At Topsy Blends, we believe that what you put on your body should support your well-being—never harm you, the planet, or any other living being. That’s why we’re deeply committed to using only the highest-quality, ethically sourced ingredients, and we never compromise on those standards. Every essential oil we use is 100% pure and unadulterated—no fillers, no synthetic additives, no gobbledygook ingredients. Just the natural, aromatic compounds extracted directly from plants. All of our essential oils are GC/MS tested (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) to guarantee purity, safety, and optimal quality. If it doesn’t pass the test, it doesn’t make it into our blends. Period. We source our essential oils from trusted farms that prioritize sustainable, organic practices or responsibly wildcraft plants from their native regions, so you're getting the most therapeutic and vibrant oils possible while keeping the earth in mind. Basically, if it’s going on your body (or mine), it has to meet the highest standards. We started by creating these products for ourselves and our families — and we continue to use them daily — which is why we will never cut corners on quality. It’s our joy and honor to share them with you, knowing each blend is made with the same care, intention, and respect we want for our own daily rituals.

Our goal is to ensure bliss in every bottle. If your order arrives and you are not 100% content with your blend(s), please contact Rachel as soon as possible at topsyblends@gmail.com. I am happy to work with you on a solution that leaves you with peace of mind because that’s what Topsy Blend's mission is all about!

At this time, certain items are available for wholesale, like our full line of Therapeutic Essential Oils and Blends. Please contact us for a price list and more information at Topsyblends@gmail.com

Great question—because "100% pure" doesn’t always mean what we wish it did. There’s no official regulation on how companies label essential oils, which means one brand’s “pure” might be top-notch, while another’s could be diluted, mixed with synthetics, or made from low-quality plant material... and you'd never know from the front of the bottle. Here’s where the real differences show up: Sourcing: Where and how the plants are grown matters. Oils from sustainably farmed, organically grown, or responsibly wildcrafted plants tend to be more potent and effective (and better for the earth). Harvesting & Distillation: Timing, technique, and care during extraction all impact the final quality. Testing: Reputable brands (like Topsy Blends!) use GC/MS testing to confirm that what’s in the bottle is exactly what it should be—no fillers, no synthetics, no surprises. Freshness: Essential oils are natural products with shelf lives. How a company stores and rotates its stock makes a difference in how fresh and effective the oil is when it gets to you. So, while lots of brands say “100% pure,” the quality, safety, and effectiveness can vary a lot depending on how the oil was sourced, handled, and tested. At Topsy Blends, I personally select oils from trusted suppliers who meet the highest standards for sustainability, ethics, and transparency—because I deserve the real thing and so do you.

While there’s no law that says you have to go to school to work with essential oils or sell aromatherapy products, you cannot become certified without some sort of course. When you're dealing with powerful plant magic, getting a solid education is important—both for safety and for creating blends that actually work. I completed my Aromatherapy Certification Program through the Aromahead Institute in February 2016. Aromahead is one of the most well-respected and comprehensive aromatherapy schools out there, known for its science-based approach, safety standards, and in-depth training. My Aromatherapy Certification was a 235-hour program covering essential oil chemistry, safe blending practices, therapeutic uses, and how to craft safe, effective products. I also completed Aromahead's 76-hour Anatomy & Physiology course, specifically designed to support aromatherapists in understanding how the body works and how essential oils interact with it because understanding the body is a huge part of understanding how to support it naturally. I never stop learning. This is my favorite subject on the planet, and I’m always studying, experimenting, and expanding my knowledge to make sure I’m creating the absolute best for you.

It all started with a stomach ache. After dealing with chronic stomach pain for years, I was completely floored by how effective essential oils were in easing my symptoms. I was instantly hooked and knew I had to learn more. That curiosity led me to become a certified aromatherapist and dive deep into the world of plant-powered healing. As I built my understanding of how essential oils work with the body, mind, and spirit, I found myself wanting to swap out everything in my home—cleaning products, skincare, even my medicine cabinet—for natural blends made with ingredients I could feel good about. The very first blend I created was what I called my "signature Topsy Blend," designed to help support digestion. That little blend later became Tranquil Tummy, the topical roll-on that started it all. I was so excited by how well it worked that I shared it with anyone who would listen... and, well, I haven’t stopped blending since! As for the name? I wanted something that captured the beautiful, messy reality of life. Because when things get a little Topsy (and let’s be honest, they always do), there’s a blend for that. Life’s chaos is bound to strike, but with the right support, we can handle it—naturally. So in short, chaos is inevitable, and comfort is optional (and we’re here for it). With the help of my dear friend (and still my graphic designer to this day!), Katie, Topsy Blends came to life. And here we are, almost 10 years later—still making thoughtful, effective products that I use daily and share with my own family.
