Alpenglow Skin Care
Share
100% natural, handmade in Alaska skin & hair care products using locally wildcrafted and organically grown ingredients.
100% natural, using locally wildcrafted Alaskan botanicals and organically grown herbs and flowers, Alpenglow Skin & Hair Care is incredibly beneficial and made with mostly organic ingredients.
I’ve been asked to share my Alpenglow face care routine. In the morning, I use the sudsing product for a deep clean. Any of our Goat Milk soaps, Shea butter, soaps, and or Face/Hand/Body washes are going to provide a gentle lather, deep clean, but not strip the skin. Excellent for even the most sensitive skin that rashes or breaks out. Follow with your favorite scent of our Face Cream. My two faves are midnight sun and lavender yLang yLang. I love lavender for both it scent and medicinal properties. All of the essential oils in the various face creams are chosen, not only for scent but because they have beneficial properties for facial skin. So pick the scent you were attracted to most and that will work best for your skin. In the evening, I use a Facial Cleanser with a cotton pad to cleanse my face and neck. My favorite is lavender fields, which is formulated for sensitive skin or acne. The Mountain Meadow is for oily or combination complexionscomplexion. You don’t rinse either of these as they are toners as well. The Rosewater spring facial cleanser is best for very dry or mature complexions, as well as the most sensitive skin. This facial cleanser, you rinse. The facial cleansers are packed with active ingredients that benefit aging skin as well as problem skin. Because my complexion is well balanced, and healthy after years of using only Alpenglow products, I happily use all of the facial cleansers, bar soaps, face, hand, and body washes, and face creams. During the winter when it’s dry, I definitely use the face cream morning and evening. Even though it’s thick, it completely absorbs and does not clog pores. The face cream is our top selling product and if you haven’t used it yet, you’ll see why once you try it. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plumps the skin, leaving it radiant without anything synthetic.

We don’t contract manufacture – I have formulated every single Alpenglow product from scratch, all designed to be packed with beneficial organic ingredients and phytonutrients for extremely sensitive skin. Alpenglow products are excellent for clearing up skin issues and for mature skin.
Please let me know what Alpenglow face products you love or if you have any questions – I’m here for you.

We LOVE Poppy Lane in Palmer. It's a great store and they love supporting and selling Alpenglow to their mat su vally customers. THANK YOU.
Plant medicine. Smell them, eat them, watch them blow in the breeze. Acknowledge the colors and textures and shadows that plants provide. From the tiniest bit of moss, to the grandest tree. Through all the seasons. It is through plants that I feel a great connection to nature. How I love growing, harvesting, eating, extracting phytonutrients.... good for your gut, your health, your skin, your soul. Alpenglow products are the best, in part because of the plants we use that we grow and wildcraft. Lucky me.
Everyday is filled with color, texture, scent and light… harvesting from our garden and wildcrafting. Our organic calendula provides active healing properties for our Cottonwood Balm and Cottonwood Massage Oil. I feel so grateful that my job entails this beauty, as well as the many hour of computer time.
August and September provide so much in Alaska.

A taste of summer harvesting 🌿🌸
It’s been a beautiful summer here in Homer/Anchor Point, although a slow start to the season means some of our harvesting is a little behind schedule.
One of the things we love most about making Alpenglow 100% natural products is working with plants. We grow a wide variety of flowers and herbs organically in our high tunnel and gardens, starting them from seed indoors in March and moving them outside at the end of May. Throughout the summer, we carefully tend to our plants and harvest them at their peak, when their beneficial plant compounds are at their best. We then dry or freeze our harvest to preserve that goodness.
We also wildcraft—sustainably harvesting plants from the Alaskan wilderness, including wild Alaskan roses, yarrow, horsetail, cottonwood, nettles, and more. 🌿
The plants we choose aren’t random. Each one is selected for the unique phytonutrients and beneficial properties it contributes to a particular product. This concentrated, readily absorbable plant nutrition is a big part of what makes Alpenglow products so special.
Our organic products are made entirely by hand, from scratch—from seeds and garden to wilderness and finished product.
What could be better? 💚

We frequently get asked by our out-of-state customers what’s it like to live here. Life is what you make of it and I wanted to share some photos from this summer and the outdoor adventures Patrick and I go on with our family and friends. There is so much to take care of around our place with the business, our high tunnel and gardens on 4.5 acres. We could easily spend every weekend at home taking care of our land and house. But we make sure to take off on 3 day weekends 3 out of 4 weekends per month during our short summer season. We love biking, hiking, camping, kayaking, pack rafting, staying in back country public use cabins and just enjoying each others company (and our dog Truffle) in this incredible place we are lucky enough to call home. I love my business. And I love recreation as well. Balance is so important (and difficult to maintain) a business owner. Ask me what it’s like to live here in January and well, let’s just say June, July and August are my favorite months. 💕

What a cold wet spring it’s been. Planting the garden sooo late and feeling like it’s risky considering we keep dropping into the 30s F at night. But my starts have been getting root bound and I’ve been antsy to get my hands in the dirt. 72 calendula starts planted, peonies kinda barely popping up, big flat of mint separated and planted, rhubarb always does fine. Flower bed gets attention next week.
Patrick, Cassie and I planted the high tunnel earlier this week. Didn’t take any pictures. But the 42 lavender starts looks great. I started all my seeds mid-March, inside our house under grow lights. I moved them to the greenhouse to acclimate around May 10. We still had snow a few times since then.
Boy I love working with plants. Veggies, flowers, fruits, herbs. We really take care of our soil (look how dark and rich).
The midnight sun = fast growing plants once it warms up a wee. And lookie at brand new moose calf in our driveway.
