I have been going to SoBo for years!! I love all of their products. I love that all the products are made with good quality essential oils for the fragrance, no harsh chemicals, or additives. Good clean products. The essential oils give every product a nice light pleasing scent, not a chemicalized perfume smell. Also a little bit goes a long way, so the items will last you a while. Pretty Pu$$y Love Dust Love the name, it is what drew me to the product. I use this powder for under the tig-ole-bitties. Keeps the area nice and dry, and no cakiness when I sweat. Nice light scent. I've even used the "Chilly Willy Dust". In the summer the mint in the powder is a nice refreshing touch, and gives a nice cool to the skin. Sugar scrub Love how soft my hands are after I use this. Aloe Cucumber Serum Love the light scent, just like cucumbers. It's for sensitive skin, which I figured would be a good way to ease into serum usage. So far so good. I'm new to serum use so the only new thing I noticed is my face looks a little more plump. Not in a fat way, more healthy and fuller. I felt like my skin was a bit sunken and this seems to have helped with that. Probably have my face the moisture it was obviously missing. Lavender Body butter The smell alone is heaven. Nice and thick, keeps my hand moisturized. I use this after being at work with the harsh dry soap we use. Great replenisher to my hands. Calm your Ass Down I LOVE the name! I use this at night before bed. That way the magnesium in it gives me an extra oomph for a restful sleep. Smells fantastic! Don't let the name scare you off it is fabulous. Foot cream (I forgot the name ‍) It's working great on my dry feet. Even softens the heel very nicely. I can't say enough great things about SoBo, definitely a great shop. They also have their own parking lot, so a bonus on that too. #WomanOwnedBusiness #HealthySkinCare read more

The oils are nice, nothing to write home about. The names very clever. The location expensive and so are the prices to pay for the rent. The staff fairly knowledgeable. There is an insular, monied , clubby feel to the place. If looking for that it's your scene. It wasn't ours. We are both aromatherapist s and enjoy sharing our knowledge. Here it was more a one way street of so called " experts". We have been practicing and teaching aromatherapy courses for more the 30 years each and would have enjoyed a chat. Instead we were " taught". Thanks but no thanks. read more

Well, if this place ain't considered great, I don't know what is. I attended for the "Women Run Baltimore" Yelp Perk, and this place is great!! Private parking lots, spacious indoor and outdoor space, great variety of hand crafted items and superior customer service !! This place is a win win!! I'll definitely be back !! read more

I first came across this store during a Yelp event. It's a hidden gem tucked away in hampden and honestly if you weren't looking or know about this place sadly it'd be a little hard to find. However, once you find it, it is truly an amazing spot. The owners are super friendly and so knowledgeable about all of your needs! If you have any ailments or have anything simple like wanting to find something to relax you they have it! They also customize based on personal wants and needs and take pride in their work! They have other things such as scrubs and wool dryer balls which are made from sustainable materials ! Give them a shot for all your aromatherapy needs ! read more

First off, the store smells amazing. The store looks soothing -- random but if you saw it, it makes sense. It's not minimalist but it's not maximalist. The store is small but the doors are open to ventilate the space. The owner was really friendly. I saw the soaps and already knew what I wanted so I didn't interact with her much. She did let me know that you can order custom scents. The bars smell amazing. Clearly lavender is my favorite scent because all of these have lavender in them. I couldn't really smell the packaged soaps before purchasing it so I did blindly buy them. Reflecting back, I should've bought another "calm your a** down soap. It smells magical, really. I also would've gotten the orange-patchouli bar soap as well. No complaints. It is higher on the price side but it's a small biz. read more

Treat yourself! This place is a new favorite... upon entering, you're welcomed by a warm and kind staff, salacious aromas, and the delight of authentically made personal wellness items. The staff is very helpful offering suggestions for skincare and products. They even offer healthy samples of most items. Now, let's get to the actual products! Honey! My hands have been so dry from constant washing and using hand sanitizer, so much so that my hands have become flaky and large dead skin accumulates between my fingers. The deep repair hand cream offers such a deep healing therapy that your hands retain moisture despite numerous washes! Please get it. They are a bit pricey, but with such quality ingredients, there's no possible way to charge less! Even better, this is a locally owned shop. The owner has worked with essential oils for over 30 years! She knows her stuff and it shows! read more

This store is incredible. The owner, Theresa is extremely knowledge and truly passionate about what she does. After a quick chat with her I felt confident that the products I wanted to purchase were the highest and most natural ingredients. I have been looking for a store like this for a long time and my only complaint is that there is not a store in every city. I highly recommend anyone interested in natural and high quality cosmetic products check out this store where everything is local and made in the USA. read more

Bad news.... SoBotanical closed its shop and relocated to a warehouse in Baltimore. They will be open one weekend a month for walk in purchasing. They haven't updated their website with that information as of yet, so stay tuned. http://www.sobotanical.com/ read more

