vibrant food for the skin
Calendula
Calendula is in the marigold family. We grow calendula organically at our farm and hand harvest the blossoms at peak bloom. Flowers are dried, and then sun-infused into our carrier oils to extract the nurturing properties. Calendula is anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidants and extremely soothing to delicate skin. Aside from stimulating regeneration, calendula oil can significantly boost the appearance of your skin. It can affect blood flow to the skin cells, provide antioxidant protection that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and ages spots, and even the visibility of scars. Calendula helps promote smooth, even-toned skin with a youthful glow. Gentle on sensitive skin.
Red Clover
Our red clover grows naturally at the farm, and we wildcraft blossoms from Spring into the early Fall. Red clover can be used to get radiant, healthy skin. Red Clover may slow the process of skin aging due to its estrogen-like effects and help to maintain youthful and vibrant skin. It also ensures appropriate skin thickness and healthy keratinization and vascularity of the skin.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a golden liquid wax that is produced from the seed of the plant Simmondsia Chinensis.

Jojoba seed oil is highly absorbable with virtually no scent. It delivers maximum moisturization; perfect for sensitive, mature and even oily skin as it helps repair, balance and hydrate.

The oil contains Vitamin C, GLA and other fatty acids. It is very gentle, anti-inflammatory, boosts circulation and helps awaken tired skin and eyes. The oil also has comforting properties that can soothe redness associated with acne and other skin irritation.
Raw Honey

Raw honey maintains all the enzymes, royal jelly and propolis that are eliminated when heated and processed. Using only raw honey in our products gives you the total benefit available from this nectar of our powerful little pollinators. Honey is naturally antibacterial and full of antioxidants. It is clarifying, and extremely moisturizing and soothing; so it helps boost your complexion and makes your skin glow.

Essential Oils
We use many different essential oils in our formulas. Each one is pure therapeutic quality, and has specific indications for certain skin conditions. We take great care in sourcing only ethically and sustainably harvested oils for use in our products. Although they all smell divine, and certainly will lift your spirits, the blends we use are chosen specifically to assist your skin in looking and feeling its best.
Flower Essences
The flower essences in our formulas are hand crafted by the founder. Most of the essences are created from regional flowers from the Alpine Forests and High Deserts of the Rocky Mountains. Other essences are made from flowers grown right on our farm. Great care is taken in the crafting of these essences to bring you the highest vibrational alchemy and medicine of the blossoms, and in greatest respect for the plant. Only a small amount of blossoms are needed to make the Mother Essence, which is then diluted into stock bottles to supply us throughout the year.
HEMP
Hemp Seed Oil: The fats in the hemp seed oil we use perform brilliant effects on the skin to help remove dead skin cells, leaving you glowing. Hemp seed oil penetrates and lubricates skin cells but does not clog pores. It is an excellent anti-inflammatory, and helps balance sebum production. Hemp seed oil is also high in linoleic acid, which soothes dry patches, blotchy skin, inflammation, redness and itching.
