SEASONAL IS SUSTAINABLE

We have redefined our product range to move organically with the seasons insuring we don’t need to look outside of our own production for raw ingredients. The foundations of our work starts and ends in our own gardens, hand planted and harvested. From plants in the morning to skincare in the evening.

Skincare that sustainably mirrors the seasons.

Why is seasonal skincare important?

Our herbs are harvested seasonally at there peak and are used to make the infused oils, plant extracts and distillates. We believe that ‘Sustainable Skincare is Seasonal’. A skin care range that embodies the plants and herbs that come in and out of the seasons. Seasons are in a constant state of transition and so our skin care needs to also mirror these changes. What we put on our skin in the depths of winter will be different to what we use in the height of summer.

The potent infused oils are created with our nurtured garden herbs that wild harvested mindfully in New Zealand.

Our infused oils are made by macerating and infusing the hand-harvested medicinal herbs into organic and high quality carrier oils for four weeks, they are then strained and used throughout the range.

The distillates made in house are made fresh using hand-harvested flora and garden grown herbs. These distilled waters are then created in our copper alembic still. A process that captures celestial wisdom and a vital part of our skincare range.

Production in the studio is not the priority, the priority is the production of high quality, potent and carefully executed work.

Distillates (plant waters) are created by either submerging the plant matter into the water in the pot, which is called a hydrosol or placing the plant matter into the basket on top of the top of boiling water so the plants are only subjected to steam, which is called a steam distillation . These distillates are crafted in the studio in our ancient alembic copper still, the steam or embodiment of water erupts the plants cellular walls capturing the magic and potent medicine within them. The steam then condenses back into water through the condenser bucket, creating the distillate, a plant essence saturated with an array of healing qualities. I respect and deeply understands the alchemy and transition the plant journeys through in this process. These distillates (the spirit of the plant) are used instead of water in our creams. The essential oils (the soul of the plant) are not separated from these distillates. It aligns with our integrity that we keep our herbal preparations, when possible, in whole form.

Making our work unique, slower and embodied with intention and purpose that results in the purest elixirs that nourish your skin. We plant, grow and strive to have direct contact with most raw ingredients and herbs. This connection with the botany defines the heart of our work, it is powerful and this relationship is a humbling foundations of wellness that harmonises spiritually, emotionally and physically. Every drop of this skin care is made with intention and purpose, so enjoy the products and nature that flows through them at its absolute purest.
