As a lifelong plant lover, licensed esthetician, and massage therapist with sensitive, reactive skin, I spent years refining my recipes for simple, powerful, whole plant products to support genuinely healthy, vibrant, good-looking skin. Why?

So I could share this full spectrum, Reiki-infused, herbal goodness with all you other sensitive souls out there!

You Know Healthy Skin is Attractive Skin

… and goes deeper than the surface. It’s about the quality of the ingredients, the way they work with your skin and with each other. It’s about the energy of the plants, and the energy of the skin care formulator.

Choose Food Grade & Organic Ingredients

Most of the ingredients in GreenSpirit Craft products are actually food grade AND organic.

Choosing fresh, high vitality ingredients creates stellar quality skin care that's easily absorbed and used by your skin cells, the same way choosing the best quality food possible makes for the best tasting, most nutritious meals.

Skip The Preservatives & Emulsifiers

These are simple shelf stable products that don’t need preservatives & emulsifiers.

Preservative-free means they assist by encouraging a healthy balance of friendly bacteria on your skin's surface, while providing very skin-friendly ingredients that are easily recognized & used by your skin.

Enjoy Seasonal Formulas

In Traditional Asian Medicine, and other folk medicine health systems, your body needs different support depending on the season.

GSC face & body butters are created in 2 versions: Spring/Summer is more light & cooling. Autumn/Winter is gently warming, stimulating, and grounding.

It’s helpful for your skin to be mildly stimulated by switching up what you’re using a couple of times through the year.

Experience the Awesomeness of Clarified Cow Butter

The face & body butters have an animal butter base for a very important reason.

Our skin cells function best with a certain percentage of cholesterol, and this is the easiest way for me to provide you with a high quality, food grade, organic source. Ayurveda has done this for centuries. The traditional use of tallow moisturizers also fit into this category.

These Are For You If You Talk To Your Plants

Skin care that replenishes from the inside out and the outside in, full of that Spirit spark that's in all living beings.

You receive a heartfelt energy {hug} to lift your spirits!

Each product treats you to a combination of Life Source Energy and loving intention, which comes from the plants, the elements, and myself, through my Reiki energy channel.

"Katrina's Summer Butter & Winter Balm is like spreading consciousness on my skin. A little goes a long way.

Great as an oil cleanser & moisturizer. Light, creamy, easily absorbed, my skin feels protected yet able to breathe. The Winter Balm is my favorite!" -- Liza C.

These Are For You If You Listen To Your Plants

Our relationships with plants and earth-based materials span thousands of years; full of richness, ritual, and co-evolution.

Applying GreenSpirit Craft skin care is like enjoying a visit with a much loved friend, full of smiles, and juicy heartfelt connection.

You and I know the best friendships involve mutual give & take. You’ve been looking for ways to open your senses & deepen your listening.

Are you ready to hear the ways Nature is asking you to be present and to give back?

Nurture Your GreenSpirit & You May Find Yourself...

~Slowing down more, to touch, see, smell, and be more curious about the plants around you.

~Being awed by the impressive (and sometimes annoying) ability of plants to adapt & thrive, anywhere & everywhere.

~Joining a community garden.

~Learning more about how plants affect our Earth family: insects, animals, birds, water, and so on.

~Discovering the differences between ethical wildcrafting & irresponsible wildcrafting, and making your purchases accordingly.

~Sharing your newfound knowledge with others!

~Donating to an organization like United Plant Savers.

Or…How will you be called to deepen your friendships?

How GreenSpirit Craft Gives Back

Although I use herbal plants & knowledge from all over the globe, I feel Ayurveda has deeply informed my process & how I advise folks to use my products, so I make donations to the American India Foundation to honor that gift.

By the way, these products are NOT for you if:

X You want the convenience of scooping your face mask out of the jar and using it right away. X

GSC enzyme mask is in powder form, so you’ll measure & mix with water to rehydrate before applying. This allows for a preservative-free formula with a long shelf life.

X You want products free of animal-based ingredients. X

There are many excellent vegan skin care lines out there. GSC face & body butters use organic, food-grade clarified cow butter so your skin cells have superb quality cholesterol to support their ability to function at their best.

X You want skin care with aromas that are very fruity, floral, or otherwise strongly present. X

Winter Balm & Summer Butter aromas are subtle, very understated, and come from the whole plants being infused into the oils, along with a whisper of essential oils. If you have questions about my formulating process, reach out to me by email: Katrina@GreenSpiritCraft.com
