This Saturday is Kids & Family Fun Day at the Blue Ridge Music Center — just 4 miles down the road from Alywillow, on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. Come spend the day in the mountains - enjoying the music, culture, and living heritage our region is known for. Afterward, wander over to Alywillow, inside Ravenlia Galleria, and explore over 200 pure botanical creations, handcrafted goods, local art, antiques, and one-of-a-kind treasures.

There is something deeply healing about mountain music, fresh air, and slowing down long enough to enjoy the beauty around you.

For decades, we’ve been taught to fear the sun entirely… yet our ancestors lived in rhythm with it.

At Alywillow, we believe there is wisdom in understanding the natural phases of daylight instead of simply avoiding the outdoors altogether. Gentle morning and evening light can feel very different from the intense direct light of midday.

This is part of the philosophy behind our botanical sun-support approach — supporting the skin with pure botanicals, antioxidants, minerals, and nutrient-rich oils rather than relying solely on synthetic-heavy routines.

If this perspective resonates with you, I invite you to explore our article:

“Sun Support, Naturally”

Pure plants. Zero synthetics. Nature in rhythm. ☀️

For generations, we’ve been led to believe that eczema begins and ends on the surface of the skin. Yet, what if that understanding is incomplete? I invite you to explore a new perspective on eczema, one that looks deeper into natural balance, whole body wellness, and what I call the living root within. https://alywillow.com/collections/eczema-relief

Experiencing irritation from poison ivy, poison oak, bug bites, and other hive-like skin reactions? Choose Native Shield to help comfort itchy, irritated skin. At Alywillow, we believe products should work in harmony with the body — not against it. Simply shake the bottle (as there are no synthetic emulsifiers and the ingredients need to be blended), then spray over the exposed or irritated skin as needed.

Are you tired of filling your body and home with synthetic chemicals?
We’ve been fed lies for decades—told that synthetic chemicals in our food, lotions, and shampoos were harmless. Meanwhile, your skin—your body’s largest organ—was silently exposed to them daily.

We chose to do things differently. Meet Alywillow: 200+ pure-plant & mineral skincare gems with ZERO synthetics - now made in Galax! Every drop delivers real nutrients your skin can absorb and use as part of a healthy lifestyle to help you thrive. Most natural products also contain synthetic ingredients, but not us! We use only pure plants and minerals - that's all!

Our goal is to improve your life and support overall wellness through a more natural way of living. Visit our showroom, inside Ravenlia Galleria in Galax, Virginia, where you can smell, feel, and experience Alywillow products before taking them home.

Our ancestors lived without synthetic chemicals, and so can we.

We had some very special helpers at Alywillow last week 💛 As part of the Rise Kindness Project at Hillsville Elementary School, two brothers (with their awesome parents!) came into our production facility (behind our showroom inside of Ravenlia Galleria) to learn how to label lip balms headed to Hillsville Health & Rehab Center. Lots of smiles, a little learning, and a whole lot of heart. They’re discovering that giving back can actually be pretty fun.

Many of you have lovingly supported Painted Tree Boutiques locations where several of our wonderful vendors carried Alywillow products. Last week, Painted Tree suddenly closed its doors, and vendors were given only a short time to move out.

Because of this, Daleen Designs locations in Raleigh and Cary, NC are no longer open there.

Please know this is only a change of location—not an ending. Daleen Designs is actively seeking a new home and will share updates soon.

In the meantime:
• You may contact Daleen Designs directly for their handmade pieces and Alywillow products
• Or order from Alywillow online, and simply mention Daleen Designs at checkout

Thank you for continuing to support small businesses through seasons of change. 🌿

We wanted to share an important update with our Daleen Designs/Alywillow customers.

Painted Tree Boutiques is closed as of today, and we know many of you have supported us there for the last 4+ years—we’re so grateful for that. While this chapter is ending, Daleen Designs/Alywillow is not going anywhere.

We will keep you informed every step of the way as we transition and share where you can continue to find our handmade pieces and all of our beloved Alywillow products. Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and love—it truly means everything to us.

Stay tuned for updates 💛

Most lotions are filled with water, synthetics, and fillers.

Ours?
Only moisturizers.

No alcohol. No fillers. No synthetic additives—just concentrated botanicals your skin can actually recognize. And, they are so pure, you need to shake the bottle before spraying.

Once you see the difference, you can’t unsee it. 🌿

Choose the level right for you.
- Level 1 Facial Moisturizer - for oily to normal skin
- Level 2 Facial Moisturizer - for dry or mature skin
- Level 3 is for body, face and hair - normal to oily skin
- Level 4 is for body, face, and hair - normal to dry skin
- Level 5 is for body, face, and hair - normal to very dry skin
