Herbal Skin Synergy
with wild usnea & organic goldenseal
Herbal Skin Synergy was created as a plant-based protective skin cream, one that supports the skin as a living barrier while offering deep herbal care for skin that is challenged, reactive, or out of balance.
This is not a cosmetic lotion. It is a working herbal cream, formulated with a wide range of traditional plant medicines long used by herbalists to cleanse, protect, soothe, and restore compromised skin, especially hands that are exposed to frequent washing, environmental stress, or repeated contact with the world.
Herbal Hero
Wild Usnea (Usnea barbata) & Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis)
Usnea, a medicinal lichen often called old man’s beard, has a long history of traditional use for maintaining skin cleanliness and integrity. Herbalists have valued usnea for generations in topical preparations intended to support the skin’s natural defenses.
Goldenseal root is a powerful traditional botanical, respected for its strong, grounding presence in external herbal formulas. Used with restraint and respect, it has been included historically in skin preparations for troubled, reactive, or imbalanced skin.
Together, these two plants form the protective heart of this cream, offering both surface-level support and deeper herbal action.
Medicinal Plant Matrix
This formula brings together a broad-spectrum constellation of skin-supportive herbs, each chosen for a specific traditional role:
-
Fireweed & Echinacea – Traditionally used to support skin resilience and recovery
-
Calendula & Chamomile – Soothing, calming, and supportive to irritated or sensitive skin
-
Plantain & Chickweed – Classic herbal allies for cooling & healing skin conditions
-
Yarrow – Traditionally used to tone and support skin integrity
-
Aloe Vera & Witch Hazel – Cooling, balancing, and supportive to the skin’s surface
Protective Base & Barrier Support
A nourishing base of sunflower oil, shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and carrot tissue oil helps form a breathable, protective layer on the skin—supporting the skin’s natural barrier without sealing it shut.
This makes Herbal Skin Synergy especially well-suited for:
-
Hands exposed to frequent washing
-
Work environments that stress the skin
-
Skin that feels vulnerable, reactive, or “off”
-
Situations where the skin needs extra support and protection
Aromatic & Traditional Plant Essences
The essential oil blend—peppermint, lavender, tea tree, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus, and myrrh—was chosen for its long-standing use in traditional topical preparations intended to support skin cleanliness, clarity, and comfort.
Used thoughtfully, these oils contribute both functional and aromatic support, reinforcing the purpose of the cream without overpowering the skin.
