Cleaning up my act and passing the benefits to you
About 20 years ago, I woke up to the fact that many products I had been using for bath and beauty were not clean. I was ignorant to the fact that in applying them to the largest organ in my body (my skin), that I could be doing harm by the chemicals in them accumulating over time.
Since I learned about the effects, I have spent the last 20 years making sure that what I put on and in my body is extremely limited in terms of chemicals. Thankfully, the consumer market has changed substantially and clean bath and beauty products are much more plentiful and I can support amazing businesses like Anne’s Apothecary https://annesapothecary.com/ , Toups and Co. https://toupsandco.com/ and many local bar soap producers, among just a few.
When I set out to create a product line for Restorie Herbals, my passion for clean products is woven throughout everything I make. The other day, I was having a discussion with my husband about quality products since he is a master leather craftsman and has been running a successful business on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RustyKnuckles for years. He has been seeing a ton of new vendors creeping into that market that are selling sub-par products for deep discounts. We discuss often the throw-away nature of many hard goods like belts and purses, so he has carved a different path of quality and durability. I am also seeking to do the same. While I make a consumable product versus a hard good like him, the principle of quality still holds true for me.
The vendors that I have used in making our top selling Magnesium Sleep Balm are on the main page of Restorie Herbals. I did that for a reason. We aren’t using bulk chemical laden ingredients. That may be ok for other producers, but it’s not for me. I am setting an incredibly high bar for Restorie Herbals and will continue to seek out quality herbs from organic small batch producers on Etsy and larger producers like Mountain Rose Herbs because I want everyone to feel confident in applying our products because they don’t contain harmful chemicals.
I know our customers have a choice when they purchase products and I make a commitment to you all that we’ll continue to source and use the highest quality ingredients possible. With that comes a higher price than you may find elsewhere. I hope that you will find it important to support companies that are using high quality healthy ingredients so you can enjoy a long life free of the consequences that come from the opposing lifestyle.

Ok, off my soapbox and onto making a batch of teas for the upcoming market this weekend!
Sweet dreams, ya’ll
