April showers bring May flowers. Here we are with colors blossoming everywhere we turn. While for many of us they just bring a smile to our faces there is actually a lot more these botanicals do for you that you may have never known. Botanicals are natures medicine. Nature has provided us with these resources for remedies to heal and nourish our skin for many millennia. From ancient herbal traditions to modern natural skincare, botanicals have been at the heart of it all. Each plant has its own unique properties like easing pain from burns, or fighting dandruff when used properly. At Spriggits, we thoughtfully select nature derived ingredients including botanicals, clays, and nutrient rich foods that enhance both the function and the experience of using our products.
Respect Nature, and It Will Nourish You
We believe that skincare should be a harmonious experience—one where we work with nature, not against it. From production and packaging to shipping it out to you we do our best to utilize the most eco-friendly practices we can. Every flower or herb we incorporate into our products serves a purpose, whether it’s to soothe, nourish, or simply bring joy through its beauty or aroma. These ingredients all serve a purpose. By respecting nature and harnessing its gifts responsibly, we create products that are as effective as they are sustainable.
More Than Just Aesthetics
Sometimes, the magic of botanicals is in their ability to brighten a moment. Much like receiving a bouquet of flowers, the sight of delicate rose petals or sweet calming lavender buds in a skincare product can bring joy and create a luxurious, sensory experience. While some flowers are included purely for their uplifting presence, others contribute powerful skin benefits because your self care time should nourish both the skin and the soul.
Botanical Ingredients We Love & Why We Use Them
Aloe: Nature’s Skin Soother
Aloe deserves a special mention for its ability to hydrate, soothe, and promote healing. Maybe as a kid someone rubbed its leaves on your sunburn to sooth the burn? We incorporate aloe into our soaps (check out the Koala Kleanse Bar) to enhance their skin-loving benefits, making them perfect for washing up after a long day in the summer sun.
Calendula: A Gentle Healer
Calendula is one of our go-to botanicals, prized for its skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. We infuse calendula into our salt soaks to help calm irritated skin and provide a gentle, restorative experience. This is also one of the botanicals that we grow right here at home base.
Chamomile Buds: The Ultimate Calming Agent
Chamomile isn’t just for tea—it’s a powerhouse ingredient in skincare. Known for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, chamomile buds find their way into our bath salt and soak to help relax the skin and reduce redness.
Lavender: The Scent of Serenity
Lavender is renowned for its relaxing aroma, but its benefits go beyond its popular fragrance. It has antimicrobial and soothing properties, making it a wonderful addition to our skincare products. Whether in bath soaks or oils, lavender helps promote a sense of well-being while caring for your skin. Our lavender petals are not something we grow personally but we sustainable hand harvest and dry from a local lavender field in Maine annually.
Working With Nature, Not Against It
Our commitment to using botanicals is rooted in sustainability and respect for the environment. The botanicals that we grow for instance, one of which being calendula, is a food source for the local pollinators. By working with nature’s rhythms—harvesting at peak potency and avoiding harmful processing methods—we ensure that our products deliver maximum benefits without depleting natural resources. Planting these flowers helps the pollinators, the soil, our skin, and honestly my own personal mood because I love to have a reason to go out and garden. When sourcing we seek to partner with suppliers that practice sustainable cultivation methods whenever possible.
Experience the Difference of Botanical Skincare
We don’t just add botanicals for the sake of it—we incorporate them with intention. Whether for their healing properties, sensory delight, or skin-enhancing benefits, each flower, herb, and plant plays a role in creating a skincare experience that is as nourishing as it is beautiful. By respecting nature, we allow it to nourish us in return. Experience the magic of botanical skincare and let nature’s beauty become a part of your self-care ritual.
