Natural beauty pioneers
Long before “clean beauty” became an industry trend we were helping shape a different conversation around skincare.
We were the the first to:
- Educate about the skin’s protective barrier.
- Combine plant hydrosols with botanical oil serums to support the hydrolipid barrier.
- Distill aromatic plants for the hydrosol alone, using hand-hammered copper stills.
- Transparently share long-term sourcing partnerships with stewards around the world.
We value therapy and simplicity
We believe that less is more, and act with the knowledge that the less you interfere with the skin’s ability to achieve balance the better.
Inspired by ancient beauty practices, nature and its cycles, ayurveda, homeopathy and traditional western herbalism, our approach is a fusion of modalities centered around the goal of realigning skin with its highest potential and awakening its innate resilient, adaptable nature.
We view organic as the starting point.
We are Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth, ensuring the purity and integrity of our ingredients. In addition, many of our ingredients are evolving—surpassing organic certification to become Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) or Certified Regenified.
What our certifications mean
Ancient wisdom for radiant skin
We recognize that healing is not just about what we apply to our skin, but about how we reconnect with the wisdom of the Earth. Just as the Earth regenerates through cycles of renewal, so too does our skin, when given the space to breathe, release, and replenish.
We do not force the skin; we listen to it. We work in partnership with plants, clays, and oil — gifts from the natural world that support the skin’s innate intelligence.
We planted a seed and watched it grow
Since 1999 we have been guided by a holistic approach to skincare.
We are planting the seeds for a community of holistic land stewards, artisans, estheticians, healers, educators, creatives and like-minded brands who are rooted in ancient tradition. Together we play a critical and inspirational role in fostering a thriving regenerative future.
