Slow Botanicals

 Chwynyn (Pronounced “Quinin”), of Slow Botanicals, has a background in midwifery, health care, and design. A deep love for botanicals has woven its way through each of these experiences, enriching every step of her path. These experiences, along with her passion for plants, led to Chwynyn blending wise woman wisdom and sound science to create handcrafted skin care products. Each product is made in small batches from botanicals Chwynyn harvests in the wild and picks from her organic garden. To make the cut, botanicals included must heal and nourish sensitive, dry and aging skin. As these products are meant for the most sensitive of skin, the hand-picked flowers, leaves, mushrooms, lichens and seeds are combined only with the shortest list possible of pure ingredients. A lifetime of unhealthy care products alongside changing hormones make this essential for your health.

Chwynyn knows that pretty and healthy skin are not only dependent on what you put on your skin, and so she encourages the practice of slow beauty. Slow beauty is closely related to slow living. By making daily choices that stem from a slow beauty perspective, you will enjoy improved physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Your days will feel better. You’ll appreciate yourself more.

Chwynyn lives on a small peninsula in Washington State, just a short walk from both beach and forest, with her artist-husband and two young children. In the garden surrounding their home, Chwynyn grows around 95% of her family’s fruit and veggies for the entire year. The beautiful herb and flower garden provide ingredients for her botanical skincare products, and let her bring cut flowers into the home. Equally important, these blooms feed the many pollinators flitting about her garden.

Chwynyn sells her pure botanically infused skin care products at slowbotanicals.com. You will also find Chwynyn’s insights on slow beauty and skin care there, on the blog. Chwynyn is on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Linked in.
