Yana's story
Born of Necessity
In the winter of 2019, herbalist Yana Crow’s skin took a turn for the worst. Dry patches started forming around her eyes and on her face: her eyelids were swollen, raw, and started bleeding, and all her anti-aging products were irritating her skin. No prescription, herbal, or “clinically effective” product could work to soothe her inflamed, suddenly intensely acneic and aging skin.
With options exhausted and Covid lockdown in effect, she turned to herbalism, traditional skincare practices from around the world, and the knowledge from her lifelong obsession with skincare products. Her quest was this: to create one magic formula to address the full spectrum of her skincare distresses and concerns.
beyond clean beauty
The pursuit of purity
To formulate her skincare solutions she followed her herbalist sensibilities and sought out the most Potent, Precious, and Pure, 100% Organic single origin cold-pressed and steam distilled plant oils; sourcing from origins that prioritize environmental sustainability and human welfare.
Choosing organic supports sustainable farming practices while yielding cleaner raw ingredients without any traces of chemical pesticides or herbicides. Cold pressed and steam distilled essential oils are extracted without chemical solvents, ensuring there is no chance of trace chemical residues. The cold pressing methodology preserves the
Vitamins, Minerals, and Rare Compounds of plant oils for maximum potency and a smaller carbon footprint.
skin health simplified
Radiance restored
Using her own skin as the testing ground, she tirelessly formulated and reformulated. As her eye area healed, she discovered that her under eye was glowing, and had never looked smoother. As her redness, acne, and scars faded away, she discovered smaller pores and refined skin texture. Dullness and dehydration were replaced with a plump bounce and healthy radiance.
As these creations took the place of an army of skincare serums she had previously sworn by, The Holy Grail Formula Face Serum and Eye Serum were born. A pair of extra strength multifunctional complexes made entirely of bioactive ingredients that deliver potent plant compounds to regenerate and restore the skin revealing refined and glowing results.
