We’re back! ☀️

After a wonderful week away with family, we’re officially back and ready to get your orders out.

We have quite a bit to catch up on, so we’ll be working through orders and messages in the order they were received. We expect to be caught up soon!

Thank you for your patience while we took some much-needed family time. We’re excited to be back and can’t wait to get your goodies headed your way. 💚

Ticks seem to be everywhere this year.

As more families spend time outdoors, we’re also seeing growing concerns about tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

While no repellent can guarantee complete protection, taking precautions can make a big difference.

Our Herbal Bug Repellent is made with plant-based ingredients and essential oils traditionally used to help deter mosquitoes and ticks, making it a great companion for hiking, camping, gardening, sports, and everyday outdoor adventures.

Available in both 2 oz and 8 oz sizes, many customers keep the 8 oz bottle at home and simply refill their 2 oz travel size as needed. It’s an easy way to stay stocked up all season long.

Don’t forget to do regular tick checks after spending time outdoors and take steps to protect yourself and your family.

Have you noticed more ticks this year where you live? 👇

I just realized something this morning… 👀

We are currently on order #9744 on the website.

Which means we are only 256 orders away from order #10,000.

So here’s what I’m doing:

Whoever places order #10,000 on Root & Clay will get their ENTIRE order refunded 💚

It honestly feels surreal even typing that.

What started with me making products in my kitchen for my own family somehow turned into this community. Thousands of orders. Thousands of people choosing Root & Clay for their homes, skincare, and families.

And the wild part?

That number doesn’t even include Etsy or TikTok Shop 😭

Thank you guys for being here. Seriously.

Now excuse me while I obsessively watch the order count with all of you 😂

“Natural.”
“Clean.”
“Plant-based.”
“Dermatologist tested.”

None of those words automatically mean a product is actually good for your skin.

The skincare industry knows people are paying more attention to ingredients now, so brands are getting very good at sounding safe without really changing much.

A label can say:
• “Made with aloe” while being mostly fillers
• “Fragrance free” while still containing masking fragrances
• “Natural” with synthetic dyes and harsh preservatives
• “Non-toxic” with zero regulation behind the claim

This is why ingredient transparency matters more than marketing words.

Don’t shop based on the front label. Flip it over.

The ingredients list tells the real story.

At Root & Clay, every ingredient serves a purpose. No filler buzzwords. No fake wellness aesthetic. Just formulas designed to actually function.

Greenwashing is getting harder to spot… but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Did a little poolside experimenting today ☀️

I’ve been testing a rich zinc oxide based “Outside Cream” made with my tallow cream as the base and honestly… I’m kind of obsessed with how it turned out.

Before anyone asks, no, I can’t sell “sunscreen” unless products go through official SPF testing and FDA regulations.

BUT.

A mineral based Outside Cream for summer skin, pool days, gardening, lake trips, baseball games, and long days outdoors?

That might be another story 👀

Still testing texture, heat stability, and wear, but this one feels very Root & Clay.

Would you try something like this?

“Natural deodorants never worked for me…” until they did. 👀

Messages like this are exactly why I created our Magnesium Deodorant. No harsh ingredients. No overpowering fragrance. Just simple ingredients that actually work.

Julia said she hasn’t used commercial deodorant in MONTHS after switching. 🤯

If you’ve been disappointed by natural deodorants before, this might be the one that changes your mind too. 🌿✨
