"There is a power that has been here since all eternity, and that force and potentiality is green!" -Hildegard von Bingen

All of Plantfolk's botanical creations are crafted in mindfulness and gratitude from the purest ingredients available, using a variety of sustainably, ethically, organically, and locally-sourced herbs oils, waxes, essential oils, clays, botanical extracts, and hydrosols. We grow many of our own organic herbs in our gardens in northern New Mexico, and distill our own plant and floral waters using an artisanal copper still. All botanical remedies are handcrafted in small batches to ensure utmost quality and care goes into each and every product. 

Plantfolk Apothecary is the manifestation of our verdant green love for the plants and our reverence for the tradition of folk herbalism. The products we create are not only crafted in hopes of providing humans with a pure, vibrant source of self-care, but just as importantly our botanical creations are dreamt into being as a way of honoring the plants. When we gift our bodies with beautiful, plant-based creations, we make the whole earth glow brighter. And we glow brighter, too!
