PLant Heritage
We honor the heritage of these plants and the people who first understood their gifts with curiosity, gratitude, and respect.
calendula
mary's GOld
In medieval Europe, calendula was often called Mary’s Gold, or Mary-gold, in honor of the Virgin Mary. Its luminous golden flowers were associated with devotion, protection, and gentle care. Monks grew calendula in monastery gardens, and people used the golden blossoms to decorate her altars and celebrate feast days. Over time, Mary-gold evolved into the familiar name we know today: marigold.
WHY WE LOVE CALENDULA:
calendula is known to soothe irritation, support the skin barrier, help heal wounds, and provide antioxidant protection.
comfrey
knitbone
Comfrey has been beloved by herbalists for over 2,000 years and earned the nickname Knitbone for its traditional use in supporting the recovery of sprains, bruises, and broken bones. Rich in naturally occurring allantoin, this remarkable herb is associated with renewal, restoration, and helping the body put itself back together.
WHY WE LOVE COMFREY:
Comfrey is known to quickly heal wounds, reduces inflammation, is deeply hydrating, and helps protect the skin barrier.
jojoba
liquid GOld
For generations, Indigenous peoples of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico—including the Tohono O’odham, Apache, and Comcaac—treasured jojoba as a form of “liquid gold.” Its rich, nourishing oil was traditionally used to condition hair, soothe skin, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
WHY WE LOVE JOJOBA:
Jojoba Oil matches skin's natural sebum, this helps the oils (and other ingredients) to be quickly absorbed and held into the skin without feeling greasy.
olive
the great healer
Olive oil has been treasured by healers for over 6,000 years and earned the nickname The Great Healer from Hippocrates for its traditional use in soothing wounds, burns, and physical ailments. Rich in skin-nourishing antioxidants, this sacred liquid has long been associated with peace, longevity, and helping the body find deep restoration.
WHY WE LOVE OLIVE OIL:
Olive Oil moisturizes the skin, has vitamin E and antioxidants to protect the skin, and help reduce irritation.
rosehip
dog rose
Long before rosehips found their way into modern skincare, the wild rose earned the name Dog Rose (Rosa canina). Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder once promoted the plant as a remedy for mad dog bites, giving this resilient rose its unforgettable botanical name. Today, we’re more likely to reach for rosehips to support radiant, healthy-looking skin than to fend off rabid pups.
WHY WE LOVE ROSEHIPS:
Rosehip Oil boosts the hydration of the skin, tones, brightens, and can fade scars, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation.
sweet almond oil
the skin nectar
Recorded in early Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern text scrolls, sweet almond oil was historically revered as “The Skin Nectar” due to its unique ability to deeply feed and revive dry skin tissue. Because the sweet almond tree is the very first to blossom at winter's end, ancient cultures viewed its nectar as a magical shield of rebirth.
WHY WE LOVE sweet almond oil:
Sweet almond Oil is rich in vitamins and minerals, is calming and softening, and protects the skin barrier.
