Nature Knows

Foundations in
Nature & Poetry

Through the power of organic fragrance, each ingredient can awaken the senses and unlock the ability to transport and transform. These Muses Moments provide quiet interludes where creativity and healing can flourish.

Like the nine Greek Muses, these moments harness connection and inspire imagination, while also, inviting rejuvenation, rest and relaxation.

Evoke your Muse.

The Art of an
Environmental
Ethos

Susan Rockefeller has loved nature since she was a child creating sandcastles by the ocean off the coast of Long Island.  Her life has been immersed at the intersection of art, nature and sustainability.  She finds refuge in her love of gardens and joy as an artist. Through her art, Susan explores themes of nature, light and shadow, its mystery and our place in it. 

Susan created "Muses, Nature Knows" with a hero product, Neck Potion No. 9, designed to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with "tech neck," a common condition caused by spending too much time looking at screens. The product uses the power of CBD and essential oils to provide relief, delivering an experience of wonder and sensory delight. Her brand inspiration was conceived during time on her farm in the Hudson Valley where she reconnected to plant based holistic memories of healing.

Inspired by an Alaskan Landscape,
Invigorated by a Global Landscape

Having grown up spending time in nature, Susan pursued an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies and, shortly after graduation, spent three years living with the Inuit in Alaska. Susan saw first-hand the power of living in harmony with nature. She was enlightened by this experience and sought to inspire others to lessen their environmental footprint and to be more conscious of their impact. These experiences were formative in the creation of Muses.

The goal of Muses is to drive a desire to accelerate sustainability in our daily lives and provide pain relief. As advocates of balanced living, we hope that we can inspire our community to move away from consumption and towards creativity. The associative power of scent and memory is a critical component in designing the therapeutic experience of Muses. Through memory-linked design, we endeavor to explore the natural aroma of essential oils in order to deliver a soothing experience. Our nature-based formulas not only benefit us through relieving pain but also the planet. 

Providing Relief & Rejuvenation

Through Muses, Susan hopes to encourage people to take a moment to pause and take time to connect with themselves and the environment around them.  Susan has a deep appreciation of essentialism and what is needed most for humans to thrive — she believes in healing our soils and our seas as reflected in her philanthropic work with Oceana and Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.

She is also founder of Musings, a digital magazine highlighting responsible innovation and ideas for a better world.Through her new company Muses, she invites you to celebrate the powerful scents and healing qualities of plants through these exquisitely branded products.  Susan also hopes that the No. 9 Collection will inspire a moment to invoke your own muse, find a pause to breathe...creating a sense of respite and peace from the noise around you. 

Our hope is that everyone will join in celebrating Muses Moments, enlivening the senses while also getting some pain relief.
