Our Standard

Natural Botanicals

Every ingredient we use, organized the same way our products are — by collection.

Root & Resin

Bakuchiol — a plant compound from the Babchi plant that mimics retinol's effects without the irritation, used in our overnight serums.

Tremella & Reishi mushroom extract — forest-harvested fungi prized for binding moisture into skin far more effectively than many synthetic humectants.

Rosehip oil & jojoba oil — the base of our cleansing balms, chosen for how closely jojoba's structure mirrors skin's own natural oils.

Bentonite & French green clay — volcanic clays that draw out impurities without stripping the skin barrier.

Canopy & Leaf

Willow bark extract — a natural source of salicylic acid, used in our daily gel cleanser for gentle exfoliation.

Aloe vera & eucalyptus — hydrating, cooling botanicals behind our refreshing facial mists.

Polypodium vulgare (fern extract) — an antioxidant-rich fern compound used in our Canopy Serum for daily environmental protection.

Betula alba (birch bark) — the toning, clarifying base of our Forest Floor Cleanser.

The Crown

Activated charcoal & tea tree oil — a detoxifying pair used in our scalp scrubs to clear buildup at the root.

Rosemary extract — one of the most researched natural ingredients for scalp health, used in our root-stimulating serum.

Cedarwood & argan oil — lightweight bonding oils that smooth without weighing hair down.

Nettle & horsetail — mineral-rich botanicals in our zero-waste shampoo bars.

Forest Bathing

Balsam & pine needle essential oils — the evergreen backbone of our body washes, sourced to replicate the actual scent profile of an old-growth forest.

Vetiver & shea butter — a heavy, grounding moisture pairing for our whipped body butters.

The Natural Flush

Plant-derived squalane — pressed from olives, never shark liver, used as the emollient base of our tinted products.

Natural iron oxides — mineral pigments that give our skin tints their color, free of synthetic dyes.

The Apothecary

Arrowroot powder — a natural moisture-absorbing base that replaces aluminum in our deodorants.

Activated charcoal & eucalyptus — odor-neutralizing and cooling, without synthetic fragrance.

The Essence

Jojoba oil — the carrier base for our aromatherapy rollers, chosen for how gently it sits on skin.

Sandalwood, amber & bergamot — the core fragrance notes across our personal scent line, all plant- or naturally-derived.

The Hearth

Soy & coconut wax — vegan alternatives to beeswax and paraffin, chosen for clean, even burning.

Wooden wicks — sourced for the characteristic crackling sound, without synthetic cores.
