“Go outside. Feel the sun on your face, the earth beneath your feet, and the air in your lungs. Life is happening here."

All herbs are harvested at peak season and dried slowly in the dark, to keep them as pure as possible. Then they are infused low and slow to attain all the essential nutrients and to help them be bio-available to the skin. 
We are careful to forage only overly abundant species that do not benefit the native habitat. Our native herbs are grown locally by an herbalist.

All our labels are hand drawn, and inspired by the vogue covers from the 1920’s (I found a book of them at a flea market). Fun Fact: the Label for the Ritual Cleanser is inspired by my cat Porgie, as sometimes I imagine he thinks he is a beastly dragon. Sometimes our skin acts the same!

Our labels are made from ‘Dai Chiri’ Paper. Dai Chiri is a machine-made Japanese paper available in five colours. It is made of a mix of kozo fiber and sulphite and has small bark inclusions called ‘chiri’. We buy it from our local art store!

  • Every harvest begins beneath our feet. Healthy soil teems with life, forming a living partnership with plants that allows them to grow strong, resilient, and nutrient-rich. From soil to seed, from plant to person, wellness is part of an interconnected cycle. By supporting regenerative growing practices and healthy ecosystems, we honor the belief that thriving land cultivates thriving plants—and that thriving plants help nourish a thriving body.

  • Not every botanical we use can be grown locally, but we are deeply intentional about every ingredient brought into our formulations. When a plant cannot thrive within our climate, we seek out growers, herbalists, and small farms that share our values of organic cultivation, sustainability, and transparency.

    Alongside cultivated herbs, some botanicals are ethically foraged in small quantities from wild landscapes. Ethical foraging means harvesting with reciprocity and restraint — never taking endangered plants, never over-harvesting from one area, and always leaving enough for pollinators, wildlife, and future generations of the plant to thrive. Wild plants should be honored, not exploited.

    Because we do not mass produce or rely on industrial sourcing, we are able to build close relationships with the people and places behind our ingredients. Every herb, oil, resin, and extract is selected with intention, allowing our supply chain to remain small, transparent, and rooted in care for both the earth and your health.

  • Over the years I have had many experiences that changed my perspective. Losing young friends to cancer, witnessing good friends struggle with fertility, and witnessing so many health issues from my clients and friends, led me to start asking whether there is more going on beneath the surface than I once understood. It led me to mistrust big businesses, who create products for profit with no regard for the health of the people who they are pedaling to.

    Many brands that position themselves as “green” are often far far from it. When I began carefully reviewing the ingredient lists in products my clients were using daily—sometimes multiple times a day—from these so-called green companies, I realized they often contained carcinogenic and hormone disrupting ingredients.

    A big part of the issue comes down to regulation and marketing. In many cases, there is little preventing companies from labeling themselves as “green,” even when their formulations don’t fully reflect that promise—because they know the term sells. When you start to look beneath the surface at the actual ingredients, you too will be shocked to find out; there is often no integrity, or ethics behind skincare. They use byproducts of petroleum and chemical waste in their products. Seriously. It is disturbing.

    This realization is what ultimately led me to start making my own products. It became the only way I could ensure true transparency and integrity at every step—from the soil the plants are grown in, to how the ingredients are handled and processed. For me, it’s more than making a skincare line. It’s because I wanted to create something that I can feel good about, that I know is good and that I can be proud of.
