I was inspired to create simple balms using organic and natural ingredients. As I delved deeper into this passion, I began infusing the oils with foraged flowers, plants and bud resin. I was captivated by the scent and medicinal properties of cottonwood buds. Our first product, Balm Essentials contains the infused resin of these cottonwood buds foraged from local Pacific Northwest forests.

The next challenge was packaging. How to share these products without creating more waste? While no method is perfect, our packaging is consciously chosen to be circular, recyclable or compostable. Even our labels are made of cellulose and are home-compostable!

While our products are evolving, they will always stay true to our values. I hope the products here at The Wild Gem help you feel closer to the Earth and to your natural self. I hope The Wild Gem makes it easier to make mindful, Earth-conscious choices while living in this modern world.
