Collection: Organic Skin Care Handmade Since 1985 On Maine's First Biodynamic Farm
The Avena Collection is perhaps the purest skin and body care blends American soil has to offer.
They're based on botanicals regeneratively grown & wild-harvested on Maine's first certified Biodynamic farm.
From seed to harvest to infusion to jar, everything is done by hand.
In the Spring, our farmer-partner plants her seeds following biodynamic, regenerative and mixed polyculture principles (which go way beyond "organic").
She keeps the plants tightly spaced, applying minimal (organic) fertilizer and irrigation. This makes it harder and slower for the plants to grow. And that's the point. They become more potent, which you nose & skin will verify as soon as you open your jar, inhale the glory, and apply.
The humming birds, butterflies and bees love all the flora as well.
Throughout the growing season, she hand-harvests only the best parts of the plants and only at peak potency. Then she immediately infuses them at low temperatures into organic oils to preserve their botanical benefits.
Finally, the infusions are blended and packed on-site, ready to deliver the most potent & pure skin care American soil can offer.
The first time you open & apply your product -- when you see & smell how whole-plant blends were meant to be -- is always a special moment.
And as you put it on, you'll feel that difference, too.
Enjoy!
