From Seed to Skin: Our Ingredient Sourcing Journey

Meet the organic farmers and wildcrafters who supply our precious botanicals, and learn about our ethical sourcing practices.

Every ingredient that enters our mill has a story – one that begins in soil, sunshine, and the careful hands of dedicated growers. Our commitment to ethical sourcing means we know not just what goes into our products, but where it comes from and who grows it.

Partnership with Purpose

We work directly with a network of small organic farms and wildcrafters who share our values of sustainability and quality. These relationships, built over years of trust and mutual respect, ensure that our ingredients are not only pure but ethically sourced.

From the rose gardens of Bulgaria to the calendula fields of Devon, each partnership represents a commitment to supporting traditional farming methods and fair trade practices.

The Harvest Story

Our chamomile comes from a family farm in the Cotswolds, where three generations have perfected the art of growing this delicate flower. The harvest happens at dawn when the flowers are at their most potent, each bloom hand-picked with care.

Our rose petals travel from organic gardens in Morocco, where traditional distillation methods have been passed down through generations. The farmers we work with maintain not just the plants, but the cultural heritage of rose cultivation.

Beyond Organic

While organic certification is our baseline, we look for partners who go beyond compliance to embrace regenerative practices. These methods not only avoid harmful chemicals but actively improve soil health and biodiversity.

This holistic approach ensures that our ingredients carry the full vitality of plants grown in harmony with their environment, delivering maximum benefits to your skin.
