pAra

in guardianship of the land

In Sanskrit, pAra holds many meanings. One of them is guardian, and it's the one we endeavor to live by.

Every potion is made here by hand, in small batches in our studio, along with most of the extracts that go into them, steeped and distilled ourselves. Some of the plants we grow and gather from this land, and some come from trusted farms and foragers. We see ourselves as caretakers of this land rather than its owners, and what reaches your skin carries that relationship: rooted to the earth, connected to the seasonal rhythms, alive and vital.

For Vāta Season

Vāta is light, dry and always moving. These are the potions we reach for to ground her.

Rooted in Earth, Guided by Spirit

Made in Rhythm with the Earth

Ayurveda teaches that we're made of the same five elements as the world around us, and that our skin shifts as the seasons turn. We grow some of our herbs on our land and craft each potion by hand in small batches, so you can care for your body in step with the time of year.

How we make our potions

Shamanic Reiki

Every potion is infused with Reiki and the spirits of the land: plants, stones, water, smoke and the phases of the moon. We call it beauty medicine, energy and herb working together, so that each ritual tends your spirit as well as your skin.
