Discover the Heart of the Hudson Valley in Every Product

Whether you grew up here or are just passing through, upstate New York's Hudson Valley has a way of leaving its mark on you. This magical valley is unforgettable with its breathtaking hiking trails, waterfalls, and vibrant farmer's markets.

The Hudson Valley is home to hundreds of talented artisans, farmers, and creators who infuse our community with artistry and agriculture. At Hudson Valley Skin Care, sourcing our ingredients locally is one way to capture the essence of this region. As a local business, we eat local, shop local, and create locally-inspired products that reflect the best of the Hudson Valley.

Meet Our Star Ingredients — Sourced Locally with Love

We're proud to share our favorite locally sourced ingredients, each with a unique story, origin, and skin-nurturing benefit.

Oats from Gianforte Farm – Cazenovia, NY

Oats are a true hero in skincare, and we include them in nearly all of our products. Sourced from upstate NY, our organic oats are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe and protect your skin. They're ideal for sensitive and dry skin and conditions like eczema, thanks to their ability to retain moisture and calm irritation. These oats bring gentle, nourishing support to your skin with each use.

Sunflower Seed Oil from HV Cold-Pressed Oils – Pleasant Valley, NY

Cold-pressed sunflower seed oil contains vitamins A, C, and D and essential fatty acids. These nutrients work together to hydrate, protect, and revitalize your skin. Sunflower oil's high Vitamin E content is especially powerful for locking in moisture and keeping skin supple and youthful. We love this ingredient for its versatility and skin-softening effects.

Beer from Hudson Brewing – Hudson, NY

Surprisingly, beer is a superstar ingredient in our beer soap, thanks to hops! Hops are packed with amino acids that moisturize and soften skin, while the polyphenols in beer help reduce redness and calm irritation. Rich in Vitamin B, beer nourishes and strengthens the skin's natural barrier, making it a refreshing addition to your skincare routine.

Honey from Hummingbird Ranch – Salt Point, NY

Honey is a favorite of our products due to its natural antibacterial and humectant properties. From Hummingbird Ranch, this honey helps fight acne and oily skin and attracts moisture to maintain a healthy skin barrier. No wonder honey is often called "liquid gold" in skincare—its ability to soothe and hydrate makes it perfect for any skin type.

Coffee from Irving Farm – Millerton, NY

For a morning pick-me-up or a refreshing exfoliation, our coffee grounds come straight from Irving Farm. Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead skin cells, promoting circulation and a radiant glow. Plus, caffeine is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce puffiness, boost collagen, and protect your skin from premature aging. We use coffee in our Coffee and Cream Bar Soap, delivering a cleanse and an invigorating scrub in one.

Support Local Makers and Discover Hudson Valley's Best

We're always looking for more local makers to add to our list of cherished suppliers. Supporting these farms and artisans strengthens our community and sustains the land that makes the Hudson Valley special. If you're ever in the area, don't miss the sunflower fields at Hudson Valley Cold-Pressed Oils when they bloom—they're a true local treasure.
