Real Ingredients. Real Benefits. Real Nourishment.
At Flower & Bone Supply, we don’t just pick pretty herbs and oils because they sound good on a label. We formulate with intention—using food-grade, anti-inflammatory ingredients that are proven to calm, soothe, and support sensitive, reactive skin. Everything we use is something your body already knows what to do with. No synthetics, no junk fillers, and absolutely no “plant-based” perfumes hiding under the term fragrance. If we can’t put it in our mouths, we don’t put it on your face. Simple as that. ✨ A Few of Our Favorite Functional Ingredients: 🟡 Jojoba Oil (Infused with Rose Petals & Rosehips) Mimics your skin’s natural sebum, making it ultra-balancing and non-comedogenic. We slow-infuse it with dried rose petals and rosehips for their natural vitamin C content and skin-calming polyphenols.→ Think: soft, supple, never greasy. 🟠 Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil Rich in omega-7 (a fatty acid that promotes skin regeneration) and loaded with antioxidants like beta carotene. Helps with redness, roughness, and strengthening your skin barrier.→ Think: healing glow without irritation. 🌼 Calendula A powerhouse anti-inflammatory. Used for centuries to calm eczema, soothe rashes, and speed skin recovery. Ours is solar-infused for maximum potency.→ Think: your skin’s favorite chill pill. 🌿 Chamomile Gentle enough for babies, strong enough to fight inflammation. It helps reduce redness, irritation, and itch—especially for sensitive or hormonal skin.→ Think: instant calm, in botanical form. 💧 Castor Oil Deep-cleansing, naturally antibacterial, and excellent for oil cleansing. It breaks up buildup without stripping your skin’s natural barrier.→ Think: clean pores, zero drama. 🪵 Tallow (Grass-Fed + Rendered by Hand) Nutrient-rich and deeply reparative, tallow is loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K. It closely mirrors our skin’s own fatty acid profile, making it ultra-soothing and barrier-repairing.→ Think: ancestral wisdom meets modern skin needs. 🔬 We’re Not Just Inspired by Nature—We’re Grounded in Science. Each ingredient we use is either supported by traditional herbalism and/or modern clinical research. We choose them because they work—not because they’re trendy. Many of our herbs and oils have been studied for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-restorative properties. We link to research in our blog if you want to nerd out—no gatekeeping here. 💛 No Fillers. No Fluff. Just Functional. We don’t dilute. We don’t scent for “vibe.” We use essential oils sparingly and only when they serve a therapeutic purpose—never just for smell. Every ingredient has a job to do. So whether you’re dealing with dermatitis, eczema, hormonal breakouts, or dry, confused skin, you can trust what you’re putting on your face is pure, effective, and safe enough to eat. (But please… don’t. It’s still skincare.) 👉 Want to See Our Ingredients in Action? Shop our collection

What Is Food-Based Skincare (and Why It’s the Future)
TL;DR: It’s not just a trend—it’s a return to common sense. Skincare made with real, recognizable, edible ingredients your body already knows what to do with. Less irritation. More nourishment. Better results. ✨ What Is Food-Based Skincare, Anyway? Food-based skincare is exactly what it sounds like: skincare formulated with ingredients you’d find in your kitchen—not a chemistry lab. Think avocado oil, chamomile, rose petals, oats, tallow, calendula, mint, honey… not dimethicone, fragrance #428, or “proprietary polymers.” If you can't pronounce it (or eat it), it doesn't belong on your face. At Flower & Bone Supply, we treat skin like what it is: a living, breathing organ. And just like every other part of your body, it thrives on real nourishment—especially when it’s inflamed, reactive, or confused by conventional products. 🍽️ Why It Works (Especially for Sensitive Skin) Here’s the deal: your skin has its own microbiome, barrier, and immune response. Bombarding it with synthetic ingredients, stripping cleansers, and irritating preservatives? It’s like eating fast food every day and wondering why you feel like trash. Food-grade ingredients are: 🌿 Biocompatible – your skin recognizes them 💧 Nutrient-dense – rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants 🔥 Anti-inflammatory – calming for eczema, rosacea, and reactive skin 💪 Supportive of your skin barrier – not disruptive In short: they don’t just sit on your skin. They support it. 🧠 But Is It Effective? Spoiler: YES. Food-based doesn’t mean fluffy. Our formulas are backed by science, chosen for their clinical and traditional efficacy. Calendula has been shown to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Jojoba mimics your skin’s natural sebum. Chamomile is as calming to your skin as it is to your nervous system. We don’t just guess. We combine ancient herbal wisdom with modern research and formulate with purpose, not just Pinterest vibes. 👀 Why You’re Seeing It Everywhere Now People are tired. Tired of 12-step routines. Tired of being gaslit by “clean” brands. Tired of buying $98 creams that make their face freak out. Food-based skincare is rising because it works, it’s rooted in trust, and it brings skincare back to basics—without sacrificing results. It's not about perfection; it's about support. And honestly? That’s what most skin needs. 💛 Why We Do It at Flower & Bone Supply We’re nutritionist-formulated, herbalist-informed, and chef-crafted. Every product is made with the same integrity as a home-cooked meal—because your skin deserves that level of care. So no, you don’t need a serum made with six lab-synthesized peptides and a scroll of preservatives. You need something that nourishes deeply, respects your skin’s natural intelligence, and makes you feel cared for. We don’t just make skincare. We make nourishment. 👉 Ready to try food-based skincare?
