Organic Skincare Line
What Makes Us Stand Out?
As our name suggests, most of our ingredients are homegrown and can be found in our own backyards! Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies, and it protects us from harmful things in our environment. Often, we don’t treat our skin like the vital “organ” that we should, and like any other organ, it needs to be nurished. We believe that many of the body healing nutrients we need can be found and sourced here in Appalachia. Our ingredients are pure, top quality, and focused on skin-healing properties to maintain healthy skin.
Oils and butter: A combination of oils are used in our products, including raw shea butter, hemp seed oil, black walnut oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil, rosehip seed oil, horsetail butter, and many others! What makes these oils stand out is that they are steeped with organic herbals, legumes, and fruits that we either have growing here or sourced from our region.
Fragrance: Our fragrance is derived from essential oils, extracts, and herbal oil infusions. If we must use a fragrance oil; it is sourced from a reputable distributor and closely examined for quality and safe ingredients. All fragrance oils are used under 1% (and usually under .005%) and will be labeled if used.
Minimal to no Preservatives: The only products that could contain a safe preservative are products that contain water (e.g., lotion, moisturizer, eye serum). We use Optiphen Plus. Optiphen Plus is an all-natural preservative that is 100% plant based, paraben and formaldehyde free. All products can be made without preservatives, but it may significantly reduce its shelf life. For your safety, any water-based product shipped out or on our shelves will include Optiphen Plus unless specified otherwise. The shelf life of a water product without a preservative will range from 3 weeks to 5 months depending on the product.
Color: Our colorants are natural ingredients such as powdered fruits, flowers, clays, and minerals. Product colors tend to be muted and may vary slightly, as it is all handmade by one person and chemical free!
