In today's Aromatic Chat, I get the amazing opportunity to chat with Lola King of Be Kind Botanicals. As the owner of BKB, Lola works directly with growers and distillers to bring you high quality, sustainable, artisan essential oils.
Lola found her way into aromatherapy, specifically as an oil provider, after having her second child and deciding to jump into building and running her own business. Originally she looked at becoming an Esthetician, but could find no information on how to safely formulate products, so she started trying to find formal education for formulation. After about six weeks of looking, she decided to start learning about essential oils and finished her course work in about six months. She began her business with creating body scrubs and blends, and then rebranded to fit her passions better.
Her father was a huge inspiration in both the business that she chose and the way she chooses to run it, teaching her to take care of the environment and be inclusive. The name of her company, Be Kind Botanicals, honors her father by remembering that kindness is how she was raised. "We wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for a love of helping people", Lola stated about the compassion that is exemplified by most holistic practitioners.
Tune in to hear us chat some more about the importance of sustainability, the difference between artisan and commercially produced essential oils, the Leave No Trace mentality and leaving your environment better than you found it, and to find out what the name of Lola's still is!
