A.OK was founded by artist and illustrator Alessandra Olanow, whose creative journey has always been rooted in everyday beauty—vibrant colors, thoughtful observations, and the subtle nuances of human connection. But during a deeply challenging chapter in her life, Alessandra found herself unable to draw—her usual creative outlet had gone silent.
In that quiet space, a new path began to emerge. The phrase “You are A.OK” became a daily mantra—an anchor and a gentle affirmation. As she explored essential oils, engaging her senses of smell and touch, something shifted. She began to feel grounded, then better. Eventually, great.
This personal discovery led to a broader realization: creativity isn’t limited to what we see. It lives in all our senses. From this insight, A.OK Essentials was born—starting with the brand’s signature all-over oil, formulated to turn everyday self-care into a sensory ritual.
Crafted in small batches with high-quality ingredients and artisanal care, A.OK’s products are designed to support emotional well-being and creative connection. The all-over oil, inspired by Alessandra’s own daily ritual, is more than just skin care—it’s a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with oneself.
At its heart, A.OK is about honoring the creative spirit within all of us. Through scent, texture, and mindful rituals, the brand invites people to explore new dimensions of self-expression and well-being.
