Sheesh! Best soaps I’ve used thus far. The black soap, beautiful light cocoa smell and the lather is wonderful, feels so cleaning yet non drying & a wonderful yet not over powering exfoliation. The turmeric bar is beautiful and smells soooo good and fresh, honestly all the soaps lather wonderfully so no need to keep repeating🤭, it also brightens gently, also love the addition of the herbs atop the bar. The chamomile, wowww one of my favorites truly, smells soooo good and no synthetic fragrances which is a plus (for all of them!<3) leaves my skin feeling supple and soft (all of them do that too 😩😍) the most recent bar I’ve tried is the breathe easy perhaps? & YES YES YES! I mean it was such a nice sensation of my pores being opened up, and not overtly overpowering. The smell is hypnotic, looking forward to the next shower so I can use it. All of the soaps have been grand, and healing. My skin was suffering from dryness and itchiness and the black soap came and saved me, literally. Adding saturation and moisture to the places I needed it the most, while also leaving me fresh and rejuvenated. I believe in the gentleness of the soaps so much, if I was ever in a rush I know I’d b okay for some hours with no added moisture. The soaps don’t taste chemically either lol, accidentally tasted the black soap & it’s a little sweet. Just further confirms the natural products being used. If it wasn’t for the amazing products I’d also recommend going in the shop just to converse with Johntae who is so sweet and patient. Listening to my worries and concerns and pairing me with products that actually work, providing me with samples to see if it’s okay for my skin whilst being encouraging with his rewards system. He’s very educated & about the products and his customers success. His soap has helped change my life, I was struggling jumping from soaps to soap and my skin barrier as well. LIT Essentials have balanced me back out so that I can turn my focus to other things. It’s helped calm down irritated skin, didn’t bother further, broken skin.. I mean blown away, I recommend these products to everyone. Truly. And it being black owned is just chefs kiss. I also look forward to trying the shower bombs etcetera. Thank you Johntae! You’re exceptional, and a true community healer, your work and skills Are appreciated. I also know the products are the truth because I ended up mistakenly cheating with another soap for a few weeks and the difference in the moisture left behind was noticeable, even the lather, smell and feel of it was different. Some soaps would leave my skin feeling tight and in desperation for moisture, but his soaps had me prepared for moisture, not begging for it. His soaps are really made with intention and love, we need it. I mean as I type this in the bathroom, I can smell the eucalyptus and lemongrass coming from the breathe easy soap and wow it’s wonderful!!!!! Thank you from the top and inners of my heart, my skin is grateful and so am I. U have a forever customer. Also the classes seems so educational yet fun. Look forward to joining a few someday, in addition w my tribe. Also the prices of the soap isn’t bad at alllll!!!!! Thanks again :)

We went here for my sister’s 40 ish birthday. We made body scrubs and a body butter . The class was educational. The instructor was very kind, knowledgeable , and professional. This is a black owned business in a newly thriving area by Grant Park . I would definitely recommend . Also there is an extremely delicious Mexican restaurant next door you can check out after .

Booked this experience for my mom (on her birthday) and my cousin joined us. My mom absolutely LOVED the experience! We all had an amazing time and plan to return for other classes. We made Shea butter, customized to our holistic health goals. Johntay and his father were absolutely wonderful hosts- full of great information; provided patient instruction, and had overall fun personalities! I recommend this to anyone looking to have a great time, and learn about essential oils, while making a lovely product that you take home with you.Thank you for making my mom's birthday evening wonderful, unique, and naturally fragrant!!!

I'm so thrilled that I stumbled into this shop after the Grant Park Farms Market several Sundays ago. The passion the owner, Johntay, has for aromatherapy is evident in every product and the knowledge he has is unmatched. The Welcome Sleep and Nostalgia blends are my current favorites (you can get them as oils to diffuse, room sprays, shower bombs, etc,), but you can make your own custom blend to support any intention you have!I also refill my empty Lavender and Eucalyptus oils here for a very reasonable price. Can't recommend this place enough. I'm excited to try an aromatherapy class soon!

We were enjoying Date Night and the “scents” drew us but the “legendary customer service “ made us happy to stay and purchase and experience Johntay, the eucalyptus bundle, the shower bombs and the diffuser with “Be Calm” & “Welcome Sleep”. Absolutely we will return and purchase again!

If you have not been to LIT-essentials you MUST go….NOW. Talk about an experience! I took 4 ladies with me on a Saturday night on an aromatherapy journey. We thought we were just getting out for a couple hours to socialize and smell some smell goods but our time was far beyond that. Johntay the co-founder is Amazing and truly a good human. He’s very knowledgeable on aromatherapy, very passionate about educating on the proper usage and setting proper intentions to ensure you are taking care of your self! Self-care is not a luxury! It’s a necessity.I can not say enough about this place. I have taken two groups in a matter of a week and planning several more for the very near future.

We wandered into LIT Essentials Aromabar & Makery after lunch and found it to be fascinating! Everything was explained and we were given a demo of how the shower bombs work (the essential oils are trapped in the steam from the shower!) After leaving the beautifully boxed items in the car overnight, I discovered an essential oil wake up when I opened the car door. Lovely place. Will visit again and schedule a class to make these. Good “clean” fun for all ages.

Atlanta, you have a gem in LIT essentials! We were passing through on a weekend trip and found this wonderful place! Johntay, the owner, was so kind and helpful! He did a demo for us right in the store and we cannot wait to go home and try out our products. I also love that he has a website and offers one of the best shipping prices I've ever seen so we will be able to restock once we run out! Check them out today!
