Phytomedicine and Natural Products studies, and Cosmetic Formulation training, enabled the founder, Stacey Jane Smith, to hone in on the healing power of plants and develop innovative, effective products using indigenous botanicals to help improve skin health and wellbeing. Stacey Jane developed her passion for creating wellness and personal care products while pregnant, after discovering harmful ingredients in commercial personal care products.
“What we put on, goes in!”
“Our skin is the largest and most permeable organ in our bodies, with more than 2 million holes across it. That fact alone made me want to be more mindful of what I put on my and my family’s bodies. Nature has blessed us with healing plants to help combat and relieve common ailments – this is evident from remedies passed down from generations, and now proven by scientific studies.” Stacey Jane
