How are we different?

We formulate anhydrous, nutrient-dense & slightly acidic, close to skin's natural pH of 5.5.  This supports skin's immune system, keeps your microbiota bacteria in check & prevents inflammation triggers like acne, eczema or rosacea.

Formulations with plant nutrition and no water.

our Forest Formulary-Raising the BAr

In 2001, we started researching herbs, roots & wild ingredients that we could sustainably source from our forest. We wanted to create phytonutrient cleansers, scrubs and salves that would really make a difference in the health of our skin but withOUT the water dilution and its associated endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic preservation methods (banned in other countries-but still used here)!  So, we built our own Brand!

LOVE Language

Watergirl

In the mornings, after the dew has dried, we pick wild ingredients that your skin craves!  Then we formulate those herbs into a product with a low pH that helps skin seal in moisture and keeps skin firm, bright & glowy!  That trademark Tomboy GLOW is our LOVE LANGUAGE! We have been seeing it in ourselves & our customers for over 20 years now!!!  Take a look.
