autumn
a time for comfort and introspection.
vata season
As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, nature invites us to slow down and turn inward. Fall marks the beginning of Vata season, a time of increased dryness, coolness, and movement, when both the body, skin, and nervous system benefit from added warmth and steadiness. Taking cues from the natural world—where creatures retreat and conserve energy—this season encourages comforting foods, grounding rituals, and more nourishing skin care to restore moisture, protect the skin barrier, and create a sense of ease as we transition toward winter.
Rituals & Lifestyle
Grounding morning ritual: gentle stretching, warm water, a few mindful breaths
Abhyanga (self-massage): a few times per week to counter windiness and dryness
Evening wind-down: journaling, candlelight, reading, or quiet music to calm scattered energy
Movement: light walks, restorative yoga, or breath-centered practices to balance Vata’s airy, restless energy
Sleep: aim for consistent bedtime to stabilize your rhythm

I’ve dreamed about this balm for months – how to create a beautifully fragrant and light balm around the plant family of the Rose, without the Rose fragrance? Instead, playing with the late Summer ripeness of collagen boosting Apple, the creamy sugar of moisturising Plum, the delightful sweet of antioxidant Strawberry and the tart sour of Vitamin C rich Sloe. A jar filled with the rose gold of the late Summer Sun.
It’s an almost translucent, delicate and non-occlusive balm that absorbs quickly without oily residue. Composed entirely without essential oils to restore glow that seems to radiate from within the layers of the skin. The composition is subtly grounded with sun-infused extracts of Chaga mushroom combat free radicals and promote elasticity, and synergises with extracts of hyaluronic rich Tremella mushroom to nourish and hydrate the skin.
While Peony is technically not part of the Rose family, the ‘Pfingsrose’, as we call it, has big significance in my family and was my late Dad’s favourite flower. It has incredible skin calming properties to soothe irritaions and inflammation.
