Our Process

 

We take great care in sourcing our ingredients, prioritizing herbs grown right here in Colorado to support local growers and apothecaries. We are committed to using ingredients that are grown using organic or regenerative practices, with a focus on woman-owned or family-run farms whenever possible.

Once harvested and dried, the herbs are combined with nourishing oils. These blends are then placed on a sunny windowsill for at least 28 days to infuse naturally using a method called solar infusion. This slow, intentional process draws out the herbs' beneficial properties, creating a potent base for our products.

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 then bottled as nourishing body oils or blended with melted beeswax to create our soothing salves.

Every step of our process is rooted in sustainability, quality, and a deep respect for the magic of plants—ensuring that every product we craft is as kind to the earth as it is to your skin.
