Did you know?
Chamomile has been used for centuries to calm the nervous system, soothe digestion, ease inflammation, and support sleep—inside and out. A cup of tea, a facial steam, a skin soak… this little daisy does a lot of heavy lifting.

In the garden, chamomile is just as generous. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, prefers well-drained soil, and doesn’t ask for much beyond occasional watering. The more you harvest the flowers, the more it blooms. Let a few go to seed and it will often return on its own.

We use this plant in our salves, and soaps for its skin soothing, calming properties - especially for sensitive or irritated skin.

Simple to use at home from your own garden:
Steep 1-2 tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Use the tea as a calming face rinse, add to a warm bath, or sip before bed.

Cold weather calls for a different approach to skin care.
In winter, we rely on a simple system:
soap to cleanse, salve to seal.
Gentle cleansing removes buildup without stripping the skin, while a salve applied afterward helps protect and lock in moisture — especially for hands and weather-exposed skin.
It’s not about using more, it’s about using what works together.

One of our favorite pairs for sensitive, dry skin that needs gentle care:

Aloe & Calendula Soap — gentle cleansing, soothing

Calendula Salve — seals in moisture, keeps skin soft

Original Tallow Balm — deep hydration for extra dry patches

Why it works:
Gentle cleansing plus a layered approach to hydration and repair. Perfect for hands, face, and body during cold months.

We are working on adding complementary items to our product pages so you can easily bundle items that work together as a skin care system!

Calendula Herb Spotlight

Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
A bright, resinous flower we return to again and again.

❇︎ Ways we use calendula
– Slow-infused in oil
– Blended into salves & balms
– Used in simple, everyday soaps

❇︎ Calendula has a long history of use in skin-focused preparations and is a staple in traditional herbal practices.

❇︎Growing notes
Calendula is a fast-growing annual that thrives with regular picking.
The more you harvest the blooms, the more it produces—making it a favorite for home growers and small gardens. It is also a prolific self seeder and does well here in zone 5a. It's frost hardy and very beginner friendly.

❇︎ From seed to skin
The same flowers grown in the garden are dried, infused, and carried through into our skincare—closing the loop from soil to skin.

❇︎ Where to find it
Want to grow your own? Visit our Etsy shop for a wide variety of seeds.
