Plants Over Pertroleum

Fat Crush: Erica Fargione

Rachel met Erica Fargione at the Midwest Women's Herbal Symposium and immediately knew we wanted to introduce her to our community. Erica is a botanist, herbal educator, and community organizer. 

Olfactory Observations: Fragrance

‘Fragrance usually isn't a single ingredient. It's an umbrella term that can represent a blend of many aromatic compounds. Many toxic, petroleum-derived ingredients get to lie in the shadows of ‘fragrance’, hiding under the guise of “proprietary blends”.

Resist what Persists: Silicone

We don't formulate with dimethicone or synthetic texture-building polymers because we're not trying to make botanicals behave like conventional skincare.

Self (Care)-Preservation: Preservatives in Perspective

We make our potions in regular, monthly cycles (not once a year) and size them according to their best use well within the time frame of their shelf life.
