Aware Spritz from Heathmade
In August of 2014, a curious four-year-old named Heath Wilson unearthed the magical healing and aromatic treasures of plants, herbs, and essential oils. After a weeklong potions lab, the imaginative young boy told his mom he wanted to sell hand sanitizer at the Clairborn School’s inaugural Entrepreneurial Fair. What began as a small school project has grown into Heathmade: a curiously crafted line of all-natural wellness products that nourish the skin, invigorate the senses, and uplift the soul. This face, body, and room mist gives off a citrusy lemongrass scent that will wake you up with just a spritz.
