About Briar Patch Remedies

At Briar Patch Remedies, we believe skincare should feel like a return to nature—gentle, grounding, and deeply nourishing.

Born out of my own struggle with dry, sensitive skin, Briar Patch Remedies began as a personal quest. I was tired of choosing between products that either couldn't nourish my dry skin, were petroleum-based, or filled with fragrances that left my skin irritated. So, I started making my own—slowly, simply, and with care.

Each balm and salve is handcrafted in small batches using plant-based ingredients chosen for their healing properties and skin-loving benefits. I wild forage some of the herbs myself while hiking—my favorite way to learn from the land and connect with the plants I work with. From the forest floor to your fingertips, everything I make is infused with intention and respect for the natural world.

My products are made for those who seek a little luxury in their self-care—clean, effective remedies made without compromise. No synthetic fragrances. No shortcuts. Just time-honored botanicals, thoughtfully blended to soothe and restore.

Whether you’re nourishing your face, softening tired feet, or simply treating yourself to a moment of calm, I hope Briar Patch Remedies brings you back to yourself—and to the earth.

Welcome to The Patch.
