Story

I'm Alessandra Olanow, artist, illustrator and founder of A.OK. My art has always been inspired by the world around me - vibrant colors, daily observations, and human connections. But during a difficult period in my life, I found myself struggling to create even the simplest drawings. It was in this challenging space that I discovered a new path.

"You are A.OK" became my mantra, a gentle reminder when I needed it most. I began exploring essential oils, engaging my senses of smell and touch. As I did, something inside me awakened. I felt better. And over time, great.

This journey taught me that I had been limiting myself to visual inspiration, overlooking the creative potential of my other senses. The essential oils that grounded and uplifted me during that tough time evolved into A.OK Essentials, the foundation of our formulas.

A.OK is about elevating self-care through sensory engagement. Our all-over oil, born from my daily ritual, is crafted with the best quality ingredients, produced in small batches, and rooted in artisanal expertise. It's a tool to reconnect with yourself and find a moment of peace.

When I use A.OK every morning and night, it's more than just nourishing my skin. It's a sensory ritual that reminds me to pause and reconnect. It's a moment to feel, to create, to be truly A.OK.

Through A.OK, I've expanded beyond visual art. These products are an invitation to explore creativity and self-connection through all our senses. I hope they inspire you as much as they've inspired me.

Love,
Alessandra
