my own personal rituals, below...…
{ morning }
warm water on a soft cloth or a small scoop of cleansing grains
spritz of facial tonic
3-4 drops nourishing serum or balancing serum
& SPF of your choice
Restore a sense of calm and equilibrium to stressed or fussy skin with our new Balancing Facial Oil. Gentle and cooling, this oil gracefully brings your skin back into balance with nourishing organic oils and infusions, including sustainably harvested organic frankincense from Somaliland, sencha green tea, German chamomile, blue tansy and yarrow.
A meditation on rose geranium. Our own rose geranium hydrosol, grown on the windowsills of our studio and distilled in-house in a copper alembic still mingles with the barest hint of organic rose geranium sur fleurs essence. A rare and special essential oil co-distillation of rose geranium and rosa damascena, bringing together the best of each skin-loving plant in a truly divine harmony. Both plants are known for their balancing effects, which I find especially helpful during the transition from winter into spring. The scent imparts a sense of joy and reinvigoration to the spirit.
A fresh edition of our most transformative facial oil. Thoughtfully composed, this serum unfolds in layer upon layer of exquisite botanical essences and infusions, all chosen for their richly moisturizing and renewing properties. The gorgeous floral scent scent of neroli, rose and jasmine restores skin and spirit. Your skin will glow with radiance!
How to use: Gently pat a few drops of serum onto clean face, neck and décolletage after misting with your favorite hydrosol, while skin is still damp. A little goes a long way.

{ evening }
rose & chamomile honey & clay cleanser or rose & chamomile cleansing grains
spritz of facial tonic
3-4 drops serum or a small dab of nourishing facial balm
A deeply nourishing blend of exquisitely pure hydrosols of wild rosehip and organic calendula, distilled in small batches by Wildroot Botanicals in Bellingham, WA. To complete the formula, a hint of gorgeous organic Corsican helichrysum and a little organic glycerine to help lock in moisture.
to use: Spritz on or sweep a small amount of Facial Tonic on a cotton puff across the skin after cleansing, or to remove make-up. Follow with a few drops of Nourishing Serum for ultimate hydration. Can also be used at any time during the day to renew and refresh.
Because hydrosols are extraordinarily delicate & powerful plant essences, we do recommend that you store this tonic in the fridge, or at least a cool spot below 75F. It will stay fresh much longer this way, and feels even more refreshing to the skin - especially in the summer months! Please use within 6 months of purchase.
{50ml or 100ml violet glass bottle with atomizer top)
ingredients: wildcrafted rosehip hydrosol, organic calendula hydrosol, organic vegetable glycerine, essential oil of organic Corsican helichrysum
This Facial Tonic is gentle enough even for sensitive skin, and is full of soothing botanicals, but as with any product that's new to you, try a small patch test first to ensure its compatibility with your skin. As with all products containing plant essences, please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
