Our Method
We transform botanicals into handcrafted skincare—from seed to salve.
From seed-sowing and harvesting to oil infusion and small-batch salve creation, every step reflects care, tradition, and sustainable practices. Our method honors the traditional herbalist approach, ensuring every ingredient retains its full potency, fragrance, and healing properties.
Our Process
Seed Sowing & Garden Care
In late winter, we sow calendula and other herbal seeds indoors in a dedicated germination space. By early spring, seedlings are ready to transplant into the garden, where they are nurtured throughout the growing season.
Harvesting
During the blooming season, flowers are hand-picked daily at peak potency. Calendula flower heads, for example, are laid out to dry on screens, preserving their vibrant color and natural oils.
Infusing Oils
Once dried, the Calendula blossoms are infused in jars of oil and placed in a warm, sunny spot for a minimum of two weeks or are infused using the double-boiler method. Both of these slow infusion methods extract the herbs’ beneficial properties, producing a rich, golden-hued oil.
Crafting Salves
The calendula oil at this point is ready to use on its own or made into a salve by mixing it with beeswax. Each batch is carefully poured into containers and allowed to cool.
Small-Batch & Sustainable Practices
Each batch is made with care and attention, ensuring consistent quality
