JUST LIKE NATURE MADE IT
Powerful yet fragile Mother Nature offers us an abundant source of healing, we are connected to her patterns, and vibration. Plants and herbs are raw materials that are best enjoyed unadulterated, and with their full integrity still intact.
Formulations created in Alchemy’s atelier include only ingredients that remain as nature made them. These components are blended meticulously, with respect to the raw nature of the material, as well as their compatibility in the formulation itself, resulting in a pure, uncomplicated and highly effective product.
THE ARTISANAL PROCESS
Every creation follows a fine-tuned process and narrative, from the harvest and selection of the herbs, through development, to method of manufacture. It is reliant upon nature and people, those working with our hands, environment and community.
The stages of the artisanal process is shaped by the human hand, and avoids the use of large industry, factory manufacture or synthetic chemicals.
Production in utra-fresh, micro-batches produces an unrivaled quality. An artisan process up to the very last steps, where every bottle is hand polished, labelled and packaged with care and love.
THE INSPIRATION TREE
Alchemy is the science of life, of elements and of nature. The roots of Alchemy Skin & Soul come from the earth, from the pure energy of nature and her tremendous healing powers.
The inspiration is gathered from ancient wisdom, herbal remedies, and local knowledge from our human heritage of healers from all over the planet, such as Ayurveda (meaning science of life). By tapping into this wealth of healing power we all have at our fingertips and employing techniques to make the most of the fresh, most nutrient botanicals we are gifted with the greatest healing properties for our own well-being.
As natural healing is innate in all of us, it is also common sense. We treasure these gifts of wisdom passed down to us from our elders.
