A Guide to Protecting, Healing & Nourishing Your Skin with Nature’s Finest Ingredients.
Winter skin is its own beast.
Cold air outside. Dry heat inside. Low humidity everywhere.
Your skin barrier is battling dehydrated cells, surface inflammation, compromised moisture levels, and slowed circulation.
Most commercial products don’t help — they actually make it worse.
Synthetic fragrances, petroleum-based fillers, detergents, and drying alcohols strip the skin, disrupt the microbiome, and suffocate the barrier your skin desperately needs to protect itself in cold weather.
This is exactly why Herbs and Mylk stands in a league of its own.
Everything we create is high-performance botanical ingredients, functional plant chemistry, and old-world herbalism blended with modern formulation principles.
Here’s why Herbs and Mylk should be the only thing touching your skin this winter.
Winter has a way of exposing everything your skin is struggling with.
The dry air. The cold wind. The constant heat blasting inside. The low humidity.
Your moisture barrier gets hit from every angle — and if your skincare isn’t supporting it, the dryness, irritation, flaking, and tightness show up fast.
The truth is, most store-bought winter skincare does more harm than good.
Synthetic fragrances, fillers, petroleum-based creams, and harsh cleansers strip the skin and leave it even more vulnerable.
This is exactly why I create everything at Herbs and Mylk with intention, herbal knowledge, and ingredients your skin actually understands.
Let me explain why my products are truly the only thing your skin needs this winter — and exactly how each ingredient supports and protects you during the coldest months.
My Formulas Focus on the Moisture Barrier — Because Winter Destroys It
Everything I make is designed to strengthen and protect your barrier, the outer layer of your skin that keeps moisture in and irritants out.
I use real, rich, skin-loving ingredients like:
- Organic shea butter
- Sweet almond oil
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Fresh local goat milk
- Herbal-infused oils
- Nourishing clays
These ingredients speak the same “language” as your skin.
They replenish the lipids your barrier loses in winter, instead of coating your skin in synthetic fillers.
Where big brands rely on cheap additives and lab-made waxes, I rely on plant butters, botanical oils, minerals, and herbs — because that’s what your skin thrives on.
My Herbal Infusion Is a Winter Lifesaver
Every body butter, deodorant, lotion, and many cleansers start with my signature herbal infusion — something you won’t find in conventional skincare.
I infuse sweet almond oil for weeks with:
- Calendula
- Comfrey
- Chickweed
- Marshmallow root
Together, they create a deeply soothing, skin-repairing powerhouse.
Why these herbs matter in winter:
Calendula
Helps move lymphatic fluid, reduces puffiness, supports healing, and calms irritation from dry air or windburn.
Comfrey
Rich in allantoin, it speeds up skin renewal and softens rough winter patches.
Chickweed
Soothes itchiness and inflammation — one of the biggest complaints when the air gets dry.
Marshmallow Root
Gel-like plant mucilage hydrates, protects, and leaves the skin plush, cushioned, and silky.
This is the kind of botanical therapy winter skin craves.
Our Cleansers Clean Without Stripping (Most Don’t)
Winter cleansing should be gentle and nourishing — not harsh and drying.
My artisan bar soaps are made with:
- Fresh local goat milk
- Organic shea butter
- Sweet almond oil
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- French green clay, rhassoul, red rose clay, ocean blue clay
Goat milk alone is an entire winter treatment:
- Naturally exfoliating (lactic acid)
- Moisturizing
- Smoothing for keratosis pilaris
- Gentle enough for sensitive winter skin
Your skin stays clean, but never tight or dry.
I Never Use the Ingredients That Make Winter Skin Worse
Every product is free from:
- synthetic fragrances
- parabens
- petroleum
- silicone fillers
- drying alcohols
- sulfates or stripping detergents
- artificial dyes
- irritants and endocrine disruptors
These are the exact ingredients that worsen eczema, flakiness, irritation, redness, and barrier damage — especially in the winter.
Herbs and Mylk avoids all of that, always.
I Formulate Patiently, Informed and with Love, Not a Factory
Every single product in my line has a purpose.
Our body butters
Seal in hydration, repair the barrier, and soften deeply.
Our bar soaps
Cleanse gently, nourish, hydrate, support the microbiome.
Our emulsified scrubs
Exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.
Our whipped soaps
Use gentle surfactants, botanical oils, and minerals instead of harsh cleansers.
Our perfumes
Are made with organic sugar alcohols so they’re non-irritating and clean.
Everything is handcrafted with skin health in mind — not just scent, texture, or “trend.”
Our Ingredients Actually Feed the Skin
Winter skin doesn’t need more chemicals.
It needs nourishment — real nourishment.
Your skin responds beautifully when it’s given:
- fatty acids
- plant antioxidants
- botanical mucilage
- herbal medicine
- rich butters
- clean oils
- mineral-rich clays
- goat milk probiotics and lactic acid
These are the ingredients that create long-lasting hydration, softness, healing, and radiance.
And those are the ingredients I use in every single formula.
This Is More Than Skincare — It’s a Winter Ritual
Herbs and Mylk isn’t just about looking good on your shelf.

Every product is meant to be a ritual — a grounding moment where winter feels less harsh and your skin feels deeply held.
