We make (and grow) products the old-fashioned way: by hand, meticulously and mindfully, with care, patience, and a great respect for every step of the process.

Non-Toxic

Everything we produce is non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals including paraffin, phthalates, parabens, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, mutagens, and carcinogens.

All-Natural

We never use any synthetics or additives. Everything we use, quite literally, comes directly from nature because we believe nature knows best.
