Precious Skin Elixirs

Sterling Honey Polish ✨ Have you fallen in love yet with this sweet honey/earthen clay mask?

🍯 Humans’ use of honey goes as far back as 8000 years, as depicted by Stone Age paintings. Honey, in it’s raw form, is an incredible healer and when mixed with the clays, botanicals, and colloidal silver in Sterling Honey Polish, the result is an incredibly nourishing facial treatment that brings out your skin’s natural glow.

🍯 There are many beautiful honey and clay based facial masks to choose from these days. As an herbalist and lover of all things born in nature I’m heartened by all these natural options that encourage healthful, earth-connected care of our precious skin.

Oil cleansing has dramatically improved my skin. I got rid of a Mirena IUD 8 years ago and my skin freaked out! Cystic acne, weird flaky patches, and waking up to another breakout had me getting depressed. I longed for clear, smooth, and healthy skin.

💚 I started experimenting with oil cleansing formulas to help my skin stay as peaceful and clear as possible while I rode out all the hormonal fluctuations. And you know what? I discovered a profound re-set in cleansing with oils. My skin was the healthiest it had been in a while. Yes, my hormones were still wacky, but my skin was finally getting the proper cleansing that supported TRUE skin health.

💚 I fell in love with oil cleansing and I wanted to make something that provided deep cleansing power AND nourishment. And so, Peridot Cleansing Balm was born. Made from h**p seed oil, jojoba, kalahari seed oil, and tamanu oil combined with silky kokum butter, Peridot provides skin with an ideal foundation for natural skin care that prioritizes BALANCE. Respecting skin’s natural balance is the key to addressing acne, dryness, and all sort of irritations.

💚 The massage skin gets while cleansing moves a lot of stagnation through the lymph, fascia, and muscles… not to mention how your tender touch upon your skin sends waves of seratonin through your body. All this creates the proper conditions for your skin to be at its healthiest and most vibrant.

Nothing like berry stained fingertips and a handful of wild blackberries on an August afternoon. 💜 These are going into a peach blackberry buckle later today. What’s growing wild near you?

I was given this beautiful block of cacao and shown how to make true Peruvian hot chocolate 💜 My new favorite! This came from if you’re interested in amazing, pure cacao.
