New product development in the works with the comfrey that I picked yesterday 🌱

Working on a warming comfrey ointment for sore, overworked muscles, joints, and tendons. Comfrey has been traditionally used in topical care for strains, sprains, and areas that need support. I’ve added a little ginger for warmth and because as you may know i LOVE ginger (so many applications!), and I may finish it with just a touch of menthol for that deep, comforting feel.

What do you think? Menthol or no menthol!? 😀

I made this one for all the summer moments we love — working in the garden, sitting outside in the evening, walking near the woods, or being anywhere mosquitoes seem to find us first.

Our Citronella Bug Repellent Salve with Blue Tansy is made with citronella to help keep mosquitoes and other biting insects away, but I wanted it to feel like skincare too.

It has shea butter, mango butter, and blue tansy, so it leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished — not sticky, harsh, or drying.

A practical little summer salve, made with beautiful ingredients.

Pleased to be partnering with another eco-friendly business, Miel au Carré, at the wonderful Pengrove Market in Hudson, 133 Main Street.

If you’re curious about bees, thinking about starting beekeeping, or already have hives and need guidance, you’ll definitely want to visit Vanessa’s Bee Hub.

Vanessa is there to answer questions, share her knowledge, and help people better understand the important role bees play in our environment. The Bee Hub even has a viewing gallery, where you can watch live hive inspections and learn more about the fascinating world of bees.

These are fresh linden flowers straight from our fields last July — one of my many favourite moments of the growing season. The scent is just incredible. Soft, sweet, a little honey-like, and it’s here for such a brief window before it’s gone. 🍯

I love linden so much that I worked it into my Calendula Cream. The linden aromatic oils bring that same gentle warmth to it — calming, comforting, and exactly what I was going for. If you’re someone who stops and breathes it in every time you walk past a linden tree, this one’s for you. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

Blue tansy is one I love to work with . This is a blend that I am using for my topical bug repellent made with shea and mango butters and of course citronella.

Blue tansy, botanically, is Tanacetum annuum, native to northwestern Morocco. It has been used there traditionally for skin inflammation, respiratory complaints, and allergic reactions.. The oil distills blue because of chamazulene, a compound that forms during the distillation process itself and is responsible for much of its anti-inflammatory action. Yellow flowers, cobalt blue oil - too cool 😎 🩵.

Lemon balm has been used to ease anxiety and lift mood for centuries — and it turns out there’s real science behind why.

Researchers have identified rosmarinic acid, one of its key constituents, as an inhibitor of an enzyme that breaks down calming neurotransmitters in the brain.

The full picture is still being studied, but the mechanism is plausible and the traditional use is consistent with what the research is finding.

People who help people with plants knew this long before the lab caught up. We grow it here at Happy Hollows it’s one of those plants that just makes you feel good to be around — even before you steep it. 🥰💗🍃🍃

I often get asked: when should I use the serum, and when should I use the elixir concentrate. And this is what I say! 🥰

🌼 Rosehip Calendula Serum is best for:

• Daily hydration
• Sensitive skin
• Barrier support
• Weather-exposed or dry-feeling skin
• Lightweight everyday nourishment
• Morning and evening use

🌹 Wild Rosehip Facial Elixir Concentrate is best for:

• Deep nourishment
• Dry or mature-looking skin
• Dull or depleted skin
• Evening skincare rituals
• Seasonal dryness
• A richer, more concentrated oil experience
