An ode to balm and bitterness, warmth and wisdom. Skinwear from below the surface.
Soothing Herbal Blend
Green thoughts — Clean skin. Stillness rises to the surface. A herbal light, brewed from bitterness. A healing warmth steeped in root memory. Skin softened. Spirit steadied. Rub into temples, or anywhere that aches. It soothes grief in the body, calms restless limbs. Nature’s dark medicine—grounding, bitter, holy. Rub it in. Rise like balm.
Fire Root Oil
Ginger, cayenne, turmeric — A warming prayer in liquid form. roots that speak in heat and burn in love. Rub along joints, bellies, and cold hands. It stirs the blood, awakens the edges.A protector’s touch. A circulatory hymn. Made for winter bodies, grieving bodies, bodies learning to feel again.
Bitter Ground Balm
Dark and deep. A salve born from neem, myrrh, and dandelion root — It doesn’t soothe to please. It heals to reveal. For blemishes, flare-ups, and invisible tension. Smells like shadow. Works like prayer. A remedy for skin in conversation with the past.
Earth Sleep Elixir
Valerian, mugwort, lavender, and vetiver — Heavy herbs for floating minds. Massage into the feet, back of the neck, and the chest before rest. It hums you to sleep, not with sweetness but surrender. Earth speaks in dreams. Let this be the night’s root.
Clarity Resin Blend
Frankincense, pine, and black seed — A sacred ointment for the face, chest, and crown. Purifying. Clarifying. Calling breath back to the body. It clears fog—mental and emotional— and replaces it with resin-thick peace. Skin becomes temple. Breath becomes incense.
