BEHIND THE SCENES…

ABOUT TARA: Licensed esthetician (circa 2002), artist, apothecary, writer, American expat in Scotland, forty-something, tree-hugging witch of the woods, acne & fine-line banisher, furniture rehabilitator, food snob, domestic goddess, natural ingredient enthusiast, plant medicine, real food, Make Art Not War, feminine feminist, inspiration seeker, rule bender, fun follower, whimsy for life.

SKINCARE VIBES: Inspiration for everything I make boils down to a few simple things:

• Solutions - what does my skin need to feel its best? Can others benefit from what I’ve created to address these needs?

• Discovering new natural ingredients, their positive benefits in skincare, and how can they be incorporated into the range?

• And last but not least - aging. The desire to keep my face looking like my own face, naturally. As the years go by, I find myself increasingly determined to age as gracefully as possible, while protecting, preserving, even improving my skin. I love helping others do the same.

METHOD: Everything is made with only the highest quality natural and organic ingredients. Each ingredient is chosen for its healing properties and benefits to the skin.

NEVER USED: Genetically modified ingredients (GMO’s), Parabens, Formaldehyde, Sulphates, Carmine, Lake Dyes, Coal Tar, Petroleum, Mineral Oils, or Palm Oil.

100% VEGETARIAN, MOSTLY VEGAN: Nearly everything I make is Vegan. However, because of their highly beneficial qualities, I use organic raw bee pollen in mask powder recipes and natural cosmetic grade beeswax in my balms.

PRESERVATION: If there are any blends susceptible to going off - think anything made with water or flower waters - you’ll find naturally derived preservatives have been included so that survival longer than a week outside the fridge is possible.
