Funny River Trading herbal skin-care products are formulated and made in my kitchen in Keene Valley, New York. (And, yes, my house does smell really good.) 

Our products are based on traditional recipes used to treat ailments of the mind and body.  We start with carrier oils such as olive and avocado oils which are known to have healing and regenerative properties. We infuse our oils with dried herbs  used for centuries to treat skin ailments.  Herbs like comfrey, chickweed and black walnut hull have been boiled, chewed and stewed then applied to the skin across cultures to relieve everything from bug bites to foot fungus.

We use only 100% pure steam-distilled essential oils—no fragrance oils—in all of our products.  Our blends such as Lose-the-Blues and Sweet Dreams are based on age-old remedies for natural relief of ailments related to stress and nervous fatigue.  Our salves contain essential oils like calendula, tea tree and neem which have been used medicinally for hundreds of years for their antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal properties.

Finally, we use only beeswax  produced by bees here in the Adirondacks in our balms and salves.   Beeswax is a natural hydrating ingredient that increases essential moisture in the skin.  In folk medicine, beeswax was used as an antiseptic for wound healing.
