Made in-house.

Springfields opened in Sydney in 1989 selling single oils. There were no blends at the start.

Who formulated them

John Kerr, who founded Springfields with Jillian Kerr, spent his working life on these plants — an academic in botanical medicine working in essential-oil chemistry, a clinical aromatherapist whose research included collaborations with hospitals, a lecturer at aromatherapy and clinical conferences internationally, and co-founder of two of the field's journals, Aromatherapy Today and The International Journal of Clinical Aromatherapy.

The blends came out of that work, one at a time, over decades. Each began with a purpose. It was made, given to people, adjusted, given again — and kept only when it earned its place. The eighteen here are what remains of a much longer list, and once a formulation settled it was left alone: Sanctuary has been the same five oils in the same proportions for decades.

Look at what's in it

Sweet Dreams is East Indian sandalwood, Roman chamomile, marjoram, lavender and rose geranium. Ten millilitres, $37.95. That sandalwood on its own is $69.95 for 3ml; Roman chamomile, jasmine and rose otto we sell at 2.5% in jojoba, because at full strength they cost more than almost anyone will pay.

Those are the oils people choose these blends for, and they are the first to go from a blend that has to be cheap — kept in as a trace, or replaced by something that costs a fraction. Ours are in the formulation in quantity, and the label lists them.

How to use them

Blends are made for the diffuser, where nothing touches the skin: four to six drops for a room, thirty to sixty minutes at a time. Several also work in the bath, dispersed first in a carrier. Each product page gives the drops for that blend.

Ezi-Breathe carries a TGA registration (AUST L 58585); the others are for aromatherapy diffusion.
