Why Natural Skincare Matters
- Jan 7
- 2 min read
On our farm, we believe your skin deserves the same care and integrity as your food. That’s why we craft our skincare with natural ingredients— they're gentler, more nourishing, customizable, and cheaper than their commercial counterpart!
Most store-bought skincare products contain synthetic detergents, preservatives, and emulsifiers that:
Strip your skin’s natural oils
Disrupt your skin barrier
Cause dryness, irritation, or breakouts
Include mystery additives you can’t pronounce
Disrupt hormones associated with developmental and reproductive activity.
Cause endocrine disruption
Trigger allergies
These chemicals absorb through the skin, the body's largest organ. While individual exposure from one product may be low, daily use of multiple items adds up.
We choose ingredients that work with your skin—not against it.
Our formulas are built around ingredients that are gentle, effective, and farm-approved:
Vitamin E oil: A powerful antioxidant that supports skin healing, reduces inflammation, and helps lock in moisture
Extra virgin olive oil: Rich in fatty acids and polyphenols, it deeply nourishes and protects the skin barrier
Honey (in our body wash and salt scrub): Naturally antibacterial, humectant-rich, and soothing for dry or irritated skin
Redmond salt (in our salt scrub): Mineral-rich and gently exfoliating, sourced from ancient sea beds in Utah
Bentonite clay (in our face wash): Detoxifying and oil-balancing, perfect for drawing out impurities without stripping
Rolled oats (in our face wash): Calming, anti-inflammatory, and ideal for sensitive or reactive skin
Essential oils and herbs: Add scent, support healing, and have therapeutic benefits.
