Our Story

The Story

Rooted In Restoration. Created by a Survivor and a Soldier.

The Heart Behind Grit + Grace Aromatics™

Grit + Grace Aromatics™ was born from survival, service, and the belief that peace is still possible. Founded by Diane Geruso, a survivor of domestic violence, spiritual abuse, and deep loss, and her husband John, a retired soldier and sheriff, this brand was created for misfits, survivors, and heavy-hearted souls who know what it means to carry what no one sees.

This is not polished wellness. This is care for real life.

Together, Diane and John have walked through grief, trauma, pressure, exhaustion, and the kind of pain that changes how you move through the world. Out of that came Grit + Grace Aromatics™, a natural wellness brand crafted to support calm, comfort, skin care, restful rhythms, and the senses.

Every candle, cream, oil, soap, and blend carries the same quiet message: You are still here. Peace is still possible. And feeling better can begin with the care you choose every day.

The Mission

Our mission is to create handcrafted natural wellness essentials made with time-honored ingredients and restorative care in mind.

From our Scents of Survival™ Collection to our Sensitive Skin Collection and the Scars You Can’t See devotional, every product is created to support real people through real moments.

The long days. The heavy seasons. The sensitive skin. The restless nights. The quiet rebuilding.

Grit + Grace Aromatics™ exists to help misfits, survivors, and heavy-hearted souls feel comforted, grounded, and cared for, one small moment at a time.

Feel Better. The Way Nature Always Intended.
