A sap rich bark and needle distillation of black birch, white pine, and wild cherry from the gardens and fields gracing the Suntrap Botanical land in Brooktondale, New York are steam distilled in a copper alembic still to create this stunning hydrosol that soothes and tones sensitive spring skin.
Hydrosols balance our skin's pH, equalize oil and water, are mildly astringent, and - depending on the plant that's distilled - may be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hydrating. Suntrap makes their small batch distillation with vibrant in-season herbs that offer stress-relieving aromatherapy as well as a plethora of skin benefits.
4fl oz
Farm fresh botanicals distilled in a copper alembic still. 100% pure hydrosol of black birch, white pine, and wild cherry.
Spritz on face and neck after cleansing and before (& after for extra dry skin) moisturizing. Apply hydrosols throughout the day to freshen up the complexion and get a dose of stress relieving aromatherapy.
Founded by clinical herbalist, lifelong gardener, and botanical dyer Geraldine Lavin in 2015, Suntrap Botanical is an herb farm and apothecary in Brooktondale, New York. The thread that weaves her work together is the concept of Bioregionalism. Bioregional Herbalism is the practice of working with the abundant herbs of the region, rather than importing ingredients from all around the globe.
Living in reciprocity with the land is Suntrap's core value...with a focus on the relationship between ecological and human health. They wonder: How can they provide for human needs while regenerating a thriving ecology?
Suntrap offers seed to bottle tincture formulas (all herbs are grown on Suntrap’s land or sourced directly from small + regenerative farmers they trust), seasonal wellness boxes, consultation services, educational materials, workshops, and retreats.
