NATURE'S HEALING AGENTS
Check out all the natural healing agents we use as ingredients + their impacts on our skin.
Most of them are plants! Humans have been using plants for centuries to aid the body's physical and mental healing processes. We draw upon the wisdom of modern and ancient researchers to ensure safety and nourishment to help you feel healthy, healed + whole.
Where do we get our plants? We grow some plants ourselves, ethically hand-harvest in Colorado, and source plants from local farms and apothecaries. Sourcing locally supports our neighbors and puts money back into our local community. We are committed to creating ethical partnerships with the people + places we harvest and source our plants from. These partnerships are paramount to building our community and create peace of mind for our customers. Our customers can find peace in products that are non-toxic, nourishing, and regenerative of the land + the community.
