The first restock drop is this Friday... and it's just in time for my Love Yourself Sale!

At long last, the Egyptian Cucumber Quench Cream is making a return!!

It's the first lotion I ever formulated, and while I've tinkered with the formula over the years to pump up the hydration and nourishment, it's still a stripped-down, no-nonsense blend of fresh sunflower oil, freshly pressed cucumber juice, and a swirl of cucumber seed oil.

It soaks in quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and happy, and as an added bonus, contains zero colorants, micas, coal tar dyes, perfumes, masking aromas or essential oils. The clean cucumber scent and jade hue are strictly from the ingredients!

PRO TIP: It will be on sale for all of February! :)

Clay Bars are one of my favorite products to make, but they take forever to dry, and they are surprisingly delicate.

The flip side is that they are are a lovely, gentle exfoliant, perfect for daily use! While bubbly cleansers have a place and time, they can often strip the skin of precious oils, and destroy the natural pH, making you more susceptible to irritations, breakouts, and redness.

Clay Bars are natural soap free, made with finely milled botanicals, clays and luxious botanical extracts to gently cleanse, tone and nourish. They can take a little while to get used to, if you contsantly crave bubbles. But they are so incredibly worth it!

I’m not great at creating content, but I am pretty dåmn awesome at creating items!

At farmer’s markets, I hear alot of “oh, just soap”, which amazes me, because bar soaps account for about 5% of what a make! 😱 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whether it’s “just a bar soap”, a body care products, or a spirit care curio like my Talisman Bracelets, every single item, from beginning to end is crafted by me. There’s no hidden workshop, no white labelling, no mass production.

Doing it myself allows me to immerse in the process, to engage meaningfully with the materials. It challenges and encourages me to find new ways to create mindful, sustainable and ethical items, and gives me full control over the quality. It gives me immense pride to know that every item I offer meets my personal standards (which I am often told are too high… 🧐).

It is slow work, soulful work, work that makes me excited to get out of bed and start the day. I can’t imagine doing anything else in the world, and having it fill me with half as much joy!🥹 🥹 🥹
