Creams & toners do best when used within 6 months after opening. Face masks, cleansers, serums, & balms are good for about 12 months after opening.

Otherwise, all products have a best by date on the bottom of their jar or bottle. So, date to use the product up by is the date on that sticker, or 6-12 months from first use - whichever comes first! Usually, you have a solid year from purchase to use your product according to the best by date.

Great question. The main difference is that our creams are water-containing, or "hydrous," and our serums & balms are "anhydrous," or do not contain water. 

Creams consist of water and oil emulsified together and therefore require a preservative and an emulsifier (both natural and ECOCERT approved). They are rich and hydrating and are the superior choice for dry, thirsty skin given their water content. 

We craft our face creams with rich hydrosols, which are distilled from organic botanicals for their aromatic compounds and water-soluble plant components.

Balms & serums are great for targeting skin issues, delivering nutrients to the skin, locking in moisture, and can accompany a cream to make a complete moisturizing regimen.

You know what? No, a toner is an optional step. A cleanser & moisturizer are our two-must-haves. A toner or facial mist can be a nice extra if you’d like lightweight hydration, a refreshing boost, or botanicals chosen for your skin’s needs. 

Use it after cleansing and before serum or moisturizer.

Our holy grail for the face is our Golden Glow Facial Serum. 

Coming in a close second would be our Magic Mushroom Moisture Cream, followed by our Herbal Enzyme Cream Cleanser and Hydrating Rose Facial Mist.

We're believers in less is more, so if you had to pick just 1-2 things, we recommend a solid moisturizer and a cleanser. Have fun with it!
