Hi, I'm Sylvia.
Part scientist, part artist and completely obsessed with making plant-based skincare, cosmetics and herbal remedies.
This is my home.
Funny thing, Sylvia means "of the forest" and the forest is all around me here in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia. It is from the forest that I get my inspiration and many of the plant ingredients.
This is my craft.
Lovingly made, professionally handcrafted plant-based personal care products.
My promise to you.
