FAQs

Storage

While most of these products can stay fresh for over a year, storing them in a cool, dry, and dark place will help them last longer. They have no added preservatives and are stable on their own, thanks to the antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial nature of the infused oils.

Is a balm too grainy?

Graininess in the balms is 100% natural and is caused by the crystallization of shea butter. If you find a product too grainy for your liking, feel free to heat it up to the point of melting, keep it in a liquid state for about 20 minutes, and then cool it quickly in a fridge. In most cases, crystallization will be minor and will melt on contact with skin.

DISCLAIMER - May contain small amounts of Aloe Latex

Because my products contain locally harvested aloe vera plants, they aren't as finely filtered as commercial products. They also contain no artificial preservatives and are all natural. That being said, they may contain trace amounts of aloe vera latex, a gentle laxative. If you experience complications, please discontinue use.

DISCLAIMER - Contains small amounts of Ethanol

All of my products contain very small amounts of ethanol (found in grain alcohol). This is due to the extraction process I use to get maximum-strength herbal tinctures. For premium blends, alcohol must be used to extract the water-soluble nutrients in the plants.

All-natural moisturizers are included in my salves and bath bombs which will make up for any loss in moisture due to the alcohol.

Could I be allergic?

My products are all-natural and safe for most users. However, if you are aware of an existing allergy to yarrow or related herbs such as feverfew, chamomile, echinacea, or calendula, these products may not be suitable for you. Check the product page for specific ingredients.

Color Variations

As with any handmade product, there may be slight variations in color, etc. from what you see in the pictures. If you are concerned you may have gotten the wrong product or otherwise, please message me directly! I will gladly answer any questions you may have.

Crumbly Bath Bombs

My bath bombs are packaged and shipped with the utmost care in sustainable packaging (even the tape is compostable!) However, my updated recipe for bath bombs has made them much sturdier than some in my first batches.

If you receive a broken bath bomb and would like a replacement please message me directly, I will be happy to address your concerns.
