Because our formulas are nutrient-dense and filler-free, you only need a very small amount per use. Most customers find one jar lasts 6–12 months depending on frequency and skin needs — making each product more cost-efficient over time than traditional skincare.

Yes. Because we use mostly raw, unrefined ingredients, we recommend using products within 12 months of purchase. We keep minimal stock and often make on demand, so you receive the freshest product possible. Powdered products keep longer — up to 24 months.

We source almost all of our ingredients from local or USA suppliers. A few of them:

• Local San Diego & US family farms — organic, locally grown hops, CBD wax, and Arizona-grown jojoba oil.
• Bulk Naturals — 100% pure and undiluted, from their permaculture farm in the Ozarks and a local homesteading community.
• Wholesale Botanics — responsibly sourced, cruelty-free, made in the USA.
• Nature In Bottle — rigorously vetted suppliers and quality testing, with no synthetics, contaminants, or cheap fillers, and a transparent, ethical supply chain.
• Jedwards International — a wholesale supplier of natural ingredients, including difficult-to-source and custom-manufactured materials.

We use Ecocert broad-spectrum preservatives in products that contain water or will come into contact with water. Our dry/powdered and oil/butter products contain no preservatives. Our preservative is Ecocert-accepted for natural and organic certified cosmetics, Soil Association approved, and certified vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

We want to conserve water, so most of our products are made without added water. Water-free formulas are more sustainable and have a longer shelf life. Because our oil-based and bar products contain no added water, they're lighter (reducing transport emissions), longer-lasting, travel-friendly, and won't spill.

Yes. We never test on animals (only on willing friends and family), and all of our ingredients are vegan.

We craft our products with natural oils, butters, herbs, clays, and botanicals, including natural nuts, seeds, and fruit. If you have allergies, please read the product label and the ingredients section before use.

If you're uncertain about a sensitivity, we recommend a patch test first; if irritation occurs, discontinue use. Please consult your physician before using products with essential oils if you are pregnant, nursing, using on a child under 12, or have a medical condition.
