I took the first two pictures during what ended up being my final Sitka Spruce harvest, for the foreseeable future. 🥺 It was a rainy, windy day with Kodiak’s spring spirit in full force. The days where you remind yourself that this is what brings the “Emerald Isle” green goddess views in the summertime.
This is such a magical place, and I am feeling overwhelmingly grateful for the opportunity to learn from this land, and from so many of the amazing people here.
If you’re in Kodiak, I hope you’ll join us at the this Friday and Saturday (4-9 pm & 10 am - 4 pm) at the Afognak Building on Near Island. We have freshy-fresh Sitka Spruce essential oil rollers back!
Wishing a happy day to you and yours. 🤍✨🌿
Thank you, Kodiak Harvest Food Co-op! 💕
❕🤍 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🤍❕
Emerald Isle Essentials will be taking a pause. We have made the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved island home of the last 15 years and relocate down to the lower 48 & closer to family, this July.
Phew.. 🥺 With this major life transition for our family, there are a lot of knowns and unknowns regarding EIE.
What we know:

The Lady Webster Line will continue to be a huge part of EIE.
🌿 Finally.. we know that without YOU we wouldn’t be writing this with a heavy, and simultaneously - full, heart.

✨🍋 View from inside 🍋✨ It’s that time of year again! We were extra fortunate this year to be able to go harvest Meyer Lemons for one of our favorite seasonal distillations, and we also got to harvest some oranges and grapefruits (swipe➡️) for a brand new co-distillation hydrosol! 💛
Stay tuned for their release at the end of this month!
We’ll be there! Mark your calendars 🩷
The label is different but the contents and inspiration are exactly as they started 💛🥰

For love of Vanilla Beans 💛
This one is for my Mama. She’s been making homemade Vanilla extract as long as I can remember. She always had a tin of vanilla lip balm in the kitchen. If I ever forget the vanilla in her cookie recipe, it’s immediately obvious the dough is missing something. This balm turned out better than I could’ve hoped.
Our organic vanilla bean infused jojoba is just lovely, and the balm has the most soft, soothing feel. A perfect pocket companion. ✨

It’s been a few days since our last live show - but our gratitude is still going strong. I almost didn’t do that show, with family priorities and upcoming travel looming. But. I’m SO HAPPY I did. Aside from being so thankful for each and every sale and business supporter, those of you who reached out with your kind words, compliments, questions and conversation - THANK YOU. You reminded me why I love sharing this passion, and how much it means to do so. I wish I could thank each one of you personally, but I hope you know who you are. Much love. & plants, of course. 🥰
Thank you for being in this journey of plant-crafted love with us. Now - it’s time for family. Cheers, all! ❤️ -Maggie

Our Story
Our goal at Emerald Isle Essentials is to create blends that soothe, support and heal. We only use respectfully sourced ingredients, and wild-harvest as much as possible from right here on this amazing island. Made from the goodness of the Earth, for the goodness of your body.
Here on Kodiak we are carpeted in lush vegetation from mountain top to shoreline. Depending on the season, an ever-changing variety of foliage can be found. One special tree can be spotted all-year and island wide: the beautiful Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis). These resilient trees are why I started EIE and they hold a special place in my heart.
Our Emerald Isle offers so much and I love being able to share it with you all.
