DIY Hand Cleanser
Updated on September 26, 2024

We love this time of year – the golden slant of late summer sunlight, final flushes of stone fruits and wild blackberries, and the quieting of garden blooms as plant energy recedes into their roots. These are the signs of a changing season. As we witness nature’s changes, we change too. With fall approaching, we turn to our herbal allies to stay healthy through these transitions.

How do we keep our bodies strong? By using plant power of course. Instead of using chemical-infused products that are harsh on the skin and composed of a laundry list of synthetic agents, we turn to plants that naturally cleanse and can add a little aromatherapy into our lives. We are always on the lookout for new plant-based solutions to help support wellness, so our herbalists created this DIY hand cleanser to help you stay well this fall. With the anti-microbial power of tea tree and the soothing scent of lavender, this gel smells heavenly and helps protect you against fall’s less welcome visitors.
