Sustainability is a core value at Wildling. Our products are made with great care and deep respect for the Earth. Whenever possible, our ingredients come from small-batch, organic, local, biodynamic, family-owned farms. In some cases, they are harvested by farmers who forage wild plants seasonally. Wild harvesting protects our water resources and supports our natural forests. We opt to leave essential oils out of our formulas because of the amount of water required to generate just one drop of essential oil.
The herbaceous aroma of our formulas comes from the whole, fresh plant infusion. Each plant is medicinal, intentionally chosen for its unique benefit to the skin and to complement the gua sha ritual.
Wildling is part of a worldwide movement to improve water and air quality, slow climate change, and reduce poverty by planting trees. To date, Wildling has helped plant approximately 15,000 trees through the Arbor Day Foundation.
