Small-batch skincare apothecary · Burlington, Vermont
Facial serums, tallow and shea balms, clay masks, herbal toner mists and a refillable cleanser — sorted by the plants that carry them, so you can read the ingredient before you buy the bottle.
The field guide
We group the catalog by what grew, not by what it promises. Find the botanical you came for, and everything it turns up in sits on the same shelf.

Weighed by hand, in small batches
Each plate is a plant we use — pressed, flattened and filed with the collection it came from. Under it, the serums, balms, masks and mists it turns up in are listed as one straight row, so you can read about the plant and add it to your bag without leaving the page.

Every row ends in an add to bag, whether the plant sent you there or you came for the bottle.