I love this store!!! It's the perfect size with all of these perfect natural products. It smells amazing and the energy is soothing. Every time I go I'm met by a different person but everyone is always helpful. I'm a bit of an essential oil addict and this is the place to get them in Baltimore. read more

I just recently started shopping here and absolutely love the products. I started using the beauty bar and one of their face serums, both of which have been great for my skin. I also love the CYAD linen spray and the list goes on. The staff and owner are also very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. read more

SoBotanical is the best aromatherapy bar I've ever visited. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about essential oils and can quickly create a personalized blend just for you. One of my favorite purchases is the car and house spray. Just a little bit leaves a fragrant fresh scent for hours. The bath bombs, soaps and lotions are all made in house so you know they are all natural, unlike the products from big box stores. Note that they will open by appointment if you need to make a purchase or have a consultation outside of their scheduled hours. read more

I went in to SoBotanical with angry inflamed skin. Trips to a dermatologist resulted in a shoulder shrug and a prescription for a steroid cream...to put on my face! Walking into SoBotanical is like stepping into another world. With a wall full of bottles, beakers and flasks, Theresa (owner, aromatherapist, holistic healer, magical alchemist) concocted a face wash and moisturizer with my specific troubles in mind. She handed over generous samples and told me to try them to see if my sensitive skin tolerated them. As soon as I tried the oil I felt my skin sigh with relief. After a few weeks my skin was calm and clear. Custom blended skin products - you really can't ask for more. I highly recommend SoBotanical to anyone: men, women, those tired of harsh chemicals, and especially those with sensitive, troubled skin! read more

Amazing selection and such a helpful staff. I left feeling better educated on my essential oils and equally pleased with my purchases. Worth the scenic trip to Fed Hill. I'll be back! read more

I love this place! The lady that helped me was so nice and accommodating. She knew a lot about the products and was able to help and recommend products that are best for me. Yayy!!! The soaps I bought were amazing and the store was charming and well organized. I can not wait to go back to this store. read more

One day I was wondering around Fed Hill and came across this gem. I was curious about aromatherapy, how it works and wanted something that would bring great smells/ energy into my home. Theresa was absolutely wonderful, pleasant and was extremely knowledgeable about all of the products. She guided me around the how to's of aromatherapy and I could not be more grateful. I will definitely be returning. read more

The people who work here are great. They're always super friendly and happy to explain anything you may not know. I find that the prices are very reasonable and the quality of the products is on point. read more

The professionalism of the staff and quality of the products keep me coming back...And the free smells. I could not love this shop more. The aromatherapists here love what they do and are very good at it. I am new to aromatherapy and they took there time to we make custom inhaler for my anxiety. I am so thankful to have found this shop. read more

This shop is THE place to go for proper essential oils and custom perfumes. The owner Theresa is beyond amazing. She really knows her stuff and you will leave her shop feeling and smelling great. Go onto Facebook and like the company's page to stay in touch on when she is open, she doesn't keep regular hours. It's worth the trip to come and see her whenever you get a chance. THE BEST essential oil source in Baltimore, hands down! read more

Great place! Oils and lotions and soaps. It's a dream. You have to check it out! Theresa, the stores owner, is very experienced.

This place is really nice! It's actually very affordable which was surprising. $5 bath bombs and $4 soap bars. They also have essential oils and the person who helped me was extremely friendly. read more

Good news. Sobotanical is still around... they have a shop in Fed Hill near Mothers and Kim's Day Spa. They are only open intermittently, and mostly just prior to gift-giving holidays. Dates and times are announced on their facebook page. It takes a bit of planning, but its worth it. read more

Just took a deep relaxing breath of lavender, and thought I should offer a review about Sobotanical where I got it. I have been going there for about ten years now and can definitely say the products are top-notch. It's cool to know that every ingredient they use is natural. I especially like the Thieves Oil and Head Ease blends they offer. One helps keep me healthy, and the other offers relief when I over-indulge! Definitely check it out next time you are in Federal Hill. Parking isn't always easy though, so personally, I now get most of my products from them online. They get to me pretty quickly, and as I said, they use top quality natural ingredients so I know what they ship me will be consistently good. read more

SoBotanical provides safe and natural products to soothe the mind, body and spirit. The registered aromatherapists have a core body of knowledge on the use of aromatherapy. SoBotanical provides products for all members of your family, including your four-legged ones. It will be well worth the time to stop in and explore the globe through your nose. read more

I live in NYC, so I can't get to SoBotanical even close to as much as I'd like, but their amazing lotions, soaps, perfumes, and oils are the best. And my husband is obsessed with their shaving cream. Can't endorse enough. Plus, the owner is one of the loveliest women you'll ever meet. Go! read more

Good news . . . I was fortunate enough to visit their new digs on 11/02/2012. Loved it! Personally, I would not refer to it as a warehouse. It would appear that they have put some effort into creating an intimate, yet welcoming, ambiance. The variety of their essential oils is extensive, and their quality--stellar. My visit there was a lot of fun. I look forward to returning as the holiday shopping season encroaches. read more
