100% Natural Beauty. Small Batch Skin Care. Apothecary
•• Story ••
Winsome & Green natural beauty was born from the deep appreciation I have for nature and my belief that the earth has provided us with all the answers if we care to look. I have always been inexplicably drawn to botanicals and kept a wild plant garden even as a child. The living green things called to me and I planted poison ivy along with my Solomon's seal, bloodroot and mayapple. I didn't know then that the plants were seeking me even as I was seeking them. These days I work with herbs and botanicals to create skin care and bath luxuries. This work is rewarding to my soul and nothing makes me happier than hearing someone say they loved how my things made them feel.
•• Products ••
Winsome & Green ingredients are of the best available eco-friendly and organic, ethically wild-harvested plants to be found. I never use artificial color or fragrance, thus products may be colored with alkanet root, matcha green tea, clay and / or other plants, roots and naturals. My products are scented only with pure and clean plant essential oils - some of which are very precious.

☽Lunar phases. My ancestors felt the powerful pull of the moon on their bodies and spirits and kept the moon as a calendar for all tasks. My great grandmother knew under which moon to cut your hair, which phase to begin new projects and which moons were favorable for planting in the garden. For me, the phases of the moon are a testament to the cyclical nature of organic life. There is something comforting and grounding in contemplating the seed budding in the spring, growing full in the summer, giving abundance in the fall and dying in the winter, only to rise again in the spring.

We're blessed to have the writings of the great herbalists available to us through books and the internet. You should always know something about the ingredients in your personal care products so get a good book on herbs and essential oils or search ingredients online before you buy.
•• Gratitude ••
And finally, I have to say how grateful I am for Etsy and the community here for what it has provided me. My small, sleepy old coal town is populated with wonderful people but the opportunities are scarce. Because of Etsy, I do work that I love which helps me contribute to the well-being of my family and I get to be home with my kids and husband instead of working nights somewhere. Thank you Etsy and thank you Etsy friends, you changed my world forever. And thanks to you, too for taking the time to get to know me by reading my story. :)
