As the hills blush green and the wild roses begin their bloom, we find ourselves once again in that gentle space between spring and summer. It is a time of transition, of slow awakenings and quiet abundance. The perfect season to pause, to listen to the land, and to return to simple rituals of care. We’re thrilled to introduce our newest offering: a handcrafted face cleanser made from wild yarrow, rose petals, homegrown calendula, fractionated coconut oil, and meadowfoam oil. But before we tell you all about it, we want to share a little more about the land and the plants that make it possible.
Foraging with Reverence: Yarrow & Wild Rose
In the foothills where The Wild Stuff is rooted, yarrow grows in quiet defiance—its feathery leaves and white umbels offering resilience and healing. We forage this plant sparingly and mindfully, always leaving more
than we take, and always asking first. Yarrow has long been used to soothe skin, reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair.
Alongside it, the Alberta wild rose—the provincial flower—scatters soft pink petals across the landscape. These are gathered just as they begin to fall, never plucked too early, and always with deep gratitude. Rose petals offer toning, hydrating, and calming benefits for the skin, while also bringing a soft, subtle scent to the oil.
Growing Calendula: Sunshine in a Petal
Calendula is a joy to grow—bright orange and golden blooms that follow the sun, bringing warmth into every garden they touch. In our own garden plots, we grow calendula organically and harvest the blooms just after they open, when their resin-rich centers are full of healing properties. Calendula is deeply anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and helps support skin renewal, making it an ideal ingredient for a gentle nourishing cleanser.
The Ritual of Oil Cleansing
Oil cleansing may feel counterintuitive at first, but it’s an ancient and time-tested way to balance the skin.
By using high-quality plant oils, we dissolve excess sebum and impurities without stripping the skin of its
natural barrier. It’s not just cleansing—it’s nourishment, it's ritual. Our blend begins with fractionated coconut oil—a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that deeply cleanses while leaving skin soft and hydrated. Meadowfoam oil adds richness and stability, while amplifying the benefits of the infused herbs.
Together, they create a cleanser that doesn’t just clean, but tends.
Rainskin: An Oil Cleanser Rooted in Ritual
As the seasons shift and the earth bursts with growth, we’re thrilled to introduce our newest offering: Rainskin Oil Cleanser.
Infused with the healing essence of ethically wildcrafted yarrow and rose, along
with homegrown calendula, this gentle yet effective cleanser is designed to harmonize with your skin and spirit. Crafted in small batches with reverence for the land, Rainskin is a celebration of nature’s quiet power. With a nourishing base of fractionated coconut and meadowfoam oils, this cleanser melts away impurities while restoring your skin’s natural glow. Use it as part of your daily ritual to ground yourself, honor the season,
and return to the rhythms of the wild.
Find your radiance in the rain, and let your skin drink in the bloom.
