A Gentle, Oncology Informed Approach to Skin, Body & Hair Care
At My Unique Spirit™, every ingredient is chosen with intention.
My own healing journey taught me that fragile, sensitive, or medically impacted skin requires a different level of care — one rooted in gentleness, clarity, and truth.
Our ingredient philosophy is oncology informed, barrier supportive, and grounded in ancestral plant wisdom. We choose oils, butters, and herbs that comfort the skin, support the barrier, and offer emotional grounding without overwhelming the senses.
Because we formulate in small batches and honor seasonal availability, sustainability, and skin compatibility, ingredients may vary from batch to batch. Each product page will always list the exact ingredients used.
This is not medical skincare — it is intentional, evidence informed care created with lived experience and professional training.
Our Oncology Informed Approach
Oncology informed means we formulate with awareness, sensitivity, and respect for the needs of fragile or treatment impacted skin.
This includes:
• Avoiding harsh actives
• Avoiding stripping surfactants
• Avoiding unnecessary additives
• Choosing low sensitization ingredients
• Offering fragrance free options
• Using only gentle essential oils or clean standard fragrance oils
• Prioritizing barrier supportive lipids
• Selecting herbs that soothe rather than stimulate
• Using caution with botanicals that require gentle handling
Our goal is simple: Create products that feel safe, grounding, and comforting — even on the most sensitive days.
Why We Choose Oils
Oils are ancestral, intuitive, and deeply compatible with sensitive skin.
They nourish without stripping, soothe without irritating, and support the skin barrier in a way that water heavy formulas often cannot.
We use oils that are:
• Stable
• Melanin friendly
• Oncology informed
• Gentle and non-reactive
• Rich in natural antioxidants
• Supportive of the skin’s natural rhythms
Because we formulate in small batches, the exact oils used may vary based on season, availability, and product needs.
Every oil in our system has a purpose — nothing is filler.
Why We Choose Butters
Butters offer cushion, comfort, and protection.
They help seal in moisture, soften dry skin, and create a sensory experience that feels grounding and luxurious without heaviness.
Our butter system includes:
• Kokum for structure and heat stability
• Mango for softness and elegance
• Sal for deep winter nourishment
• Cupuaçu for plush, moisture holding comfort
• Lanolin for barrier support and moisture retention
Usage varies by season, climate, and product type — always chosen with sensitivity in mind.
Why We Choose Herbs
Herbs are the quiet heart of our formulations.
They bring grounding, comfort, and gentle plant wisdom to every infusion.
We choose herbs that are:
• Soothing
• Non irritating
• Melanin friendly
• Oncology informed
• Emotionally grounding
Our current herb system includes gentle botanicals such as calendula, chamomile, marshmallow root, plantain, lemon balm, rose, hibiscus, and select supportive herbs like comfrey, turmeric, and arnica — each used with intention and caution.
All herbal infusions are crafted in jojoba oil, our most stable, hypoallergenic base.
Because we formulate in small batches, not every herb appears in every product, and some herbs are used only in specific blends or in very small amounts.
Our Fragrance Philosophy
Because scent sensitivity is common among individuals with fragile or treatment impacted skin, we use fragrance with intention.
• Essential oils are used sparingly and gently
• Clean standard fragrance oils are used only when appropriate
• All products can be made fragrance free by request
• We avoid overwhelming, heavy, or sensitizing aromatic components
Your comfort comes first.
Our Small Batch, Adaptive Approach
We formulate in small batches to maintain freshness, stability, and intentionality.
This means:
• Ingredients may vary
• Herbs may rotate seasonally
• Oils may shift based on availability and stability
• Butters may be adjusted for climate or texture
• Soapmaking oils may change based on sustainability needs
This flexibility allows us to honor the skin’s needs, reduce waste, and stay aligned with our oncology informed philosophy.
Our Promise
We promise to create products that feel:
• Gentle
• Grounding
• Safe
• Nourishing
• Transparent
• Intentional
Your skin deserves care that honors your journey — and so does your spirit.
