Our Process
Handcrafted, small batch skincare with a positive impact.
At Yellow Bird Herbs, our products are intentionally crafted with soothing natural ingredients to hydrate, nourish, and protect your skin. The simple yet powerful plant-based formulas deliver a dose of golden vitality.
We are a small batch, hands-on operation. Each batch is made using a blend of herbs and oils, with ingredients chosen for its affinity to the skin.
Batches sit on a sunny windowsill to infuse for at least 28 days. This slow, intentional process draws out the herbs' beneficial properties, creating a potent base packed with nutrients.
When the infusion is complete, the oils are carefully strained to remove the organic matter, which is then composted to give back to the earth. The infused oils are bottled as nourishing body oils or blended with melted beeswax to create our soothing salves.
Found on each label is the product’s batch number and the number of days infused.
We take great care in sourcing our ingredients, prioritizing herbs grown in Colorado to support local growers and apothecaries. Our sourcing focuses on quality ingredients that are responsibly wildcrafted, or grown by small, independent farmers who embrace organic or regenerative growing practices.
Every step of our process is rooted in sustainability and quality, with respect for the plants, ensuring that every product we craft is as kind to the earth as it is to your skin.
Skin Care Ingredients
Discover the nature's power in every product
Calendula
Ruled by the sun, calendula is a cheerful yellow-orange flower that has been used for centuries to soothe minor wounds, bruises, burns, and stings. It discourages scarring as the skin works to mend, creating new, healthy tissue.
Yarrow
This widely-grown plant is the master of blood. It coagulates blood to stop bleeding quickly, eases redness, and contains moisturizing properties.
Peppermint
A great skin ally. Plantain helps soothe dry, irritated skin and eases minor burns and insect bites.
Sunflower Oil
Brimming with beneficial Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, sunflower oil helps to soothe wounds, protects the skin from the sun, and provides a dewy, golden glow.
Sesame Oil
Filled with Vitamin E and fatty acids, this “liquid gold” helps moisturize and protect the skin and offers a deeply grounding effect—ideal for meditation. Warming, thick, and nourishing for the mind and body, sesame oil is a trusted ally in Ayurveda.
Jojoba Oil
Made from the nut of the jojoba plant, this oil is a trusted ally when it comes to skin health. The chemical make up mimics our skin's natural oil, so it absorbs deeply and effectively.
