Whole Plants, Whole Peace
Sensory-friendly herbal skincare is our unique approach to formulating that honors both sensitive skin and sensitive systems. It focuses on smooth, soothing textures, subtle natural aromas, and gentle herbal infusions that nurture without overwhelming the senses. Each product is designed to feel grounding, calm, and comforting — offering the benefits of whole-plant skincare in a way that supports nervous-system balance as much as skin health.
Rooted in Potency, Crafted in Calm
We grow and wild-harvest most of the herbs used in our formulations, tending them from seed to infusion. This hands-on relationship allows us to work with plants at their peak, capturing their full range of soothing and protective compounds. Our botanicals are more potent because they’re grown sustainably and chemical-free in living soil, harvested fresh, and infused quickly after gathering — allowing their aromatic oils, antioxidants, and phytonutrients to remain intact. These whole-plant infusions create formulas that are effective yet gentle, delivering balanced nourishment and visible results without irritation. By blending these herbs directly into organic oils and butters, we preserve their natural vitality and subtle aroma — no need for added fragrance or isolates that can overstimulate sensitive systems. This slow, intentional process results in skincare that feels pure, grounding, and deeply connected to the rhythms of nature — care for the skin that begins in the soil and extends to the nervous system.
"Sensory-Friendly" and "Sensitive Skin" Aren't Catch-Alls
I believe that for as many personalities that exist in the world, sensitivities — and how they manifest through our skin and senses — are just as varied and complex. Many folks, like myself, still want the benefits of gentle and effective herbal plants in our skincare routine, while others may have allergies that prevent them from being able to use them (i.e., Aster Family, Latex, etc.).
I’m working to provide a range of products that can serve a spectrum of sensitivities — both skin and sensory — with the uniting characteristic of being sensory-friendly: thoughtfully crafted to consider texture, natural aroma, and overall feel.
Each formula is designed to offer a pleasant, naturally occurring, and subtle aroma, alongside smooth, soothing textures that nurture without overstimulating — honoring both the skin’s needs and those concerns tied to the senses.
Meh, Blegh or BOR-ING!
In the past I’ve bought sensitive skin, fragrance free and unscented skincare products, and they often smell weird or like chemicals. Many times a fragrance free option is simply created as an afterthought, where fragrances are either just left off the recipe (resulting in a not very pleasant smelling product) or the formulation is just bare bones to be a catch-all option for "sensitive skin." Sometimes the product has felt too sticky, or dragged too much on my skin when applied, or left me still feeling dry. These are the sensory challenges I've experienced in great detail over the years. Even though I have sensory sensitivities, I still deserve to feel like taking care of my skin is a luxurious, self-care ritual that can help nourish my skin AND ground my nervous system.
