In the earliest traditions of Native American medicine, plants were infused into oils and fats not as luxury, but as medicine. These remedies were born from a deep relationship with the land, shaped by season, intuition, and community knowledge.
Across continents, others had their own herbal wisdom. Egyptians crafted perfumed salves. Romans bathed in botanical blends. Ayurvedic doctors massaged oils into skin for balance and healing.
These traditions offered more than just indulgence. They were grounded in the truth that your skin is alive. It listens. It absorbs. It responds.
Which is why what we put on our skin should be just as intentional as what we put in our bodies.
Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Life
For nearly 50 years, WishGarden Herbs has been a trusted voice in herbal wellness. As a woman-owned, family-run company rooted in the Rocky Mountain foothills, we've built our reputation on one simple truth: herbs are powerful tools for bettering our well-being, both inside and out.
Our founder and master herbalist, Catherine Hunziker, has spent decades handcrafting award-winning bodycare products that are as legendary as our tinctures. Her deep understanding of whole plant material and traditional infusion methods has shaped every formula in our collection.
But we didn't stop there. We've reimagined our beloved oils and balms with fresh eyes, using the same commitment to sourcing and quality that has made us America's #1 selling liquid herbal blends supplement brand.
In the art of crafting bodycare, every detail matters. Every herb, every oil, every step of the process. This is more than a beauty trend. It's about honoring generations of wisdom while meeting the real needs of modern families, especially the moms and babies who have always been at the heart of everything we do.
What Makes Our Herbal Oils & Balms Different
Here's what sets our bodycare collection apart: we believe in simple solutions for a complex world. Unlike synthetic chemicals found in conventional products, our whole herb-infused USDA organic bodycare products deliver the full spectrum of beneficial compounds that nature intended without any harmful & unnecessary extras. This is clean beauty at its finest.
Our Quality Standards and Process
We start with premium USDA organic and sustainably wildcrafted herbs, some sourced fresh from the Rocky Mountains. Our proprietary blend of the purest non-comedogenic jojoba and camelina oils serves as the base for ultimate hydration and easy absorption.
Our Pure & Clean Ingredient Promise
Creating truly effective herbal oils requires more than just mixing herbs with carrier oil. Our proprietary whole-herb infusion process ensures maximum extraction of beneficial properties while maintaining the integrity of both the plant material and oils. Our Pure & Clean Ingredient Promise rests on these foundational principles:
- Premium USDA organic and sustainably wildcrafted botanicals sourced from trusted partners
- Proprietary whole-herb infusion process that captures maximum plant potency
- Clean formulations free from preservatives, parabens, phthalates and synthetic additives
- ZERO artificial fragrances or concentrated essential oils
- Non-comedogenic base of jojoba oil and camelina oil for deep hydration without clogging pores
- Traditional extraction methods that honor centuries of herbal wisdom
- Products that are gluten free, non-GMO and free from common allergens
- Never tested on animals
The Science Behind Our Infusion Method
What distinguishes our herbal-infused oils from essential oils or simple carrier oils? It's all in the process. Our traditional oil infusion methods draw out more than just scent—they extract the full spectrum of a plant's beneficial compounds. Unlike essential oils, which isolate only the most volatile compounds, infused oils capture both water- and oil-soluble properties, delivering nourishing fatty acids, skin-loving vitamins, and other beneficial compounds that essential oils often leave behind.
Our herbal infusion process uses gentle heating to extract the full spectrum of plant compounds without damaging delicate constituents. This approach preserves the integrity of both the oil and plant material, ensuring delicate compounds aren't damaged by excessive heat. We capture each plant's natural essential oils without isolating them, giving these products a soft natural scent that soothes instead of overwhelms.
Quality control is paramount throughout the process, and we carefully monitor every batch to guarantee consistency and safety. The result? Oils that deliver comprehensive plant benefits while remaining gentle enough for the most sensitive skin, with excellent shelf life when stored correctly in a cool, dark place.
