The herb library
What each plant is, what it is traditionally used for, and when not to use it.
Comfrey
Symphytum officinale
Latin for "to join." Rich in allantoin. Topical only, never on broken skin — and here is exactly why.
Plantain leaf
Plantago major
The weed in your driveway. Cooling, allantoin-bearing, and the first thing to reach for when skin itches.
St John's wort
Hypericum perforatum
Wild-harvested at flowering. Turns oil blood-red. Raises sun sensitivity — read before you apply.
Calendula
Calendula officinalis
The one warm accent in the whole brand, and the gentlest plant in the range. Good first choice for reactive skin.
Chamomile
Matricaria chamomilla
Calming, well-studied, and one of the few herbs almost everyone tolerates.
Self-heal
Prunella vulgaris
An unassuming lawn plant with a long folk history in skin care.
