On Skin, Failure, and Small Beginnings Five Years in the Making

Five years ago I started this farm because I wanted to grow flowers, dye plants, herbs, and anything I could put to use. It was never an effortless, picture-perfect farm. It was long days, dead plants, and lessons I did not want to learn (including that farming itself is not really my strength). But even in the mess, there were moments when the plants shifted something in me. The garden taught me more about healing than any product I bought off a shelf.

What I do love is having a farm, being with my plants, and very imperfectly tending to them in the middle of the chaos of life. Somehow it still yields just enough. Enough calendula blossoms to infuse into golden oil. Enough tulsi to distill into a mist. Enough indigo to create magic.

The ingredients in these first products were grown from seed by me, harvested by hand, and turned into small batches of oil, hydrosol, and extracts here at home. It's a slow process, but it keeps me connected to myself, to the plants, and to the here and now. When you open one of these bottles, I hope you feel a real connection to life too.

The formulas took another year. A cycle of testing, soothing, burning my face (hello PH!), and soothing again. Not tested on animals, unless you count me. The plants taught me patience. They taught me how something can be gentle and still powerful.

What I want for myself and for anyone who relates, is skin that feels both beautiful and comfortable. Soft. Hydrated. Not on fire. Not pulling me away from my day - there are plenty of other things to do that.

That's why I started here, with three products: a serum, a mist, and an elixir. They carry the garden into your hands, into your senses, and onto your skin. Small beginnings, but five years in the making. It feels good to finally share them with you.
