About Us

After 25 years in film and television production, I started working with healing plants about ten years ago.  Both my sister, my husband and I all struggled with irritated, itchy skin blotches and red, angry rashes, and suspected strong chemicals in creams and prescriptions.   After a herbal medicine-making course*, I started making face creams, researching and using plant oils, extracts, and floral waters, with no synthetic chemicals.

My first moisturizer used cocoa butter, almond and jojoba oils, all rich, nourishing and easily absorbed by the skin. though a bit heavy going on. It became a favourite 'thank you' gift.  People liked it, and asked for more.

We like to use Little Medicine, to avoid the Big Medicine.  Respecting the plants' benefits is part of what makes these products, and there is scientific research, as well as history and lore in the use of healing herbs. Giving yourself some pampering after a long day, makes you feel special and connected.   Through all time, and in all cultures, people have enjoyed similar rituals: bathing in roses, clay facials, luscious oils and creams. A balm for the soul as well as for the skin!  Don't forget:  treating ourselves well sets a good example for others!

 Inanna Herbs is committed to ongoing research, and to sharing information with you, ensuring that our procucts are ever more nourishing and effective. We are active members of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. We hope you enjoy our website and these handmade products.  We thrive on your feedback!

* Thanks to Sarah Orlowski, master herbalist, and to Douglas College, for that first herbal medicine-making class, ten years ago, which lit this fire.
