About Alchemilla

Alchemilla (\al-ke-mil-lah\) is a family owned, Oregon-based company that evolved from a genuine love of plants and a passion for exploring the ways in which they can nourish and support human life.

Since 2006 we have created every product by hand in small batches. Our mission is to produce high quality, effective natural skin care products based on healing plant constituents and nourishing ingredients that provide the skin with what it needs to be in optimal balance. Our focus is always on quality rather than quantity.

We care about our ingredients being of the highest potency, with strict standards of quality control. We source most of our raw materials from reputable local suppliers and grow many of the organic botanicals in our own medicinal herb garden.

We are committed to using only pure essential oils to fragrance our products; never resorting to synthetic aromas such as 'nature identical' or common synthetic perfumes (even when the formula calls for Jasmine, Rose, or any of nature's most precious flowers.)

With hundreds of beauty products being released each year that are simply chemical junk-food for the skin, we believe that an important step toward healthier people and a healthier planet is to offer highly effective natural skin care products that do what they say they will do, at affordable prices.

We believe that all life is deeply interconnected and actively support causes that promote species preservation, a cleaner planet and creating a world that works for everyone.

Our name, "Alchemilla" (commonly known as "Lady's Mantle" or "Little Magic One") comes from a small herb whose botanical name is derived from alkemelych, an Arabic word for alchemy. Medieval alchemists believed Lady's Mantle was a source of powerful magic, and each morning they collected the sparkling dewdrops poised atop its upturned leaves to use in magic potions!

Since our beginning, we have collected numerous unsolicited testimonials affirming the integrity and effectiveness of our products. This is truly gratifying and we will continue to listen and evolve with our customers' needs.
