wrinkles in the sand
wrinkles in the skin

both shaped over time
both a response to what’s been experienced

but somewhere along the way,
we decided one was natural
and the other needed to be changed

when really,
they’re formed the same way

through movement
through exposure
through being here on this beautiful Earth

nothing to fix
just evidence of a life that’s been lived

we’d love to see the small connections to nature you’re noticing✨

Shampoo Bar!
“I feel like I have my old hair back. I’ve been using the bar for two weeks now and I love how my hair feels and looks. It lathers up nice and I love that I’m not using plastic.”

Introducing a Sunday series: Plant or Human

We’ve been reflecting on how humans mirror the natural world, not as something separate, but as a part of it.

We’re inherently connected, shaped by the same rhythms and forces.

Not just in how we look, but in how we move, respond, and adapt.

So this series is an invitation to notice more, to soften, to reconnect with whats around you.

Each Sunday, we’ll share moments where the line between plant and human begins to dissolve.

This week, we wanted to start simply:

It’s a plant! It’s tree bark :)

We couldn’t unsee how similar it is to our skin,
a shield between important organs and the outer world,
protecting, holding, responding.

Every crease, every layer, is not random.

Like laugh lines. Like scars.

Skin and tree bark; different in form, but shaped by the same purpose: to protect, to adapt, and to carry the visible story of a life well lived. ❤️

We’d love to see what you’re noticing.
What you see, your perspective, and your moments of recognition.

Tag us to be part of it,
or simply stay present and see what unfolds each week.

This post is for all the nerds out there:

Let us tell you about Laurel wax, also known as bayberry wax, is one of those ingredients we love because it carries both history and real skin function.

It comes from the berries of the bayberry shrub, where the natural wax can be released by slowly boiling the berries and collecting the wax that rises to the surface.

Because bayberry grows in windy coastal environments, the wax produced by its berries is naturally protective and durable. That protective character is part of why it became such a valued ingredient in traditional balms and skin preparations.

For generations it was used in candles and traditional herbal salves throughout North America, valued for its ability to help comfort and protect dry or weather-exposed skin.

Bayberry (where laurel wax comes from) is native to:
• Northeastern United States
• Mid-Atlantic states
• Great Lakes region
• Eastern Canada

What makes laurel wax especially interesting from a formulation standpoint is its composition.

It contains natural fatty acids and wax esters that help create a soft, breathable barrier on the skin. This barrier helps reduce moisture loss while protecting the skin from environmental stress like wind, cold, and dry air.

It also contains plant compounds that contribute mild antioxidant and soothing properties, which support the skin’s natural barrier and recovery processes.

Laurel wax creates a beautifully smooth texture that glides onto the skin while helping lock in hydration.

It is particularly well suited for delicate areas like around the eyes where the skin benefits from gentle protection and nourishment.

For us, ingredients like laurel wax represent the intersection of traditional plant knowledge, function of use, and modern skin science.

They remind us that some of the most effective ways to care for skin come from understanding the chemistry of plants and where they naturally grow that have supported skin health for generations.

Because there is no Planet B.

So we choose to do things differently.

Lotion bars.
Shampoo bars.
Refill options.
Paper packets.
Glass jars.
Cardboard lip balm and deodorant tubes.
Upcycled shipping materials.

We push ourselves to create low-waste products because we believe we all have a part to play in caring for this place we call home.

Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it’s easy.

Because it matters.

Because we love this place we get to call home and want to help keep it beautiful for generations to come. 🌎
