Clinical Breakthroughs

Clinical Breakthroughs

Backed by science, crafted for life.

The first clinically-proven aromatherapy blends ever.

That's why we partnered with the University of Northumbria's Department of Psychology to conduct the largest aroma-focused clinical trial to date. Using gold-standard scientific methods, including placebo-controlled trials, biometric testing, and real-world stress and cognitive performance challenges, we tested the effects of Moods essential oil blends on stress, anxiety, focus, and mental clarity.

KEY FINDINGS AT A GLANCE

400+ participants tested under scientifically validated, real-world conditions

Placebo-controlled trials conducted at the University of Northumbria

Synergistic blends outperform single essential oils, proving the power of formulation

KEY FINDINGS AT A GLANCE

Clinically proven reductions in stress, anxiety, and fatigue

Measured increases in focus, memory, and cognitive performance

The science is clear: Moods blends are not just about scent - they are about real, measurable benefits.

The Study
150 participants took the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), a public speaking and mental arithmetic challenge designed to trigger social anxiety.

Measured: Heart rate, cortisol levels, and self-reported anxiety.

Control conditions: Compared against lavender (a known calming oil) and a no-aroma control group.
Results
30% reduction in social anxiety – Feel calmer under pressure in interviews, meetings, and social settings.
25% lower stress hormone (cortisol) levels – Stay relaxed in high-pressure situations.
25% faster heart rate recovery – Nervous energy fades faster, so you regain control quickly.
Positive mood maintained, even under stress, while other groups experienced declines.

The Study
90 participants completed cognitive performance tests measuring memory, attention, and executive function.

Measured: Test accuracy, response times, brain oxygenation (via Near Infrared Spectroscopy - NIRS), and self-reported fatigue.

Control conditions: Compared against sage (a known cognitive enhancer) and a no-aroma control group.
Results
15% boost in memory and focus – Sharpen recall, decision-making, and cognitive performance.
30% increase in brain activity – More oxygen flow to the prefrontal cortex for enhanced mental clarity.
12% faster mental processing – Think quicker and make decisions with ease.
25% increase in alertness – Say goodbye to brain fog.
25% decrease in fatigue – Stay sharp for longer.

The Study
90 participants completed a high-stress multitasking challenge, simulating a busy work environment.

Measured: Heart rate, blood pressure, salivary stress biomarkers (IgA, chromogranin A), and self-reported stress/mood.

Control conditions: Compared against lavender and a no-aroma control group.
Results
25% reduction in stress levels – Relax faster, even in high-pressure moments.
10% lower blood pressure – Physically feel the calm.
30% faster return to baseline stress levels – Recover from stressful situations quicker.
20% increase in calmness – Stay composed while others feel overwhelmed.
10% lower stress-related hormones – Helping the body stay balanced and resilient.

The Study
120 participants completed productivity and focus tests, measuring sustained attention and task completion under time pressure.

Measured: Task completion rates, focus duration, energy levels, and productivity metrics.

Control conditions: Compared against peppermint (a known energy booster) and a no-aroma control group.
Results
22% increase in productivity – Get more done in less time.
18% better focus maintenance – Stay on task without distraction.
27% improvement in energy levels – Push through afternoon slumps.
15% increase in task completion – Finish what you start, even challenging tasks.
