A perfect pyramid of Moonlight Calming Bath Salts ready for labelling 🌝 Autumn is coming and it shows in the orders - a lot of you are starting to get your favorite bath salts for those chilly night soaks 🌝 Honestly, we can’t wait for Fall ✨

We recently stayed at a CCC-era forest service cabin and did a little impromptu photo shoot. Here’s a couple from the first edit, plus the cabin 🌿

Mixing and filling a big batch of Moonlight Bath Salts for Tender Loving Empire today 🌝 Moonlight is my personal favorite bath salt combining mineral-rich pink Himalayan salt, French pink clay, activated coconut charcoal for super soft skin.

New on the blog: We’ve been using the Tourist — along with a Frances’-made light and nimble Farfarer bike trailer — to deliver your packages from our homestead apothecary, forest garden, and product site to a Post Office in Eugene 🚲 Joshua Muir 🚲

We’ve been making our Wild Man Botanical Cologne for well over a decade and it’s still one of our best sellers 🌿 If you’re tired of synthetic fragrances that are irritating and too strong, check out our line of botanical colognes and perfumes. They’re petroleum-free, totally natural and smell really nice! 🌿

We’re thrilled to now offer our favorite reusable cotton facial rounds from Marley's Monsters in the shop. Made right here in Eugene, OR out of soft cotton flannel, these little guys can be used again and again! Don’t forget to grab a small garment bag for washing and pair these with your choice of our Botanical Toners. Available in earthy rainbow or all black 🌈

I love opening up a new box of lip balm tubes 💛 Here’s the tops of our Honey Bee Botanical Lip Balms - now in printed, sturdy, PFA-free and fully biodegradable paper tubes 💛

🌞 We’re squeezing every drop out of Summer 🌞

That means less days in the shop, more time in the woods and with dear ones. And, as much as we can, less time staring at the damn phone. The subtle shift in light tells us that fall and the busy season are not far off. So, we’re enjoying a little slowness while it’s still here. We hope you can, too 🌞

This yarrow was practically ✨glowing✨ in the evening light. Found this beauty in a high Sierra meadow on our roadtrip, looking absolutely stunning 👀

Yarrow was the first plant I learned to identify in a field not far from where this photo was taken, over 20 years ago. This remains one of my favorite and most-used topical herbs for healing minor skin abrasions, irritations, rashes and wounds 🌿
