Summer Botanical Collection 2023 - SOLD OUT

Gathered during the tiny window of full bloom, this collection is an ode to Wild Rose. The fragrant delicate rose blooms for only a couple of weeks in abundance, and was timed perfectly with the emergence of swarms of mosquitos. For days I woke early, donned my full body mesh bug-suit and braved the thorns, thistles and bites to carefully collect the petals. It was an act of devotion and grit, but the results, I feel, were well worth it.
I hope you will enjoy this collection. It is full of awe and blush colored beauty. It encapsulates the high mountain green season, the strength of the summer solstice, and my long courting of rose. It includes five lush products and will arrive in an artfully packed gift box with all the royal color of summer. The formulas can be used any time of year to evoke the spirit of the season and the healing essence of the plants.
May your senses be enlivened, your heart mended with beauty.
*Botanicals are all wild-harvested in places of pristine beauty.
*I make every product by hand and do all photography, design & illustration.

Rosa woodsii

Rose has a mythic presence and in many cultures has been a symbol of beauty, love, protection and grace for millenia. As an astringent, rose tightens and tones tissue and helps remove excess fluid – allowing for better nutrient and waste transport. Rose is one of the most revered cosmetic ingredients- moisturizing, balancing, and rejuvenating. Wild rose was used for spiritual cleansing and protection by many indigenous cultures.
Rose hips

Rose hips are like a ruby treasure chest, densely packed with healing benefits. They are one of the best sources of vitamin C, and are also high in vitamin A, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories- helping to regenerate skin cells, heal wounds, and soften scars. Rose hips help to keep the skin elastic and nourished which will not only prevent wrinkles, but can actually help to minimize any that have already appeared. Internally, they are an excellent defense against colds and flus and nourish the blood.
Raspberry Leaf

Many ancient herbal traditions consider the leaves of raspberry a power plant. The leaves are astringent, which means it helps to tone and tighten tissue with particular support for the gastrointestinal tract and uterus. It has traditionally been used as a woman’s herb, to soothe menstrual cramps, pms, and support women in labor. It is a powerful antioxidant and contains vitamins A, B, and C as well as a variety of minerals including iron, magnesium, and selenium, and zinc.
Argan oil

Argan oil contains a large number of healing qualities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Both help reduce symptoms of a number of different inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and rosacea. Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, it also has anti-sebum effects, thus can help calm acne. In addition to being highly moisturizing, its strong vitamin content along with its natural fungicidal and antibacterial abilities, are excellent for healing wounds.
Hyaluronic Acid

HA is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout almost every fluid and tissue in our bodies, primarily in the skin, eyes, and joints. It is crucial to the moisture and elasticity of our skin. As we age, the concentration of HA substantially decreases. Hyaluronic acid is like a big drink of water for your skin and it also acts as a sponge to keep that moisture in. It protects the lipid barrier making skin better able to defend itself against environmental age-factors and pollutants. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates skin cell regeneration, and tones the skin for a more youthful appearance.
