Reconnect with your skin using a living plant and a rich, botanical butter.

This ritual combines the cooling, hydrating power of fresh aloe vera with the barrier-supporting, deeply nourishing qualities of one of our Botanical Body Butters. It’s ideal as a calming evening ritual, a post-sun skin treat, or a grounding way to begin your day.

What You'll Need:

• A freshly cut piece of aloe vera leaf (from your own plant or a clean, store-bought one)
• A clean, dry face
• A Botanical Body Butter

The Ritual:

1 - Cleanse & Prepare

Gently cleanse your skin and pat dry. Take a moment to breathe. Feel your feet on the floor and your connection to the earth.

2 - Apply Fresh Aloe

Cut open the aloe leaf and glide the gel side directly over your skin. Let the juice sink in as you gently pat the skin with your fingertips. Aloe is cherished for its naturally soothing, hydrating properties and has been used in skin rituals across cultures for centuries.

3 - Seal with Botanical Butter

Once the aloe has mostly absorbed (you can leave a slight dampness), take a tiny (fingertip-sized) amount of a Botanical Body Butter and slowly massage your face in loving strokes: cheeks, forehead, chin, neck. This rich, waterless balm locks in moisture while delivering the botanical benefits softening butters and uplifting plant essences.

Why This Works:

Fresh aloe offers lightweight hydration and supports skin's natural balance. By layering a nourishing, oil-based butter over top, you help seal in that hydration and support your skin’s barrier with antioxidant-rich oils, plant butters, and Bakuchiol (if using Wild Sol), a botanical ingredient known for its gentle, skin-refining properties.

This ritual brings together the living vitality of plants with the elegant potency of herbal skincare through an everyday act of beauty that honors the wild and the wise.
