The Intention Behind Skin Soul Rituals: Why Every Product Is Chosen With Purpose
The feather that found me, the philosophy behind Skin Soul Rituals, and why every product is intentionally chosen to help women slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

There are symbols we choose and then there are the ones that seem to find us.
When I started building Skin Soul Rituals, I knew I wanted the brand to feel intentional, grounding, and meaningful. I kept trying to land on a symbol that felt right… and honestly, nothing stuck. If you know me, you know I can change my mind a lot, so that didn’t help.
Then the feather kept showing up.
At first, I just liked how it looked. It had that soft, boho, natural vibe I was drawn to. But when I looked into what the feather actually symbolizes, everything clicked in a way I didn’t expect.
The feather represents freedom, the ability to rise above, move lightly, and release what no longer serves you. It represents softness, trust, and the ability to soar without force.
And that’s exactly what Skin Soul Rituals is about.
Why I Created Skin Soul Rituals
As women move through their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, life doesn’t usually slow down, it gets fuller, heavier, and more layered. We carry more responsibility, more mental load, more expectations.
Somewhere in that, we stop pausing.
Skin Soul Rituals was born from a desire to give women small moments back.
Not a complicated routine.
Not more pressure.
Not another thing to keep up with.
But small, grounding moments that help calm the nervous system, create space to breathe, and reconnect to yourself.
Sometimes we just need a minute to reset. A quiet moment when everything feels heavy. A breath in, a breath out moment. A reminder that we’re allowed to take care of ourselves too. We’re allowed to take a pause and reset when everything feels heavy.
That’s where every guided practice and collection begins.
I always ask myself: Will this help a woman feel calmer, more grounded, more connected to herself?
If the answer isn’t a resounding YES, it doesn’t belong here in this space. This brand isn’t about mass production. It’s about soulful intention.
What Beauty Means Here
In this space, beauty isn’t about chasing some version of yourself the world says you should be. I struggled with this in sales, we were suppose to look a certain way, act a certain way and it just wasn’t true to who I was or even who I wanted to be.
Beauty is confidence.
Beauty is self-connection.
Beauty is the freedom to be fully you.
We shouldn’t need permission to show up as ourselves but sometimes I think we forget that and the pressure and expectations to be a certain way or look a certain way is exhausting. Skin Soul Rituals is about dissolving pressure, expectations and simply giving ourself space to let go of what is no longer serving you. You don’t need permission, you just need to be reminded. Let go, breathe and simply be you.
It’s the glow that comes from feeling at home in your skin, not trying to become someone else. That changes everything. It ignites a spark that’s contagious. The only definition of beauty you should be concerned with is your own. You get to decide. What makes you feel beautiful?
Why Every Product Is Chosen Intentionally
Nothing in this brand is random. I’ve carefully curated the products, the intention and the space I wanted Skin Soul Rituals to create.
Every guided practice and curated collection is chosen to:
Ground you
Uplift you
Give you space
Help you breathe
Offer a moment to regroup
These aren’t just skincare or self-care practices. They’re a solid foundation for nervous system support, for emotional reset, for coming back to yourself.
I want these to be ritual practices that you can return to, something familiar that says, you’ve got this.
The Space I Hope This Brand Creates
More than anything, I want Skin Soul Rituals to feel like a safe, grounding supportive space.
A place where you know what you’re reading and using was created with so much care and intention. A place that lifts you instead of overwhelming you. A place that feels calm, grounded, and supportive.
I want you to feel:
calm
safe
empowered
cared for
Like you’re doing something good for yourself, not because you have to, but because you want to because it feels good and aligns. Because it resets your nervous system and gives a moment to breathe. Every collection or ritual practice should feel like an experience.
What I Won’t Do
I won’t create products just to have more products. No mass production here.
I won’t chase every trend.
I won’t overwhelm you with clutter.
Everything here has to feel meaningful, comforting, and aligned with the ritual-based practices & heart of this brand.
The Feather as a Reminder
The feather reminds me that building something meaningful is a journey. That we don’t have to rush becoming. We don’t have to have everything figured out yesterday. Although, I know that’s sometimes exactly how it feels. That lightness comes from letting go of what weighs us down and truly embracing who we are and who we are becoming. The beauty of it all, you’re allowed to change your mind, change directions, do something different or something not planned… anytime you want or need too. Redirect, reframe and move forward boldly into the beautiful life that we are so blessed to live every day.
We are not behind, we are right where we are meant to be.
My hope in sharing this is that when you experience Skin Soul Rituals, you feel supported, cared for, and reminded that you can pause… breathe… and return to yourself.
What Is A Lotion Candle?
A lotion candle is a dual-purpose ritual that scents your space and melts into a nourishing body lotion. A ritual you’ll return to again and again.
by Amber Boone, Holistic Aesthetician & Founder of Skin Soul Rituals
Lotion candles are different. One of things I love is that they are dual purpose you can use them to scent your space and as a lotion for your skin. They are the perfect ritual for slow, nourishing self-care which is why they found their way into Skin Soul Rituals line.
They’re designed to create a moment, that invites you to slow down, soften your nervous system, and turn everyday self-care into a ritual you look forward to.
We created lotion candles as an intentional ritual: not only to scent your space, but to nourish the body and calm the mind in one simple practice.
Why lotion candles exist
The idea behind a lotion candle is simple, but powerful.
Instead of burning a candle solely for ambiance, you allow it to:
fill your space with a grounding, calming scent
melt into a warm, nourishing body lotion
become part of a slow, intentional ritual
It’s beauty, comfort, and care, all in one.
This dual-purpose ritual transforms something familiar into something meaningful.
A candle that becomes skincare
Once lit, a lotion candle melts into a warm pool of skin-safe oils and butters.
After extinguishing the flame and allowing it to cool slightly, the melted wax can be applied directly to the body, leaving skin soft, nourished, and lightly scented.
No extra steps. No separate product. One meaningful ritual.
What’s inside Skin Soul Rituals lotion candles
Each candle is made with clean, skin-loving ingredients chosen for both safety and nourishment.

How to use a lotion candle ritual

(not intended for facial use)
This ritual can be enjoyed:

It’s a pause that’s easily built into your day.
Scents designed to ground and soothe
Skin Soul Rituals lotion candles are offered in grounding, elevated blends:

Palo Santo & Sandalwood — grounding and meditative
White Oak & Vanilla — warm, cozy, and comforting
Lavender & Sage — calming, herbal, and softly floral

More than a candle — a sensory ritual
Lotion candles aren’t about doing more.
They’re about doing one thing slowly.
Lighting the flame.
Feeling the warmth.
Caring for your mind and body.
Creating a moment you return to again and again.
They’re especially loved by those who:
crave nervous system calming rituals
want self-care to feel intentional, not rushed
love candles but want function too
enjoy mystical, sensory experiences
are searching for meaningful, giftable rituals
A thoughtful gift, or a personal ritual
Because they engage multiple senses, lotion candles make deeply meaningful gifts, the kind that feel personal and considered.
They’re also a beautiful way to introduce someone (or yourself) to ritual-based self-care.
