Flourish Back to Basics

💚 A LITTLE UPDATE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF FLOURISH BACK TO BASICS 💚

If you’ve been following Flourish for a while, you know how much I love creating handcrafted skincare in small batches, working with ingredients inspired by nature, and sharing the beauty of simple skincare with you.

That will always be an important part of Flourish. 🌿

But as my little business continues to grow, I’m exploring something new: adding a carefully selected collection of skincare products alongside my handcrafted creations. ✨

I want to be completely transparent with you. These additional products are sourced from trusted suppliers rather than formulated and handmade by me. Their formulas may include naturally derived ingredients as well as other ingredients commonly used in modern skincare.

Why expand?

Because skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’d love to offer more options for those who enjoy exploring different ingredients and formulations. 💚

I also understand that some of you specifically shop with me because you prefer all-natural, handcrafted products. I respect that, and I never want you to feel misled about what you’re purchasing.

Here’s my promise to you:

🌿 I’ll continue sharing my handcrafted creations.

🤍 I’ll be transparent about which products I make and which ones I source.

✨ I’ll share ingredient information so you can make informed choices.

You don’t have to love every product I offer. You just deserve to know what’s in it and where it comes from.

Flourish Back To Basics is growing, and I’m excited to explore new possibilities while staying true to the values that brought us together in the first place.

Thank you for supporting my small business, asking questions, sharing your thoughts, and growing with me. It truly means so much! 🌼

💬 I’d love to hear from you: Would you be open to seeing carefully selected skincare products alongside my handcrafted collection, as long as I’m transparent about the ingredients and how each product is made?

Let’s have an honest conversation. There’s room for different preferences here. 💚

With gratitude,
Flourish Back To Basics 🌿

🌿 LET’S TALK FACIAL SERUMS!

Have you ever wondered what makes a facial serum different from a moisturizer?

Let’s get back to basics!

WHAT IS A FACIAL SERUM?

A facial serum is a skincare product formulated to deliver selected ingredients to the skin. Depending on its ingredients, a serum can help soften, condition, and support the skin’s moisture barrier.

WHY ADD A SERUM TO YOUR ROUTINE?

🌿For a nourished feel: Oil-based serums can help soften and condition the skin.

🌿 For a little extra care: Different botanical oils offer different qualities, textures, and skin-feel experiences.

🌿 For a personalized routine: The best serum for you depends on what your skin needs, your preferences, and the rest of your skincare routine.

DID YOU KNOW? A facial oil or oil-based serum and a moisturizer aren’t always interchangeable. Many moisturizers combine water, oils, and other ingredients, while anhydrous facial serums are formulated without water.

At Flourish Back To Basics, our handcrafted botanical serum collection features thoughtfully selected oils, with different blends to explore.

🌿 Let’s make this interactive!

Which best describes your skin?

💧 Dry or tight-feeling
🌱 Oily
🌸 Combination
🤎 Sensitive or easily irritated
✨ Not sure yet!

🌿 BACK TO BASICS TUESDAY: LET’S TALK JOJOBA OIL!

Have you ever wondered why jojoba oil is such a popular ingredient in skincare? ✨

Despite being called an oil, jojoba is actually a liquid wax ester. Its unique composition is similar to some of the natural wax esters found in our skin!

🌱 Why is it loved in skincare?
✨ Helps soften and condition the skin
✨ Helps reduce moisture loss
✨ Leaves skin feeling smooth and nourished
✨ Can be used in facial and body care formulations

One of the things we love about botanical ingredients is that each has its own unique qualities. Jojoba oil is just one example of how simple ingredients can play an important role in a thoughtful skincare routine.

At Flourish Back To Basics, we believe skincare starts with understanding what you put on your skin. 🤎

💬 Let’s talk! Have you ever used jojoba oil in your skincare routine, or is this ingredient new to you?

🌿 Handcrafted in small batches with care.

🌿 A LITTLE HELLO FROM FLOURISH BACK TO BASICS 🌿

Sometimes life gets busy, and we need a little time to slow down, regroup, and find our rhythm again and again lol. 🤎

But one thing that hasn’t changed is our love for simple skincare, thoughtful ingredients, and helping you understand what you’re putting on your skin.

✨ This week, we’re getting back to the basics!

We’ll be talking about:
🌱 Plant oils and their role in skincare
💧 How to choose a facial serum
🧖‍♀️ Gentle exfoliation and clay masks
🤎 The difference between body butters and lotions
🌸 And how to build a skincare routine that works for YOU!

