Ursa Major offers refreshing natural scents, lightweight textures with no suspect chemicals. The line has clean skincare essentials for people who want a simple, effective routine. Created by Oliver Sweatman and Emily Doyle after leaving New York City for Burlington, Vermont the line was created from a love of natural skin and body products. The move, and their eventual brand ethos, came out of a desire to live a more healthy, active and natural life with less stress.

I love the reason behind choosing Ursa Major (meaning Great Bear in Latin) as the brand’s namesake! Ursa Major’s website explains that their brand, “like the largest visible constellation In the northern sky has long been used to find True North.” Using this as a reminder to follow your inner voice. For me, you are your most powerful advocate for what goes in and on your body. You know yourself best.

Using products that never use petrochemicals, parabens, synthetic fragrance or color, like Ursa Major’s line, can be so empowering. This line is great for all genders and all skin types so you can feel good about trying their products and keeping the ones that feel good and fit in your daily routine.

In 2020, Ursa Major became a certified B Corporation meaning that "they are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment". 

Ottilia is happy to welcome Ursa Major!
