Philosophy

 

Black Creek Botanicals is rooted in a desire to create with care, intention, and reverence. This philosophy has evolved slowly over time—from the first version of this business to its quiet rebirth in the French countryside—and continues to shape everything made, gathered, and shared here.

In the time between the first incarnation of the shop and moving to France, there was space to reflect and realign. That pause made it possible to return to the core values that guide this work: environmental sustainability, conscious consumerism, cultural awareness, truly natural ingredients of the highest quality, and sourcing that is local, ethical, and respectful. While there’s been a great deal of thought and effort put into making this business as sustainable as possible, the process is ongoing, and always evolving.

Herbal Skincare

Formulations are guided by traditional herbal knowledge and made in small batches using plants gathered from the wilds of Provence and the southern French Alps. Each blend is meant to nourish both skin and spirit, honoring the medicinal strength of familiar European plants and encouraging a gentle ritual of self-nurturing.

Ingredients are always organic, pesticide-free, biodynamic, local, and/or respectfully wild-gathered. Nearly every material is sourced within Europe—many even closer.

This connection to the land runs deep–it's even part of the name! Discover the meaning behind the name Black Creek Botanicals.

Linen Goods

Linen is chosen with intention—for its softness, durability, and environmental integrity. Made from the flax plant, it thrives without pesticides, in poor soil, and often without irrigation. The entire plant can be used, and the fabric is fully biodegradable.

Garments and home goods are made with 100% European linen. Breathable, hypoallergenic, and thermo-regulating, linen adapts to the seasons and softens beautifully over time. With care and mending, it can last a lifetime before returning to the earth.

Spirit Guardians & Seasonal Offerings

The Spirit Guardians, ritual kits, and seasonal collections are a quiet invitation to connect more deeply—with nature, with rhythm, with story. Each is designed with the same care and intention as the rest of the offerings, made to honor beauty, imagination, and the quiet magic of everyday life.
