PRODUCT LINES

I am proud to carry brands founded, created, and run by women. These brands are thorough in their search for quality, sourcing, processing, and creating. The skincare lines I carry are mostly organic, often wild sourced, biodynamic, hand-crafted, hand-bottled, sustainable, and vibrantly alive.

 

They use plants, nuts, flowers, seeds, spices and oils to lovingly make their deeply nourishing and healing skincare products. These small companies build and maintain relationships with farmers in the US and other countries to create and source their lines with integrity, care, and the highest quality ingredients.

 

As a practitioner, I try to be as thorough and thoughtful as possible in the products that I bring into the treatment room - every detail is considered. Below is a list of the lines that I carry and use in both my massage and skincare therapies. These lines are small batch, sometimes seasonally influenced, impeccably sourced, and consciously crafted.

BOTNIA

Science-based Skin Remedies

Botnia's mission is to offer you plant-based skin remedies that truly work. Botnia grew from Justine Khan's belief that skincare should soothe, nourish, and heal the skin, not strip it or treat it aggressively. Botnia cares deeply about sourcing and growing locally, and is committed to growing as many botanicals as possible for these raw ingredients in their backyard micro-farm.

"We love your skin. It’s a simple statement, and it cuts to the core of how we formulate our products for you. Every ingredient that we use is carefully chosen to illuminate your natural beauty. By harnessing the nourishing power of plants, our products repair and soothe, nurturing the long-term health of your body’s largest organ. We believe that effective, healthy skincare should be accessible to everyone."

LEPAAR

Wholistic Luxury Skincare

Small-batch composed and hand-blended in sync with the moon cycle,  following biodynamic principles, natural processes and reverence for ancestral wisdom. Wholistic in creation and purpose, harnessing the true luxuries of this world – the pristine gifts of Nature.

Christo and Johanna "wanted to create a sustainable luxury skincare line, aligned with [their] wholistic ethos and love for artisanal refinement + natural beauty. Elemental body and soul food for true inside-and-out beauty, composed with naturally active ingredients, imbued with love.

Ingredients are organic, biodynamic or wildcrafted, sustainably grown, harvested and processed with love and respect for Earth by ourselves and people who share our ethos."

TIDELANDS HOUSE

These formulas are artfully distilled and blended by herbalist, naturalist, and Master Formulator Dominique Del Col in her solar-illuminated stillroom, housed within a converted heritage stone crofters cottage erected in 1879.

"A dedicated grassroots green space surrounded by a lush and fecund English garden, abundant in wild medicinal herbs and heirloom flowers. We are eternally devoted to crafting the finest herbal skincare and wellness preparations in a conscious environment, using sustainable, organic, and wild foraged ingredients while advocating for biodynamic and celestially guided planting practices. Our formulations are thoughtfully concocted by hand in micro-batches with only the purest botanical essences and extracts, without artificial ingredients, and in mindful glass vessels free of unnecessary packaging. Our path is guided by intentional sourcing to navigate the environmental and social impact in every step of our makers' process."

pAra BOTANICA

Reiki-infused Holistic Skin Care

Within is you, the pure essence of what beauty truly is, for you are and always have been beauty. 

Christy Whitney-Matz is the founder and potion maker at pAra. She describes her skin medicine as intertwining human spirit, plant spirit and the divine: "Our potions are created through intuitive sensing, visioning and listening with the help of ancestral guides and the backing of scientific research. Our plants are grown organically or are wildcrafted and come from small farmers who grow lovingly from the very beginning seed to harvest...we hand batch all of our potions in a small studio space overlooking a green cliff, listening to the sweet sounds of bird song, flutes and chimes, while intermingling with smokes and essences and infusing healing intention into each batch."Countless hours of research go into each product and Christy takes care to keep the products both true to our bodies and true to our earth. You can feel the love, magic, and deep plant medicine each time you anoint your beautiful skin.

ACTIVIST 

ACTIVIST IS A MĀNUKA HONEY COMPANY founded by wife and husband, Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood. Their shared passion for the earth and natural products can be traced back to their childhoods in Aotearoa New Zealand. Activist specializes in The Ultimate topical and ingestible Mānuka products for beauty, wellbeing and immune support.

"As a family we’ve built a company that works prolifically with natural resources, not only natural resources but ones with an origin from our native country of Aotearoa New Zealand; which is our larger playground and one which we have a deeper understanding with. The ability to build a brand with limited industrial impact was something that was very important to us. In essence we are simply letting Mother Nature, the seasonal cycles, symbiotic relationships, and microclimates, cultivate the basis of our products. It is our role to present these to the world in their highest and unadulterated form with as little human interference and corporate shortcomings as possible."

WILD GRACE

Earth-Centered Beauty Medicine

Katie Grace is the herbalist and formulator behind Wild Grace. She writes, "Wild Grace products are specifically formulated to be safe, effective, aromatically therapeutic, and made with whole plants, not standardized extracts or naturally-derived ingredients. Our products and ingredients ARE nature. Pure and simple. And our products are a huge step above “organic.”

Along the same lines, we source our ingredients as close to home as possible and as freshly grown, pressed, and distilled as possible. For the plants we work with, they're picked seasonally and in their peak, which means sometimes we don't have an ingredient for awhile because nature is nature and plants don't grow at their best on demand. This is another element that goes into what we call “Slow Beauty".

We also purchase whole herbs from the farms we work with and do the processing in-house before weaving them into our skin-loving blends. That means we do the milling and powdering so the herbs are as fresh and intact as possible when they go into our formulas.

SIAM SEAS

Who you are and where you're from is your truth to share with the world.

Having grown up in Thailand, submerged in a culture founded upon herbs and minerals to heal, Supadra witnessed the effectiveness of plant magic at a young age.Supadra was creating formulas long before the idea of Siam SEAS was born. For years, she battled chronic inflammation and autoimmune issues without recognizing it. It wasn’t until she reconnected with her roots, practiced her ancestor’s way of healing and their wisdoms through indigenous plants that she started to understand and grasp at the profound power of indigenous plant synergies.“Through the brand, I want to share the magic of eastern medicine — centuries old of magical healing, ancient wisdom, and the indigenous plant powers I have lived with since a child”She harnessed the potency of these ancient botanicals in her products and combined them synergistically to raise efficacy, and with modern research-backed actives, to create unparalleled formulas — holding within it centuries of ancient wisdom.The plants are the magic that have not yet been shared with the western world and it is Supadra’s wish to introduce their powers along with her culture and traditions from the scent to texture, all have significance and place.

I also source essential oils, herbs and massage oils from these organic and sustainable companies -

Starwest Botanicals, Eden Botanicals, Mountain Rose Herbs and Morning Myst
