Whether you're traveling cross-country for a festival or hitting your favorite local camping spot, Summer is the time to enjoy sunny days. You don't want to leave your self-care routine at home, so we've made it easy to bring along essential sundries that are lightweight and easy on the earth. Our zero-waste Summer favorites include core products to keep yourself fresh without a speck of plastic.

Glitter Stix are packaged in sturdy, PFA-free biodegradable push-up paper tubes for easy application. A festival season necessity!

Our dry shampoo combines oil-absorbing organic rice starch and kaolin clay with strengthening bamboo, rosemary and matcha green tea. Not just for camping and travel, dry shampoo is essential for nourishing hair, adding volume and reducing damage through over-washing. 

Packaged in a sturdy, fully biodegradable paper shaker tube. Compost the entire package at home, label included!

And of course we wouldn't imagine leaving home without a few of our always-best-selling botanical lip balms! All of our lip balms are now available in new, fully printed, PFA-free and home compostable paper tubes. Basil Mint is one of our top-selling flavors and we love the cooling feel of mint in the Summertime!

Enjoy your Summer and ditch the plastics! See you in the woods!

A Check-in

With our new-ish Eugene workshop fully established, a number of irons in the fire— including some new contracts with local and regional retailers as well as some brand new products coming soon — and our apothecary permaculture garden going strong and ready for spring, Wild Rose is doing better than ever!

Medicine, Native Pollinators and Food!

We've just planted a whole bunch of native and pollinator species throughout the apothecary garden including Clarkia sp., Epilobiums sp., Grindelias sp., Madias sp., Phacelias sp. and more. They've sprouted but aren't much to look at yet!

Kiwi berries newly planted along the tunnel trellis.

The last several weeks we've also been getting a lot of new food producers in the ground including multiple goumi berries—a soil restoration shrub that fixes nitrogen and produces excellent antioxidant-rich berries— some kiwi berries on a new fruit tunnel and pineapple guavas for an evergreen, edible privacy shrub. We've also added a new hillside yarrow stand for erosion control along with our native kinnikinnick in the expanding mini olive orchard adjacent to our impressive native Oregon Grape stand. That's just a small sample however, so stay tuned for later season photos in spring/summer blog posts!

Happy kiwi berries leafing out!
