Our Story

Chelsea Morning was born on a small lavender farm along California’s coast, a place called Nustad Family Ranch. What began as simple batches of goat-milk lotion made by hand in the farmhouse kitchen has grown into a collection of thoughtfully crafted skincare and home essentials.

PURVEYORS OF FINE BOTANICAL POTIONS, ELIXIRS & RITUAL BODY CARE

For the modern bohemian — good for you, good for your soul.

We are an herbal-inspired apothecary rooted in ritual, simplicity, and a deep respect for the natural world. Our botanical body care is created for those seeking a slower, more intentional relationship with skincare—one that honors the body, the earth, and the quiet magic found in daily routines.

After years of feeling lost in the commercialized beauty industry, surrounded by plastic packaging, synthetic fragrances, and unnecessary additives, we chose a different path. We believe great skincare does not require toxins, fillers, or harmful ingredients. It requires thoughtful formulation, time-honored herbal wisdom, and a commitment to doing things differently.


OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our work is inspired by traditional apothecaries, ancestral herbal practices, and modern botanical science. We blend old-world herbal traditions with a contemporary, minimalist approach to create products that feel grounding, sensual, and purposeful.

Every product is designed to support ritual—not trends. From magnesium body butter to botanical lotions and balms, our offerings are crafted to be used slowly and intentionally, turning everyday care into moments of restoration.


CLEAN, PLANT-FORWARD FORMULATIONS

We are uncompromising about ingredients. Our botanical body care is made without:

  • Phthalates
  • Synthetic fragrances
  • Parabens
  • Petroleum derivatives
  • Artificial dyes
  • Harsh preservatives

Instead, we focus on plant-based ingredients, nourishing oils, herbal infusions, and mineral elements that work in harmony with the skin. Each formula is carefully considered, balancing efficacy with simplicity.

Our products are designed for those seeking non-toxic skincare, clean beauty alternatives, and natural body care without unnecessary complexity.


PLASTIC-FREE & LOW-WASTE VALUES

Sustainability is not a trend for us—it’s a responsibility. We are committed to reducing waste wherever possible by prioritizing plastic-free packaging, recyclable materials, and minimal excess. While perfection isn’t always possible, progress always is.

We believe small choices matter. Thoughtful packaging, intentional sourcing, and mindful production are part of honoring the land that gives us these botanicals in the first place.


A MODERN BOHEMIAN APOTHECARY

Our aesthetic is rooted in the modern bohemian spirit—earthy, intuitive, and unapologetically soulful. There is a quiet witchiness to our work, not performative or costume-like, but grounded in intuition, ritual, and reverence for nature.

We create for those drawn to herbal traditions, ritual skincare, and a slower, more intentional way of living. Our products are meant to live in your bathroom, on your nightstand, and in the small moments where self-care becomes something deeper.


MADE WITH INTENTION

Every botanical potion, elixir, and ritual body care product we create is made with care, clarity, and purpose. We believe skincare should feel good to use, good to trust, and good to return to—again and again.

This is body care for those who value ingredients, ritual, and the quiet magic of doing less, better.
