Tending to Body and Spirit
At the foundation of our offerings is the adoration of the nature within and around us. Through nourishing animal-based skincare and frequency medicine from flowers, we seek to support our whole selves to move towards greater wellbeing.
Ethos
Nourishment for the Body and Spirit
We offer flower essences and skin care products as tools in which to further nourish ourselves. We believe that what we feed our spirit and our skin can have a profound impact on our overall state of being, and should be incorporated as a part of our 'diet'.
Self-care as self-love
We believe in the magic and power of our daily rituals, and that self-care can and should be a time of dedication and devotion to ourselves, supported by incorporating blessings from mother nature.
Using essences and herbs in our products can transform something such as a body butter to have the potential to soothe the nervous system, or a face cream to help us to recognise our inner beauty, in addition the phsyical healing and support they provide.
Truly holistic
Flora Numina seeks to support the unification of our body, spirit, and connection to the natural world. We believe in the significance of the frequency of what we put on and in our body. Every animal, herb, and flower used in our essences and skincare are used in honour of their healing powers, both biochemically and energetically.

Quality sourcing
Where possible, we harvest and cultivate our own botanicals. Interacting with nature, our ingredients are sourced respectfully with gratitude for the life force behind every plant and animal-based ingredient. Where relevant, sustainable wildcrafting and ethical farming practices are employed. The quality of our raw materials is integral to our values.
Ingredients
Organic and grass-fed
When choosing animal-based, the quality and conditions of the animals is paramount. Not all tallow is the same, both in nutritional and toxic load. Grass-fed, pasture raised animals can produce fats with completely different fatty acid and nutrient levels than those raised on other feeds. We believe in the highest quality nutrition for the skin, and so we choose 100% grass fed tallow and ghee in our products.
Often overlooked is the importance of choosing both grass-fed and organically raised products. This is because grass-fed livestock can still be treated with pharmaceuticals and toxins that are readily stored in their fat, as well as. This is why we emphasise the necessity for both these criteria.
Low-PUFA
We focus on using staturated fats in our formulas to support the skin's cellular health. Saturated fats are stable, and are far less susceptible to rancidity and oxidation compared to polyunsaturated fatty acids. Topical use of high-PUFA products can lead to a greater production of free radicals leading to compromised skin health, oxidative damage, and premature ageing.
Whole herb, no essential oils
Keeping true to our holistic approach, we utilise whole herbs in our house-made oleoresins and infusions, as well as in our organically sourced hydrosols. We believe Mother Nature has it right, with each divinely designed plant having the greatest and best tolerated medcine when used whole.
We don't include essential oils in our products, which can cause irritation, cytoxic effects, and damage to the skins barrier and biome.
