This line is everything you love about a seaside town in the summer. Seeking to capture the forest and the ocean as spiritual medicine for the body, the line relies on cold pressed organic plant oils, seaweeds, flowers and sea salt to conjure these natural elements. Founded by Jana Blankenship, who grew up on Maine’s coast, the company is still women-run. We love that to really reinforce the sea theme and conjure a message-in-a-bottle feel, all packaging is made from reusable glass.

Rahua
The Rahua story goes back thousands of years, in the Amazon rainforest, when the women of the Quechua-Shuar tribe discovered that Rahua oil created a nourishing glow on hair and skin. This ingredient was passed down as a beauty secret over generations. In the 1990s, it was given to stylist and active conservationist, Fabian Lliguin, a native Ecuadorian of Quechua descent. Lliguin harnessed the power of Rahua oil into this haircare line, now synonymous with rainforest beauty.
