Hypericum perforatum. St. John’s Wort is not about changing who you are. When consumed or applied with care, this little yellow flower has no known side effects, and yet it has a broad range of action; it supports the nervous system, eases digestive problems, speeds the healing of cuts and burns, relieves sciatica & other neurologic pain, and can even support the body in defence against certain viruses. ... We collect the tops just before full bloom in late June, and macerate the fresh plant into oil for our Comfrey & Goldenrod Salve, or we infuse it into alcohol to make our St. John’s Wort Tincture. I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am. Plath @ Peterborough, Ontario

New batch of the Orange Blossom Cream is ready! Its deep orange hue is created with sea buckthorn oil, co-enzyme q10, & rosehip oil; all of which are rich in fatty acids, vitamin c, vitamin a (retinol), and vitamin e. We’ve also made sure that this cream is scent-free, non-comedogenic, and occlusive so that the most sensitive skin-types will benefit from it too.

Making skincare evolved out of my study of the nutritional benefits of whole foods, and from understanding holistic health and wellbeing as synonymous. Skincare made from infusions of the whole plant, unrefined, undiluted.
