This is a short, but true tale of how a tiny grain of opportunity grew to become Mo’s Tonic and Barryville Organic.

Like many folks, scent has always been a fascinating and complex part of my life. As I was beginning to explore perfumery, I had an opportunity to study Aromatherapy with nationally respected veterans, Jade Shutes and Amy Galper, at the NY Institute of Aromatherapy in NYC. It was through my studies of Aromatherapy that the impact of essential oils upon the human body became clear. I was acutely conscious that the notion of what we put on our bodies, also finds its way into our bodies. This awareness was revelatory on many levels.  In January of 2014, I made a commitment to myself that I would only use therapeutic, organic or wild harvested products upon my skin and in my home. I am convinced that my overall health has been elevated as a result of my products of original aromatherapy blends. This was the genesis of Mo’s Tonic. It is with this spirit that I am able to share our products with you. 

For us at Mo’s Tonic, the spiritual element embedded in essential oils has been a journey filled with a bit of awe and a lot of respect. The ability for the scent alone to impact one's psyche and spirit could have been enough. However, when you couple the therapeutic nature of carefully selected essential oils with a carrier medium, the intensity and efficacy of the plant’s integrity increases and the result is three fold: our products are therapeutic for your skin, body and spirit. It is a mutually symbiotic relationship and a synchronicity of the best kind.

We are mindful of the origin of all our ingredients and use fair trade, organic or wild harvested products whenever possible. We believe that the care of the plant’s harvest and distillation is equally important. This all becomes more relevant when delivering a product to you and your family.

Mo’s Tonic creations have purposeful integrity from start to finish. We think they are pretty terrific and hope that your experience is the same.

With lots of scented love,

Mo
