Inspired by Love, Crafted with Care: The Story Behind Little Gypsy Oils
Little Gypsy Oils began as something deeply personal - an expression of love for my wife, three daughters, two sisters and my mother and a desire to offer others the same gentle care I give my own family. As a licensed massage therapist currently practicing in North Carolina, I've spent nearly forty years helping people feel better in their bodies. My clients often tell me how much they love the calming, rejuvenating effects of facial and lymphatic massage, and it was their enthusiasm that sparked something more - a vision for healing that could extend beyond the treatment room.
Sometimes, the best ideas start at home.
When I first began blending massage oils, I made them with care - for my clients, yes, but especially for my family. My mother and daughter were the first to try my newest Ayurvedic inspired blends. They asked to use them on their faces and bodies as part of their daily routine. I thought, why not? What happened next even surprised me!
My mother, who had long struggled with dry spots and rough patches on her skin, found that the oils softened and healed those areas in a way nothing else had. Meanwhile, my daughter started using the oils on her face and was amazed when her blemishes cleared up! Their skin looked healthy, radiant, and most importantly - felt good.
They were the ones who insisted I take the next step. "You have to sell this," they told me. "Other people need this too!"
And just like that, Little Gypsy Oils was born.
Each bottle of oil is carefully handcrafted using only pure oil blends and all-natural essential oils. Our formulas are Ayurvedic inspired and designed to do more than just moisturize - they help nourish and heal, helping to stimulate circulation, soothe blemishes and dry patches, and leave skin soft, healthy, and glowing. Whether you're winding down after a long day or preparing for one, Little Gypsy Oils are made to bring balance and beauty to your everyday rituals.
But this journey is also one of remembrance.
5% of our net proceeds are donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in memory of our beloved Anjelica - our daughter and sister, whose light and courage continue to guide us. Anjelica's last name means "little gypsy" in Italian, and she always wanted to own a business called Little Gypsy. Little Gypsy Oils is our way of honoring her life and her dreams, while bringing healing to others. With every purchase, you're not just caring for your skin - you're helping to support research and care for those battling blood cancers.
From our family to yours, thank you for being a part of this story. We hope these oils bring you the same pleasure and healing that inspired them!
With heart,
Terri, Liana & Isabella (Mother, daughters and founders)
