There is something very special about creating a product that comes from the heart.
Croí, meaning heart in Irish, is our newest Naturally Balanced collection — a soft, comforting and grounding range created to bring a little more calm into everyday life.
This collection was designed around the beauty of slowing down. Those small moments we often forget to take for ourselves. A quiet shower. A gentle scent in the room. A nourishing oil after bathing. A few minutes to breathe, reset and come back to yourself.
Croí brings together the floral softness of Rose Geranium, the warm resinous comfort of Benzoin, and the natural mineral richness of Kinsale sea salt. Each product has been thoughtfully created to support simple, sensory rituals that feel calming, nurturing and beautifully restorative.
A Collection Rooted in Comfort
The heart of Croí is its scent.
Rose Geranium gives the blend a soft, rosy floral note — fresh, gentle and elegant without feeling overpowering. Benzoin adds warmth and depth, with a smooth vanilla-like, amber softness that brings a feeling of comfort and calm.
Together, they create an aroma that feels both uplifting and grounding.
It is not a sharp or heavy scent. It is soft, warm and reassuring — the kind of aroma that helps a room feel peaceful and a skincare ritual feel more meaningful.
For us, Croí is about emotional balance, comfort and quiet luxury. It is a collection for the days when you want to soften the pace, create a sense of calm, and turn an everyday routine into something that feels a little more special.
The Croí Collection
Croí has been created as a small, thoughtful collection of ritual-led products.
Croí Essential Oil Blend
The Croí Essential Oil Blend is a warm and comforting blend of Rose Geranium and Benzoin.
It is perfect for diffusing in the evening, using during meditation, journaling, breathwork, yoga, or simply when you want to bring a softer atmosphere into your home.
A few drops in your diffuser can help create a space that feels calm, grounded and inviting.
Croí Room Spray
Our Croí Room Spray is designed to gently refresh your space and surround you with a comforting floral warmth.
Mist it in your bedroom before sleep, in your living space before guests arrive, in a treatment room, yoga space or anywhere you want to create a feeling of calm.
It is a simple way to change the energy of a room and bring a little moment of stillness into the day.
Croí Kinsale Sea Salt Exfoliating Soap
This is one of the most special pieces in the collection.
Our Croí Kinsale Sea Salt Exfoliating Soap is handcrafted with mineral-rich Kinsale sea salt, bringing a beautiful natural texture to the bar. It gently polishes the skin, helping to smooth away dryness and leave the skin feeling refreshed, soft and renewed.
The salt gives a satisfying exfoliating feel, while the Rose Geranium and Benzoin aroma turns your shower or bath into a calming, sensory ritual.
It is simple, natural and deeply connected to place.
Why Kinsale Sea Salt?
We are always drawn to ingredients that have meaning.
Kinsale sea salt is more than an exfoliating ingredient — it carries the story of where we are from.
Salt of Kinsale is produced locally using seawater gathered off the Old Head of Kinsale, with evaporation powered by the sun and prevailing winds. Their process is rooted in gentle harvesting, zero heat processing and a deep respect for the surrounding environment.
That matters to us.
At Naturally Balanced, we believe skincare should be thoughtful. It should feel good on the skin, but it should also feel good in how it is made, where it comes from and the story it carries.
By blending Kinsale sea salt into Croí, we are bringing a piece of our coastline into the collection. The sea air. The minerals. The natural texture. The grounding feeling of West Cork.
It makes the soap feel connected, local and honest.
A Shared Love of Sustainability
One of the reasons we love working with Salt of Kinsale is the care they put into their environmental impact.
Their approach is built around reducing waste, reusing materials and protecting the local landscape. From zero-carbon salt production to recyclable packaging and repurposed shipping containers, sustainability is part of how they work.
They have also rewilded over two acres of land, planting more than 500 native Irish trees, creating wildflower areas, a bluebell wood, a wildlife pond, and habitats for bats and owls.
That kind of work means something.
It reflects the same values we hold close at Naturally Balanced — respect for nature, respect for place, and a belief that small Irish businesses can be a positive force in their local communities.
Croí is part of that story.
A product made with care, using a local ingredient we are proud of, created to bring comfort to your skin and calm to your day.
How to Use Croí as a Ritual
Croí was made to be used slowly.
Start with the Croí Kinsale Sea Salt Exfoliating Soap in the shower or bath. Use gentle circular movements over damp skin, allowing the salt to softly polish and refresh.
After bathing, follow with one of our Naturally Balanced body oils to lock in moisture and leave the skin feeling smooth, nourished and cared for.
In the evening, mist the Croí Room Spray around your bedroom or living space to create a peaceful atmosphere.
For a deeper ritual, add the Croí Essential Oil Blend to your diffuser, take a few slow breaths, and allow the warm floral scent to settle around you.
It does not have to be complicated.
A few simple steps can completely change how a moment feels.
A Thoughtful Gift, or a Moment for Yourself
Croí is also a beautiful gifting collection.
The scent is soft, comforting and elegant. The products are practical, but still feel special. And because the collection is rooted in Kinsale, it carries a lovely sense of place.
Whether you are gifting someone a moment of calm, or choosing something for yourself, Croí is a reminder that self-care can be simple.
It can be a soap.
A scent.
A few quiet minutes.
A small ritual that brings you back to yourself.
