The Wild Alchemy Beauty Collection
Handcrafted beauty rituals infused with wildcrafted plants, hand-distilled hydrosols, and the rarest botanicals on earth
This is not a permanent collection. Each batch is made in small quantities based on what I can wildcraft, distill, and infuse throughout the season. When these sell out, they're gone until I can gather and create the next batch—which depends entirely on weather, bloom cycles, and the generosity of the land.
Wild-Gathered
Every batch contains plants I personally gathered from coastal bluffs, mountain meadows, and high desert landscapes—roses, yarrow, sagebrush, pine, calendula, and more.
Hand-Distilled
The hydrosols in these mists took 3-4 hours each to distill in my copper still, one plant at a time. This is artisan alchemy you cannot find elsewhere.
Flower Essences
I made each flower essence by hand using traditional sun methods with wild mountain and desert blooms. These carry the vibrational frequency of the plants.
Rare Ingredients
White orchid extract, blue lotus, Amazonian lily, green caviar, rose otto (10,000 petals per ml), neroli, helichrysum—because I'm a maximalist and willing to invest in the precious and rare.
Just Some of the Rare & Wild Botanicals Inside
One Set = A Full Year of Beauty
The Complete Ritual Set (or individual products) typically lasts 10-14 months with daily use. You're not just buying skincare—you're investing in a year's worth of plant medicine, handcrafted devotion, and daily ritual.
This is the kind of quality that makes you forget about browsing for replacements every month. You buy it once, use it mindfully, and it carries you through seasons.
Why this collection is truly limited: I can only make what the land provides. Wild rose blooms last weeks, not months. Desert sagebrush must be gathered at peak potency. Each distillation takes half a day. Every solar infusion needs six weeks of sun. And ingredients like rose otto and white orchid extract? I source them in tiny quantities because they're among the most expensive botanicals in the world.
When this batch sells out, the next one depends on next season's harvest. Secure yours now—this is genuinely small-batch, genuinely seasonal, genuinely unreplicatable.

Why This Set
This trio creates a complete cycle of care, adapting to your skin's needs throughout the day and across seasons. Use the oil alone in summer, layer oil and balm in winter. Mist whenever you need to return to yourself.
Each product amplifies the others: the mist prepares skin to receive the oil's nutrients, the oil seals in the mist's hydrosol medicine, and the balm provides deep overnight nourishment. Together, they create a ritual that serves both skin and spirit.

Cleanse
Mist liberally (Alpine Glow for radiance, Desert Sage for clarity)

Choose Your Mist
Alpine Glow Radiance Elixir - For all skin types seeking luminosity and hydration. Contains hand-distilled lavender, ponderosa pine, mugwort, and marigold hydrosols with rare white orchid, blue lotus, and hand-made mountain wildflower essences. Choose this if you're drawn to: high-altitude clarity, forest medicine, sacred Egyptian beauty rituals, dream work, transformation.
Desert Sage Clarity Mist - For oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin seeking balance and purification. Contains hand-distilled white sagebrush, big sagebrush, tea tree, lavender, wormwood, mugwort, and rabbitbrush hydrosols with handmade desert wildflower essences. Choose this if you're drawn to: ceremonial clearing, desert wisdom, fresh starts, letting go, clarifying mind and skin.
Can't decide? Order the set with one mist, then add the other mist separately to have both for different moods and seasons. I like Desert Sage in the morning, and Alpine Glow in the evening.
What Makes This Set Special
Every element is handcrafted: wild roses gathered from beaches and mountains and infused in nourishing organic oils. Hydrosols distilled plant by plant in small batches (3-4 hours per distillation). Flower essences made by the traditional sun method from wild mountain and desert blooms. Rare ingredients like white orchid extract, blue lotus, Amazonian lily, green caviar (it’s a seaweed!), blueberry seed oil. Precious essential oils like rose otto, neroli, helichrysum, frankincense, and blue tansy.
This is a devotional beauty practice. A daily return to partnership with nature and the wisdom of plants that grow in wild places.
This set combines months of wildcrafting, distilling, infusing, and formulating. It represents the complete Wild Alchemy vision of spiritual rewilding through botanical alchemy.
