Farm-to-Skin: How Your Skincare Purchase Supports Local Farmers

By Cathie Arpino

No farms, no food,® no Hudson Valley Skin Care. It’s a simple truth that drives everything we do. 

At Hudson Valley Skin Care, we believe your skin deserves the best. Our commitment to using high-quality, plant-powered ingredients goes hand in hand with our mission to support the local farms that provide those ingredients. Through our partnership with the American Farmland Trust, we pledge to donate 1% of all web sales to help sustain local farms, making sure that every product you purchase directly supports the community and the land we call home. 

Why Farms Matter to Hudson Valley Skin Care 

Our skincare isn’t just made here—it’s grown here. The Hudson Valley’s agricultural abundance is a huge part of our story, infusing our products with local ingredients like cold-pressed Sunflower Seed Oil, Honey, Organic Oats, and Beeswax. These carefully sourced elements aren’t just skincare ingredients; they’re a testament to our local farmers’ dedication and a reflection of the region's natural beauty. 

Our farm partners bring unmatched expertise, passion, and care to their fields, and we’re proud to honor their work by using ingredients that go directly from their land to your skin. 

What Is American Farmland Trust? 

American Farmland Trust is an organization with a mission to keep family farms on their land, protecting America’s agricultural heritage and promoting sustainable farming practices. By donating 1% of our online sales, we’re helping fund programs that empower farmers with the resources they need to thrive. Together with your support, we’re making sure family farms stay part of the community for generations to come. 

How Your Purchase Makes a Difference 

When you buy from Hudson Valley Skin Care, you’re doing more than finding a great skincare product—you’re supporting a movement. Every time you order, 1% of your purchase goes directly to American Farmland Trust, supporting efforts that help local farms implement sustainable practices, preserve farmland, and empower farmers with knowledge and resources. 

Here’s How You Help: 

  • Sustainable Farming Practices: Your contributions help farms adopt eco-friendly methods, ensuring cleaner soils, healthier crops, and skincare ingredients that are as pure as they are effective. 
  • Farm Preservation: Family farms are the heartbeat of the Hudson Valley, but many are at risk of being lost. Every purchase helps keep these farms vibrant and rooted in our communities.
  • Farmer Education: Our support enables farmers to access tools and training to succeed in a changing market, empowering them to farm sustainably and profitably. 

The Connection Between Farm and Skin 

Our “farm-to-skin” philosophy reflects our dedication to the land, and each product is infused with carefully chosen ingredients from local farms. Sunflower Seed Oil brings its nourishing vitamins, Honey and Oats add soothing properties, and Beeswax creates a natural moisture barrier—all to protect and hydrate your skin. 

Locally sourced ingredients mean more than just fresher skincare; they mean a deeper connection to your products and the community. We’re proud to bring the agricultural diversity of the Hudson Valley directly to your skincare routine. 

Why Local Ingredients Matter 

Using locally sourced ingredients isn’t just about high quality—it’s about sustainability, potency, and community. Ingredients like Organic Oats, Honey, and Cold-pressed Oils from nearby farms have shorter travel times and a smaller carbon footprint, allowing them to retain more of their natural benefits. This means every product you use is filled with freshness and potency while supporting a sustainable supply chain. 

With every purchase, you help us lower our environmental impact and strengthen our connection to our region’s agricultural roots.
