Gatherwise wants to help you love yourself from the inside out. Caring for your skin is a choice to care for yourself. Choosing clean, locally-sourced products that bring you joy is important self care. We encourage you to breathe in the sweet natural scents of the garden and find small moments each day to love yourself. 

Gatherwise believes in transparency of ingredients. Gatherwise products have no harmful ingredients and are suitable for all skin types. Our skincare is free of preservatives, synthetics, dyes, or any harsh chemicals. It's simply fresh, whole plant products that are safe and nourishing. We believe not only in clean ingredients, but also in pure intentions with everything we do. 

Gatherwise relies on plants and plants alone. From blossoms to bark, leaves, roots and seeds, Melissa harvests whole, live plants and transforms them into preservative-free skincare wellness products. We share our daily life on the farm to enhance your deep connection to the plants and to the land. Let the smell and feel of each product transport your imagination to the otherwise garden. 

A healthy skincare regimen looks different for everyone. Whether you enjoy a few simple minutes of gentle care and a check-in for your body, or 2 hours of deep nourishment and relaxation, gatherwise offers skincare solutions that help skin stay healthy and glowing for all routines. Rather than promising overnight transformation, gatherwise knows plant medicine takes time to work. Skin cell renewal has a 30-day cycle. Visible change can take approximately 6 weeks. Meanwhile, the nourishing effects begin immediately, as you embark on a daily ritual of soothing self care. 

Gatherwise is working towards a more sustainable business model. Our lip balms come packaged in compostable tubes. All shipping packaging is 100% compostable. Our product boxes and bottles are 100% recyclable. Organically growing the bulk of ingredients on site helps create a roadmap to sustainability. Harvesting by hand in season eliminates shipping, gas and pollution in a majority of our sourcing.
