The basic how-to, plus tips and tricks, of all our fine botanics.

Shampoo Bar Instructions & Tips for Best Use

Our shampoo bars are designed to give you a thoroughly therapeutic cleansing experience! Here’s how to use them:

  • Wet hair completely, and gently comb bar through roots and lengths of hair starting at scalp.

  • Continue gently combing through roots and lengths, until dense suds are felt throughout scalp (it’s okay to use a lot.)

  • Using your fingertips, massage amongst roots and comb fingers through lengths to efficiently distribute formula. AVOID piling hair on top of head, as this will cause undue tangling.

  • Rinse thoroughly from scalp to lengths, using fingertips to help disperse formula from hair follicles.

  • Apply your regular conditioner, avoiding roots. Leave on lengths for 5 minutes for additional conditioning benefits (optional.)

  • Rinse completely. We recommend using cold or cool water for follicle strength and added shine.

Did You Know:

  • You can use your shampoo bar on your entire body! Our gentle formula is perfect for those time-crunch moments where clean skin needs to happen fast! You can use your shampoo bar on your face and body, just be sure to follow with moisturizer as usual.

  • Goat Milk Soap has been shown to improve circulation under your scalp, and may help thicken thinning hairlines! More research is needed, but our personal results have been very positive!

  • Our Basic Bar shampoo formula is safe for use on pets! This formula is free from any essential oils, but avoiding eyes and ears is still recommended.

Face Care System Instructions & Tips for Best Use

Silky skin is just a wash away…

Using our face care system is simple, and our products are sure to leave your skin silky soft and touchably smooth in just a few easy steps!

Step One: Cleanse Dirt and Impurities Away with your Selected Face Cleansing Bar

We recommend using cool water only when cleansing your skin to tighten pores and minimize the moisture-zapping properties of using hot water. Microderm brushes, or exfoliating face cloths are excellent ways to distribute the formula while smoothing rough skin. Remember to pat dry gently.

Step Two: Apply Toner

Using toner between cleansing and moisturizing helps remove any impurities left behind, as well as toning and tightening pores and providing a clean hydrosol to skin prior to applying a moisture barrier. We recommend our Absolute Silk Hydrating Lavender & Rosemary Face Toner with witch hazel, available in our online shop. (This is a seasonal product, and online inventory varies, but you can message us directly to request your own batch if it’s not available on our online shop.)

Step Three: Apply Moisturizer While Skin Is Still Dewy.

Once skin is cleansed, it’s imperative to protect and lock in hydration before the air zaps the moisture from our cells. Our exclusive Absolute Silk Face Oil is formulated to absorb cleanly into your skin without conflict. Apply to skin via fingertips while skin is still moist, using only 2-3 drops to start, in gentle circular motion. Follow with our Absolute Silk Face Butter, or foundation (optional.)

Body Butters & Oils- Best Practices

Our ultra-nourishing, clean-absorbing body butters & oils are formulated to keep your skin silky, nourished, and healthy! Our delectable selection also locks in moisture to keep skin hydrated until your next shower! Here are our tips for getting the most out of your bottle:

Apply While Skin is Still Dewy!

While our body oils & butters will nurture skin whenever you use them, we highly recommend using them primarily after cleansing while your skin is still moisture-rich. Our products are formulated using the purest, cold-pressed plant oils and butters that seal moisture beneath skin’s natural hydration barrier, without clogging pores or disrupting skin’s natural pH. When you use them after showering or cleansing your skin, our butters and oils will lock in moisture and protect against the harsh environmental damage our skin endures every day.

Don’t Be Afraid To Use As Much As You Need!

Our body oils and butters contain ZERO preservatives, and we use only the finest essential oil or all-natural fragrance blends. This means you can use our skincare line without worry of adding anything that will compromise the natural health and pH balance of your skin. And because we use hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic plant oils and butters, our products have an exceptional absorbtion rate!

Layer Our Body Butter on Hands & Feet Before Bed for the ULTIMATE Cracked Skin Healing!

If you can, wear socks or gloves while you sleep to improve the cellular absorbtion rate and improve skin’s natural moisture retention barrier. GREAT for treating cracked winter skin! (Hello soft elbows and knees!)

You Can Use Our Oil on Your Hair for a Conditioning Treatment!

That’s right, our nourishing body oils are also great deep-conditioning treatments for split ends and dry/brittle hair! Simply add to lengths and ends of hair before shampooing (avoid your roots!) and let set for 30 minutes. Using a diffuser attachment on a hair dryer set on low takes this treatment to the NEXT LEVEL! Be sure to follow with your shampoo (it’s okay to wash twice if needed,) and finish with your usual conditioner. Rinse with COLD WATER to lock in shine! And be sure to tag us in your inevitable glow-up photos, because you’ll definitely be feeling your hair afterwards!
