Why Plant-Based Skin Care?

Plants offer us a pure, simple, natural and effective alternative to a mainstream cosmetics industry that is floating on an ocean of cheap, artificial, and often toxic, ingredients.

The botanical world is rich in natural antioxidants, vitamins, emollients, bioflavonoids and polyphenols, providing us with the perfect material to develop truly effective complexes that possess powerful benefits for our skin.

Many botanicals possess exquisite aromatic molecules that have potent effects on our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

In addition, flowers are said to possess various metaphysical healing qualities that can have a positive effect on our psychology.

With their incredible biochemical intelligence, plants speak directly to the human organism.

Hundreds of perfectly balanced, minutely proportioned constituents (many bio-identical to those found in the human body) give plants an amazing ability to reach down to the cause and work gradually and safely to re-balance our chemistry, augmenting the body's natural state of harmony - something no artificial skin care ingredient can ever do!

Why Organic?

To Alchemilla, organic ingredients in our skin care products means that we are doing our part to heal the earth while promoting a cleaner, safer, less toxic living environment for all beings.

Rather than an approach of "kill everything we don't want" (and effectively kill everything we do want in the process), our growers use holistic techniques that promote balance and vitality in the soil and encourage beneficial insects to stay, work and multiply.

In addition to the physically tangible aspects of growing plants, we also consider the unseen forces that impact a plant's robustness. Many growers plant, harvest and process our raw materials in accordance with astrological charts and use natural and holistic remedies to address imbalances and improve soil vitality.

With organic growing there is no toxic chemical run-off from our property, which would otherwise poison waterways and reinforce an imbalanced eco-system. As a result, we are able to avoid producing skin care products that contain poisonous chemical pesticide residues while we help to heal the earth.

In many years of our own horticultural experience, we have found that chemical-free, naturally fertile, well-balanced soil is the only tried and true sustainable means of producing superior plants express superior aroma and vitality.

We have also found that these plants yield extracts that are cleaner, more complete and ultimately more potent than any conventionally grown plant material.
