In the next installment of our Best Version of You series, we’re thrilled to introduce Jesse, Plant Therapy’s Sourcing and Analytics Manager. Jesse has been part of the Plant Therapy family for 4 ½ years, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passion for herbal medicine to our team.
For Jesse, working at Plant Therapy is more than just a job—it’s a way of life. “What originally drew me to Plant Therapy was the commitment to quality and the diversity of products offered at prices normal people can afford,” he says. “As someone who has delved into herbal medicine for the better part of my adult life, it’s exciting to be part of a company that supports this philosophy.”
When he’s not managing sourcing and analytics, Jesse can be found adventuring in the great outdoors—rock climbing, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing. His favorite Plant Therapy products reflect his active lifestyle and passion for holistic wellness. Let's dive into Jesse's favorites.
Clove Bud Essential Oil
“I really love the heavy sensual musk of Clove Bud diffused in a room alone or mixed with other oils. I also add it, Vetiver, and Sweet Marjoram to a beard and hair oil.”
Whether used solo or blended, Clove Bud Essential Oil adds a warm, spicy note that’s both grounding and invigorating. Jesse often diffuses it in his Metro Stone Diffuser to create a cozy ambiance, or combines it with Jojoba Oil in his DIY grooming blends for a touch of warmth and spice in his beard and hair care.
Vetiver Essential Oil
“The earthy, grounded scent is one I appreciate for topical mixes. It also helps keep my skin healthy during my frosty winter ski excursions.”
Vetiver is another staple in Jesse’s diffuser and DIY toolkit. Its rich, woody aroma makes it perfect for grounding meditation sessions when diffused, while its skin-nourishing properties make it a key ingredient in his topical blends with Jojoba Oil—providing much-needed care for his skin after long days in the cold.
Sweet Marjoram Essential Oil
“This is one of my all-time favorite herbs for cooking, making bitters, and as an essential oil. Diffused, it opens my respiratory system, and topically it feels great on achy muscles.”
Sweet Marjoram’s versatility shines in Jesse’s routines. He diffuses it to support clear breathing and relaxation, especially after his outdoor adventures, and blends it with Jojoba Oil for post-activity muscle relief. Its herbaceous aroma is a favorite in both his diffuser and his DIY creations.
Golden Jojoba Oil
“I use this as the base ingredient of my personal topical formulations. My skin and hair can get pretty abused with my hobbies like rock climbing, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing—Jojoba helps!”
Jesse relies on Golden Jojoba Oil for its lightweight yet deeply nourishing properties. Whether he’s crafting beard and hair oils with Clove Bud, skin-soothing blends with Vetiver, or muscle-relieving formulations with Sweet Marjoram, Jojoba serves as the perfect base to bring his creations to life.
Metro Stone Diffuser
“It fits my posh lifestyle with its chic look. I’m so fancy.”
Jesse’s Metro Stone Diffuser isn’t just a functional piece—it’s central to his wellness rituals. “I use it every day to enjoy the full benefits of my favorite essential oils,” he shares. Whether it’s Clove Bud to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, Sweet Marjoram to ease his breathing, or Vetiver to ground himself after a long day, the Metro Stone Diffuser delivers a consistent, elegant experience. Combined with his DIY creations using Jojoba Oil, it helps Jesse enjoy his favorite oils in multiple ways, keeping him grounded, energized, and refreshed.
Jesse’s story reminds us that Plant Therapy isn’t just about providing products—it’s about supporting lifestyles that blend wellness, adventure, and affordability. With his expertise and passion for herbal medicine, Jesse embodies the heart of our mission: empowering people to live their best lives.
