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.
