About our Herbs

Herbs are harvested at peak season, maintaining essential nutrients, making them 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.
Ethics on Foraging

Our products are living!

A love letter to Nettles,
Thank you for being so abundant here in Nebraska, for nourishing us and for nourishing our skin. We are forever grateful to so easily have access to a mineral rich plant that literally re-generates us! Always forage away from areas with traffic, pesticides or harmful plants. Young snake root can resemble Nettles, but is toxic. So make sure to use the app I-Naturalist to ensure they are nettles!

Plants are double-infused at low temperatures for a long time, allowing their beneficial properties to be carefully extracted while maintaining their integrity - all without the use of chemical solvents!

About our Labels

Labels are made from ‘Dai Chiri’ Paper. 
Dai Chiri is a Japanese paper made from the leftover mulberry plant after it goes through the manufacturing process. It is a unique, textured paper with plant fibers (‘chiri’)  in it. This makes every single label unique! This also makes our labels bio-degradable!
Our labels are all hand drawn, and inspired by the hand painted vogue covers from the 1920's. In a world of profit over beauty, the idea was to create a beautiful thing inside and out, so when you open your cabinet everyday, you get to see something made with love.

  • Notes on sustainability:

    Sustainability is more than a brand for Prairie Flora, it's guides our ethics. We believe in treading lightly on this earth, and try to reduce our impact everyday. Our herbs are sourced locally, which means we re-use our baskets to forage, or bring mason jars to our favorite herbalist to get refilled. This eliminates the need for shipping anything as well as packaging.

    We also make and print all of our labels using recycled paper that is leftover from the manufacturing process of the mulberry plant. This means our labels have already been recycled, and then get a second life.

  • To re-use the jars, remove the labels (they should peel right off, if they are being finicky use some hot soapy water!), fill the bottle with hot soapy water, shake and pour out. Follow this with a little rubbing alcohol, shake that and that should remove all the remaining oil residue from the bottles. If you want to really sanitize the bottles, put them into the oven (without the droppers) at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

    Some great uses for bottles are: DIY oils and serums (herbs infused in pure oils, glycerin + rosewater serum, have fun with your creations!), seed saving bottles, bathroom match holders, DIY diffuser for your desk (essential oils + reeds), or if you are in Lincoln you can return them to me and they will turn into a skincare bottle again!
