The Botanical Apothecary: Nature’s Skincare Ingredients, Explained

"She blooms where the sun kisses the earth and her petals whisper healing secrets."

Step into my garden apothecary 🌿

Each of these plants, oils, and natural ingredients has a story — how I grow it, why I chose it, and what it brings to your skin. I infuse, blend, and bottle these botanicals by hand to create products that are as gentle as they are powerful.

✨ Whether you're exploring ingredients or shopping for something soothing, here's a peek into my personal botanical library.

Dry Skin? → Safflower, Macadamia

Lightweight, high in vitamin E, and non-comedogenic—sunflower oil nourishes without clogging pores. It’s my go-to base for infusions, especially for acne-prone or combination skin.
