“I love the Facial Cleanse. It smells and feels so good. I introduced it to my mom. She closes her eyes and makes noises when she puts it on. ”
For skin so natural, you won’t want makeup. Our face butter won’t clog pores and is good for all skin types.
We wildcraft the herbs that grow prolific and wild here in the Missouri Ozarks on our “beyond organic” farm. Herbs like:
Rose Hips for Vitamin C, carotenoids, and Omega 6; Wild Carrot rich in Carotene and Vitamin A; and Coriander from our gardens for Vitamin C and its anti-bacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
The herbs are infused for 6 weeks into non-pore clogging and soothing sunflower seed oil. Sunflower seed lecithin is added to pull moisture under the skin. Finally, they are blended to perfection with shea butter to regenerate worn skin cells and support elasticity.
NO artificial fragrances! Less than 1% steam distilled, pure, and undiluted Essential Oil is added where indicated.
Store-bought creams and lotions are 60-75% water!
Commercial cosmetic manufacturers use emulsifiers and preservatives to keep this stagnant water mixed into the oil. They add cheap, toxic fillers like propylene glycol, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic dyes and fragrances, PEGs, and silicone. These are ingredients that can cause eczema and other skin problems, including cancer.
“eWax” is a seemingly harmless ingredient name and used as a lotion emulsifier, even in “natural” creams and lotions. eWax is NOT healthy and made by treating a wax material, such as vegetable or petroleum-based wax, with a detergent to bind oils and water. They are often made from blends of Cetearyl Alcohol and Glyceryl Stearate, and can also contain other emulsifiers like Polysorbate 60. We will NEVER use this!
“I wanted to sell the healthiest cream on the planet so decided to take emulsification chemistry. That’s when I discovered the cosmetic industry has been selling us water for decades. Oil & water emulsification (invented in the early 1900s to sell you water) was not the answer.
In my quest to see how our ancestors did it, I re-discovered the pure luxury of Facial Butters!”
I asked myself what did our ancestors do? They used organic herbs, oils, and butters or fats, so they didn't NEED the fillers. This blend is naturally shelf-stable because there is no water to separate or mold.
This butter is so concentrated, it takes about year to finish a jar if used just for the face…
but don’t stop there!

“ “I so love the butters, but the facial cleanse is amazing and my personal favorite! I have used her products for the last couple of years and it has been very helpful in minimizing the creepiness of my 67 year old skin! I use it as an moisturizer right out of the shower and my hair absolutely loves it! The delicate Rose smell amazing! Thank you Jamie for your knowledge, expertise and love that you put into all of your products! A huge fan!””

Home Made wax chips cleaned from the heat of the wood stove.
Salves are the easiest way to use herbs on your skin, they are simply herbal infused oils mixed with all natural bees wax.
We take organically grown and wild harvested herbs and infuse them in oil for 6 weeks. Some of our formulas use sunflower seed oil and castor oil in others. These oils won’t clog pores and castor oil is a powerhouse in it’s own right. The jars are turned daily to maximize the extraction process.
Applying oils directly to the skin can be a messy process. So our grandparents learned to take healing wax and create salves. We get raw wax from neighboring bee keepers and clean it on the wood stove in the winter. I then make my own wax chips to add to the salves.
Most salve makers use wax pastilles which are over processed and imported from China or Poland. The color can best be described as anemic. Some We keep life in our products.
The word salve comes from the Latin verb salvere, meaning 'to be well'.
Be well!

Herbal Facial Cleanse, rose
Ancient people understood the simple routine of cleaning your skin with herbs and oil.
For thousands of years, people used oil, not soap to clean their face. Facial cleansing oils work because "like attracts like" or "like dissolves like". Facial Cleanse dissolves oil or makeup without stripping, drying, irritating your skin or altering your own natural pH. Discover a dramatic difference in the softness, health, and glow of your skin.
This is formulated using oils that will not clog pores. You simply rub in and wipe off. Our facial cleanse is crafted with wild rose petals to cool and soothe and yarrow to help kill bacteria that causes cystic acne. The smell is pure rose.
This can also be used as a face serum in place of face cream or butter. It can also be used in the hair to tone down frizz.
“Beauty means the scent of roses”

““It’s been such a relief to find a product that I can trust. As a person who is sensitive to preservatives and chemicals the simplicity of these products keeps me coming back! Moreover as a professional massage therapist, I love being able to offer these products without concern for the outcomes of my clients after they leave the treatment room.”
