Whether your skin tends toward dryness, excess shine, combination concerns, or sensitivity, there is an infusion designed with your needs in mind. Each has its own botanical character, offering a different approach to conditioning your skin and maintaining a soft, supple appearance.
Discover a more personal approach to facial care, one botanical infusion at a time.
The Apothecary Process
There is something so special about a product handmade with care from the beginning. These infusions are manufactured by The Apothecary Tea, bringing apothecary craftsmanship together with The Skin Guide CO.’s vision for skin-specific botanical care.
The process begins by combining carrier oils with selected whole, dried botanicals. The mixture undergoes slow-heat maceration at approximately 110°F, allowing the plant materials to remain immersed in the oil base over an extended period. After infusion, the mixture is cooled and filtered before the finishing oils are added.
Rather than relying on essential oils, the collection uses whole botanical materials in its infusion process. Each blend has its own combination of leaves, flowers, or resin, alongside oils chosen for their conditioning properties.
The result is five distinct botanical formulas prepared through a shared, carefully considered method. From the ingredients selected to the way they are brought together, each infusion reflects an appreciation for the details behind a well-made skincare product.

For combination skin
