Simple Sacred Skincare – from the inside out.
As the days grow shorter and the air cools, I always find myself craving warmth — not just from the sun, but from the plants that carry a little of that sunlight inside them.
Many of you know me for what I make for the skin — creams, serums, and balms that soothe and nourish — but before I was a skincare maker, I was (and still am) an herbalist at heart. I’ve always believed that the path to radiant skin and steady energy starts from within, with the small daily rituals that keep us grounded and balanced.
That’s how my Salida Sunshine Elixirs came to be.
A Different Kind of Elixir
My elixirs are powdered botanical blends — made from herbs, roots, berries, spices, and medicinal mushrooms — that you whisk into warm milk, nut milk, or water yourself.
I love this form because it keeps the plants alive and potent until the moment you prepare them. You’re not just pouring a drink; you’re creating a ritual — a pause to stir, to breathe, to sip with intention. It’s a way to connect with the plants in a living, present way — and to remind yourself that healing doesn’t have to be rushed.
Simple, Functional, and Delicious
Each blend starts with organic botanicals known for their nourishing properties — rosehips and acerola for Vitamin C, ashwagandha and shatavari for resilience, turmeric and ginger for warmth and circulation, mushrooms for immune and adrenal support — all gently balanced with maple syrup granules for a touch of natural sweetness and depth.
They’re functional without ever losing flavor, and beautiful without ever being fussy.
You can think of them as plant-based comfort drinks for every mood or season — a way to restore your energy, uplift your spirit, and care for your skin from the inside out.
How to Enjoy Them
Whisk 1–2 teaspoons into your favorite warm milk or hot water.
Add a splash of honey if you like.
Stir slowly, inhale the aroma, and let the warmth settle in.
Each blend has its own rhythm:
Golden Elixir for calm and balance
Radiant C for daily glow
Kava Rose Chai for heart and comfort
Sip them as a morning ritual, an afternoon reset, or a soothing close to the day.
From the Inside Out
For me, these elixirs are more than just blends — they’re a way of remembering that beauty and balance don’t always come from what we put on the skin, but from what we nourish within.
Each sip is a moment of connection — to yourself, to the plants, and to the simple rhythms of the season.
So take a breath. Warm the water. Stir slowly. Let the plants remind you that your body already knows how to restore itself — it just needs time and care.
With love,
