From Plant to Pot
See how Gwen’s Garden creates small-batch herbal salves, balms and oils using slow plant infusions and carefully selected cosmetic ingredients.
Traditional plant knowledge, careful formulation
Gwen’s Garden products begin with carefully selected dried herbs and cosmetic oils. The process is intentionally unhurried, allowing the plant material and oils time to come together before each batch is pressed, strained and finished.
The Process Steps
Select
Dried herbs, base oils and supporting ingredients are selected for the intended texture and cosmetic formulation.
Infuse
The herbs are gently warmed in oil for approximately 12 to 18 hours as part of Gwen's Garden's slow-infusion process.
Press and blend
The infused oil is pressed and strained before beeswax or other approved formulation ingredients are blended in where needed.
Pour and finish
Each small batch is poured, allowed to settle, labelled and recorded for traceability before it is prepared for sale.
Ingredient transparency
We list the complete ingredients, size, directions and any relevant cautions on every product page. You shouldn’t have to go hunting through unrelated pages to understand exactly what you’re buying — it’s all there, in one place, before you add anything to your basket.
Packaging
Our tins and bottles are chosen to be recyclable wherever we can manage it, and we keep packaging simple rather than adding anything unnecessary. What you see in the product photos is what arrives at your door.
