As potters, caring for our tools includes honoring our hands. We asked our friend Sari at Heilbron Herbs to help us create a hand balm with sweet fern, an essential oil our founder Alex loves for its warm, resinous, herbaceous scent. We tested and tweaked with Sari until we landed on this decadent mixture of soothing natural oils, chamomile, yarrow, and sweet fern. It feels divine massaged into tired hands. See for yourself.

—Sweet fern is rare, once used by indigenous peoples medicinally for ceremonial incense and as insect repellent.
