A lightweight moisturizing cream harnessing the gifts of forest and fungi friends, Birch Blessings relies on the symbiotic harmony between birch trees - one of the most giving trees in northern forests - and medicinal mushrooms. Uniting dual extracts of four mushrooms that grow on birch trees - chaga, turkey tail, birch polypore and tinder conk - this cloud-like cream offers up an abundance of highly bioavailable vitamin D, selenium, and antioxidants, as well as polysaccharides to help promote cellular regeneration and collagen production, and anti-inflammatory compounds and beta-glucans to help calm irritated, red, or itchy skin. Infused with sacred ancient resins of palo santo and frankincense, as well as cozy vanilla bean, this cream also helps to brighten, soothe, and refresh...all while smelling absolutely divine.
1oz

Amanda is a graduate of Formula Botanica's Accredited Organic Skincare Science School, and has a diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation and an Advanced Diploma in Organic Cosmetic Science, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree from Eastern Michigan University in Linguistics and French and is licensed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as a Wild Mushroom Identification Expert. Growing up in Northern Michigan, plants and nature have always been an integral part of Amanda's life. Her love of plants has followed, or rather, taken her around the world to work and volunteer on organic farms and permaculture projects in Central America and South East Asia to learn more about biodiversity, ecosystems, and sustainable agricultural practices. At Flora+Fungi, Amanda combines modern scientific research about wild flora and fungi with traditional plant knowledge of the indigenous cultures of North America to create modern products rooted in ancient traditions. She believes in respecting nature: only using plants that grow in abundance, as to not disturb the delicate balance of the forest ecosystems by over-harvesting. Using local botanicals also helps to reduce Flora+Fungi’s carbon footprint.
