What's inside JOY

Six ingredients, each with a purpose

Each ingredient was chosen with a different part of menopause in mind.

Clary Sage

For the fog and the overwhelm

Known as the herb of clear sight for good reason. Women experiencing brain fog, emotional fatigue and that sense of overwhelm often describe Clary Sage as the oil that helps them feel like themselves again.

Frankincense

For the heat and the ache

Revered for centuries for its warming, settling qualities. Women experiencing hot flushes, joint discomfort and that underlying feeling of inflammation often reach for Frankincense as part of their daily ritual.

Palmarosa

For balance and brightness

Long associated with hormonal harmony and emotional steadiness. Women navigating mood changes, skin sensitivity and the feeling of being unlike themselves find Palmarosa a deeply comforting companion.

Neroli

For calm, clarity and connection

One of the world’s most treasured florals, beloved by women for its ability to ease feelings of anxiousness, restore a sense of calm and gently reconnect them with their sense of desire and self.

Juniper Berry

For lightness and ease

A favourite for women who experience that heavy, puffy, bloated feeling that nobody warned them about. Associated with a sense of lightness, ease and physical comfort.

Magnesium

For rest and restoration

Widely used by women during perimenopause and menopause to support a more restful night, ease physical tension and restore a sense of inner steadiness.

Certified organic. 50% Magnesium Chloride in the Oil.
The JOY story

Her journey in three acts

Losing a word mid-sentence. Walking into a room of people and feeling anxiety. Reading the same email three times.

Act 1 · Recognition
“She thought she was disappearing.”

The confidence fading. The brain fog. The body unfamiliar. The world rushing past while she stands still, wondering if she is still seen. We meet her here, with empathy, never pity. We name her experience without medicalising it. She is seen.

Act 2 · The veil lifting
“She was never disappearing. She was distilling.”

Everything unnecessary falling away. Every performance, every apology, every version of herself that was for someone else. What remains is the truest, most concentrated version of who she is. The fog is clearing. Something ancient and certain is rising. This is where JOY lives.

Act 3 · Arrival
“You have arrived. Let us honour that.”

She does not need to push or prove. She stands in the fullness of what she has lived, what she has built, what she knows. And she gives herself, finally and fully, the same care she has always given others. Into her harmony. Into her joy.

Why I made JOY

No tablets. Just a daily ritual.

When perimenopause hit me, my body felt unfamiliar. My doctor prescribed magnesium tablets, but they were too big to swallow, so I stopped.

Then I found topical Magnesium. I made my first oil at home, and Koa grew from there. JOY is the blend I made for this stage of life.

Nothing to swallow

Spray or massage onto skin, then carry on.

Morning and night

Oil to start your day, butter to wind down.

Fits your handbag

A 100ml spray for a pause anytime.

Made in Rotorua

Made in small batches in Aotearoa.
