Our Story
At the heart of PARIGOTTE is the shared experience of founder Arlette Letellier on how plants can improve our daily lives.
“After the loss of my father, I experienced panic attacks and severe pains in the tailbone (coccydynia) which prevented me from working and sleeping. I was prescribed drugs that only treated my symptoms (anxiety, pain, sleep issues), but never addressed the root cause. My daily routine completely changed when I understood I had to manage stress with natural solutions.
I started to practice breathing exercises and dove deep into the wonderful world of plants which transformed my life. Smudging helped me reduce negative energy around me, herbal teas supported me in finding better sleep and aromatherapy helped me to relax.
In less than 3 months my problems disappeared and I decided to create Parigotte to share my passion for plants and improve people's well-being,”
“We bring the ancient Wisdom of Plants to the modern world.”
Our Values
We are a small team nestled in sunny Brighton with a mission to improve people's wellness through the wisdom of plants. Plants have the power to close the gap between humans and the natural world.
Quality botanicals
We carefully select the highest quality botanicals and only use natural ingredients.
We never use any chemicals or flavourings in our products.
Responsible
We select small ethical producers to source our ingredients.
Each smudge is made by hand from beginning to end. Our white sage smudges are sourced from a farm that prioritises sustainable farming practices, such as sun drying and rotational field harvesting.
Our Palo Santo is sourced in Peru where only fallen branches or wood from diseased trees. The collection is done by indigenous communities, thereby supporting the local economy.
Our ethically sourced crystals are obtained through sustainable methods that prioritise the well-being of both the environment and the communities involved. Our practices ensure fair trade, respect for labour rights, and the protection of natural resources.
Sustainable Packaging
We do not use any plastic in our packaging or our parcels. At Parigotte, we strive to be as eco-friendly as possible and use recycled and biodegradable materials.
