Who We Are

Electing whether or not to run a sustainable business was never a discussion for us. Sustainability isn’t just a feature. Sure, ensuring true sustainability might take extra intention. But we are intentional about everything that we do; we respect the process. 

And sustainability is the process. It can be slow. But it is thorough. Deliberate. 

We don’t believe in shirking responsibility for our effect on the planet and our communities by taking shortcuts. Shortcuts in the process means stripping things down to their cheapest most profitable version. Shortcuts mean feigning that we don’t owe our communities and planet everything. 

But we do. 

We know that elective sustainability is a bizarre concept as there’s nothing elective about survival. The earth isn’t disposable. Community isn’t disposable. And the things you use every day shouldn’t be, either. 

This is how we give back, grow our community, and stay alive in a capitalist world that values profit over people. This is how we create something better: we are the alternative.

"I have used the Tallow Balm for a couple of months and love the way it feels and heals dry skin. I recently started using the face elixir. I LOVE this product. My skin looks and feel great. I have not had any breakouts since I’ve started using it. I highly recommend these products."

"This Elixir has truly changed my skin! I have always had hormonal texture around my chin especially leading up to my cycle, and this has all but eliminated it. My skin feels renewed every morning after using this. I can feel the intention and heart behind it!"

"I started using this oil when I was pregnant! It was not only nourishing for my growing/stretching body but it became a beloved ritual to lather myself up in the evening. It was amazing to create an intentional space for me to care for myself and my body! This is one of my daily go-to products that I will forever use. I even use it on my 6 year old and my newborn. I feel great about putting a product on all of our skins that is clean, connected to nature, and made with love! You can tell the difference."

Sustainably Wildcrafted

Over 70% of our ingredients are cyclically harvested within the environment in which we live and create.

Small Batch Made

Since we gather nearly all of our ingredients by hand, we create our products in very small batches as to respect--and not over-harvest--the plants.

Earth-Conscious

All our products are packaged in reusable frosted glass with renewed wooden caps. They are shipped and packaged in recyclable or compostable materials.
We are the alternative.

You deserve to know what's on your body.

+ Body oils that actually work—absorbing through layers of skin, through nerve endings, sending signals to your brain that you can unclench your jaw, loosen your shoulders, and breathe. Ground yourself so you can ground others. 
+ Whole plant infusions—not just ultra-concentrated isolates that strip the plants down to a single function. Nature is complex. So are we.
+ Every step is transparent—know exactly what’s in your products and why.
+ All clean, largely local—no mass production, no cheap outsourcing. You should know the hands that make your skincare.
The alternative to mass production, to synthetic fillers, to watered-down “clean beauty” gimmicks.