At Flourish Back To Basics, we believe skincare should be about more than just applying a product. It’s about understanding your ingredients, learning what your skin enjoys, and creating little moments of self-care.

And because we’d love to hear from you…

💬 What’s one skincare topic you’ve always wanted to understand better?

Drop your question in the comments! Let’s learn together. 🌿

Thank you for being part of our little community. We’re happy to be back! 🤎

🌿 Flourish Back To Basics 🌿 Simple ingredients. Thoughtful skincare. A little time for you.

Hello girlies and guys 💞 I hope everyone is doing well. Just checking in seeing how you all are doing.

I’m doing well over this way.. What has everyone been up to? What have you all been working on? I need to get caught up with you all!! 🌷✨

I really have not been doing nothing just working caring for my patient. Doing my pick ups and drop offs as usual and trying to be active daily. Taking stairs rather than the elevator when I go to work. Just small things.

Found a few chanterelles 🍄‍🟫 (mushroom pictured) by the beach other day.

Flourish is taking orders…. Check out our amazing scents we have available for you! 🛒

🌻 SUNFLOWER OIL 🌻

Sometimes the simplest ingredients have a lot to offer. 🌿

Did you know sunflower oil can be a beautiful addition to a skincare formula?

Sunflower oil is a lightweight botanical oil that helps condition and soften the skin without feeling overly heavy or greasy.

✨ Why we love it in skincare:

🌻 Helps keep skin feeling soft and smooth
🌻 Provides nourishing fatty acids, including linoleic acid
🌻 Helps support the skin’s moisture barrier
🌻 Lightweight enough to work beautifully in body care
🌻 Pairs wonderfully with rich butters and other botanical oils

And this is exactly what we mean when we say “Back to Basics.”

We don’t have to make skincare complicated. Sometimes it starts with understanding the ingredients we’re putting on our skin. 🤎

At Flourish Back To Basics, we thoughtfully combine botanical oils, nourishing butters, and other carefully selected ingredients to create our small-batch products.

🌿 Simple ingredients. Thoughtful skincare. Made with intention.

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in your skincare and wondered what they actually do? 👀

🌿 Simplify your routine
🧴 Nourish your skin
✨ Make time for yourself
🤎 Choose products with intention

What does “going back to basics” mean to YOU?

Is it simplifying your skincare routine, taking better care of yourself, slowing down or maybe a little bit of all three?

🌿 THERAPEUTIC THURSDAY | SLOW DOWN & NOURISH 🌿

When was the last time you actually slowed down while taking care of your skin?

Self-care doesn’t always have to mean an elaborate routine. Sometimes it’s as simple as stepping out of the shower, reaching for your favorite body butter, and taking a few extra minutes to care for YOU. 🤎

✨ Warm a small amount of body butter between your hands.
✨ Massage it gently into clean, slightly damp skin.
✨ Take a deep breath.
✨ Enjoy the texture, the scent, and the moment.

Our handcrafted body butters are made in small batches with nourishing butters and oils to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and cared for. 🌿

And remember…

You don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to wait for the “perfect” time to care for yourself.
You deserve a moment, too. 🤎

That’s what Flourish is all about bringing a little more intention back to your everyday self-care ritual.

🌱 Made with love. Backed by nature. Always small batch.

What does your perfect self-care moment look like? 👇🏽
A warm shower? 🛁
A favorite scent? 🌸
A little body butter? 🧴
Or simply 10 quiet minutes to yourself? ✨

🌿 MOISTURE MONDAY: HYDRATION vs. MOISTURIZATION 💧

Did you know your skin can be hydrated AND moisturized and they’re not exactly the same thing? 👀

💧 HYDRATION
Think water! Hydration is about increasing the skin’s water content and helping it feel fresh, plump, and comfortable.

🧴 MOISTURIZATION
Think nourishment + barrier support! Moisturizing helps soften the skin and reduce moisture loss, leaving it feeling smooth and supple.

✨ So where does Flourish come in?

Our handcrafted body butters and botanical oil serums are designed to condition and nourish the skin, making them beautiful additions to your self-care routine.

And don’t forget your exfoliation! 🌿

Our sugar & salt scrubs and scrub melts help remove surface buildup, leaving your skin feeling smoother and ready for the rest of your routine.

💚 A simple self-care routine:
1️⃣ Cleanse
2️⃣ Exfoliate a few times a week
3️⃣ Apply your serum or body butter while skin is slightly damp
4️⃣ Enjoy that soft, nourished feeling ✨

Now tell us… what is your skin craving today?
💧 Hydration
✨ Softness
