HIGH SIERRA BOTANICALS FACE PRODUCTS - SUMMARY
Five Fantastic Face Formulas From Holly Beatie
High Sierra Botanicals' products are formulated and handmade by Holly Beatie. These complex face care recipes are full of anti-aging, wrinkle-reducing, regenerative, rejuvenating and deeply healing ingredients. Some of the herbs used in Holly's recipes are locally wild-harvested in the High Sierra. All herbs in these products are either wild-crafted or organically grown. Complimentary flower essences are added to the formulas to enhance the efficacy of the other ingredients and raise the vibration. It's the synergy of the ingredients that make these products so potent while remaining gentle.
All products are free of toxic chemicals, pore-clogging petroleum-based ingredients, and contain no fillers. This means they are very concentrated (a little goes a long way) and are rich in the finest healthy, healing ingredients only.
