The Power of Our Herbal and Animal-Based Ingredients

At Willow Moon Farm, we believe in a holistic approach to skincare that honors the full circle of nature. Our commitment to creating effective and sustainable skincare products extends beyond just plant-based ingredients. We incorporate both herbal and animal-based ingredients to offer you a range of benefits that are both potent and gentle. Here’s a closer look at what sets our skincare apart:

Herbal Infused Skincare: The Power of Whole Plant Infusions

More Effective: Our herbal infusions are crafted by steeping fresh or dried herbs for over 6 weeks. This extended process allows us to extract a broad spectrum of beneficial compounds from the whole plant, including essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike essential oils, which primarily contain volatile oils, our infusions ensure you receive the full range of plant benefits. This makes our products not only highly effective but also suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Longer Lasting Benefits: Herbal infusions provide a slow and steady release of their benefits. This continuous nourishment makes them ideal for products aimed at protecting and revitalizing the skin. Essential oils, while fast-acting, can evaporate quickly, whereas our infused oils maintain their efficacy throughout the day.

Sustainable Skincare: By growing our herbs on our Certified Naturally Grown Regenerative Farm, we support biodiversity and enhance soil health. Our approach avoids synthetic chemicals and promotes a healthier ecosystem. This method reduces our reliance on conventional farming practices and aligns with our commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Animal-Based Ingredients: Honoring the Full Circle of Nature

Tallow: We collaborate with local farms that pasture-raise their cattle to produce nourishing tallow for our products. This practice supports ethical farming and ensures we use every part of the animal, minimizing waste.

Lard: Our lard comes directly from our own herd of Kunekune pigs, raised with care on our farm. This direct sourcing guarantees quality and supports our commitment to humane and sustainable practices.

Raw Goat's Milk: For our bar soaps, we use pure, raw goat’s milk from our cherished herd of goats. This ingredient enhances the moisturizing properties of our soaps and reflects our dedication to using the best natural ingredients.

Our dedication to crafting high-quality skincare products is reflected in every ingredient we use. From our farm-fresh herbs to our responsibly sourced animal-based ingredients, we prioritize sustainability, effectiveness, and gentleness. By choosing our products, you’re not only taking care of your skin but also supporting ethical and regenerative farming practices.
