experience grew a deep determination — to return to the roots, to the earth, and to the wisdom that has always been there. I began studying, experimenting, and listening to what nature had to say. I learned how sunlight, patience, and intention could work together to create something meaningful.
From this journey, Solar Infused Oils was born — a reflection of what I believe in most: authenticity, integrity, and reverence for the natural world.
Each creation is made slowly, by hand, using time-honored methods that rely on the warmth of the sun to gently draw out the essence of plants.
We use no harsh chemicals, preservatives, fillers, or artificial scents — only what the earth offers in its purest form. Every infusion represents care, craftsmanship, and connection to something timeless.
Solar Infused Oils isn’t just about making botanical preparations — it’s about honoring nature’s artistry and sharing that beauty with others. It’s a celebration of simplicity, mindfulness, and the way plants can remind us to slow down and live with purpose.
This is more than a craft — it’s a devotion. A way of giving back. A way of remembering where we came from.

Holistic Wellness Inspired by Nature
Sunlight • Fresh Air • Rest • Botanical Rituals
At Solar Infused Oils, we believe true wellness is nurtured by nature. Our approach is rooted in harmony — with the earth, with our bodies, and with our spirit. While we make no therapeutic claims, we celebrate the gentle support that botanical ingredients, fresh air, mindful rest, and sunshine can offer in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Our handcrafted, small-batch products are created using only natural, sun-grown plants and oils, carefully selected for their traditional use in skin and self-care practices. We believe in the power of simplicity: whole ingredients, solar infusion methods, and a return to earth-based living.
What We Put On and Into Our Bodies Matters
Choosing pure, plant-based ingredients can support the skin’s natural barrier and help us feel refreshed, balanced, and vibrant. Our products are made without synthetic additives, fragrances, or artificial dyes — just nature’s ingredients, as intended.
The Role of Sun & Soil
Every plant used in our infusions is grown under the sun, in healthy soil, and harvested with care. Sunlight not only supports plant growth — it symbolizes the life-giving energy we value in our daily lives. While we cannot claim medicinal effects, we trust that incorporating sun-grown botanicals into skincare rituals honors ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
Breathwork & Outdoor Living
Spending time outdoors, breathing deeply, and reconnecting with fresh air can support a sense of vitality. While our products are not intended to treat or cure, we encourage daily rituals that reconnect you with nature — including gentle self-massage with infused oils, herbal compresses, and fresh-air mindfulness routines.
Mindful Rest & Spiritual Well-Being
Incorporating stillness and reflection into your wellness routine may help reduce daily stress. Whether through prayer, meditation, or peaceful moments of solitude, we believe that tending to emotional well-being is just as important as physical care. Our botanical oils are made with intention and respect, designed to support these quiet moments of connection.
Rooted in Nature, Guided by Tradition
At Solar Infused Oils, we believe that well-being begins with the earth. Our approach to skincare and wellness honors the connection between nature, nourishment, and self-care. While we do not make medical claims, our handcrafted products are designed to support a balanced, natural lifestyle — with an emphasis on purity, tradition, and plant-based integrity.
Wildcrafted Botanicals from Northern Alberta
We gather our herbs and plants by hand in the open fields and wild spaces of beautiful Northern Alberta. This land is rich in natural abundance, and we are honored to respectfully harvest from it. Every ingredient we use is selected for its historical use in traditional skincare and wellness rituals — infused slowly in the sun to preserve its natural profile.
Our Partnership with Nature’s Pollinators
We proudly distribute raw, local, unpasteurized honey and beeswax, sourced from dedicated beekeepers in our region. Honey has long been revered in traditional wellness for its natural properties, and while we make no therapeutic claims, we believe in its value as a wholesome, natural ingredient.
Our beeswax is also used in many of our skincare creations — from salves to natural candles. Beeswax helps create nourishing textures in our topical products and offers a naturally grounding experience in the home when burned as a candle. We’re deeply grateful to the bees — without them, much of our food supply would not exist.
Established in Canada, Growing Globally
Founded in 2019 in Alberta, Canada, Solar Infused Oils began as a small family-led passion project and has grown into a nationwide brand. We are committed to manufacturing, distributing, and delivering natural products to Canadians coast-to-coast — and we are actively expanding access internationally.
All of our creations are made fresh, in small batches, using only natural, clean, and carefully handled ingredients. We follow Canadian cosmetic regulations and safety standards in our production process, and our product formulations are based on research-backed knowledge of plant constituents and traditional uses.
Supporting a Holistic Lifestyle
We believe health is holistic — supported not only by what we put on our skin, but also by how we nourish our bodies, minds, and environment. We encourage conscious choices: eating nutrient-rich, whole foods; avoiding heavily processed and chemically treated products; and reading labels to understand what we are bringing into our homes.
Empowering yourself with knowledge and nature is at the heart of our work. By choosing clean, sun-infused products made with intention, you’re choosing a path of simplicity, reverence, and connection — with the earth, and with yourself.

Botanical Wisdom: Returning to Earth-Crafted Self-Care
The Beauty of Conscious Living: Choosing Cleaner, More Natural Options
More and more people today are rethinking the products they use daily — from food to cosmetics to personal care. A closer look often reveals that conventional items are packed with artificial additives, synthetic ingredients, or heavy processing, leaving many searching for gentler, more natural alternatives.
One of the best ways to support your well-being is by choosing simple, minimally processed, plant-based products — whether for your kitchen or your skin. That journey starts with:
✅ Connecting with local growers and small-batch makers
✅ Asking how ingredients are grown, sourced, and prepared
✅ Choosing natural over synthetic whenever possible
When it comes to skincare and wellness, Canadians are increasingly drawn to products rooted in botanicals — flowers, roots, and herbs — not as medical treatments, but as mindful additions to self-care rituals.
At Solar Infused Oils, we handcraft every product in small batches with plants such as comfrey, dandelion, lilac, and spruce resin — each chosen for its traditional uses, unique aroma, and deep connection to the earth.
🌱 Our Philosophy
We see personal care as a form of self-respect — a return to slower, more intentional practices. Using gentle, nature-aligned products is a way to reconnect with what feels pure, simple, and grounded in the land.

Cooking at home. Reading labels. Asking questions. Supporting ethical makers.
Each choice matters — and together, they add up to a lifestyle aligned with your values. Let your self-care routine be an extension of your respect for yourself, your community, and the planet. 🌍
