Where Every Ingredient Begins
Star Ingredients
The Ingredients We're Most Proud Of
Hero Ingredient
Rosehip
Our single most prized ingredient — grown in rows along the east fence of the garden. Rosehip is nature’s most potent source of Vitamin C, loaded with antioxidants that fight free radicals, fade dark spots, and firm skin naturally. Maris harvests every hip by hand in late autumn when they reach peak ripeness.
✦ Brightens and evens skin tone
✦ Fades scars and hyperpigmentation
✦ Deeply hydrates without clogging pores
✦ Rich in Vitamins A, C, and E
- Found in: Rosehip Glow Serum · Face & Body Oil · Body Butter
Lavender
Planted in long purple rows that fill the garden with the most calming scent every June. Maris uses both the flowers and the essential oil distilled from her harvest. Lavender is scientifically proven to reduce cortisol levels, calm inflammation, and promote deep sleep. In skincare, it soothes redness, balances oil production, and speeds healing.
✦ Calms nervous system and reduces stress
✦ Soothes inflamed and sensitive skin
✦ Natural antibacterial and antifungal
✦ Promotes deep, restful sleep
- Found in: Body Butter · Bath Soak · Herbal Tea · Intention Candles
Herbs & Botanicals
Garden-Grown Herbs & Botanicals

Jojoba Oil
Rosmarinus officinalis
Technically a liquid wax, jojoba is the closest thing in nature to human sebum. It regulates oil production, never goes rancid, and acts as the perfect carrier for all of our botanical extracts.

✦ Never clogs pores
✦ Natural shelf-stable preservative
- Crystal Perfumes · Face Oil · Hair Oil
Grass-Fed Tallow
Rendered beef fat — Bos taurus
The most ancestral skincare ingredient of all. Grass-fed tallow shares nearly identical fatty acid ratios to human skin — making it the most biocompatible moisturizer that exists. Maris sources hers from local regenerative farms.
✦ Identical lipid profile to human skin
✦ Deeply repairs the skin barrier
✦ Anti-aging and anti-inflammatory
- Tallow Face Cream · Baby Salve · Body Butter
What You Will Never Find in Our Products
We started Bodhi Tree Gardens because we couldn’t find products clean enough for Bodhi. So we made them ourselves. Here is our promise — a list of everything we permanently ban from every single product we make.
Parabens
Synthetic preservatives linked to hormone disruption and breast cancer research.
Synthetic Fragrance
A catch-all term hiding up to 3,000 undisclosed chemicals. We use only pure essential oils.
Oxybenzone
A chemical sunscreen ingredient that becomes toxic when exposed to sunlight. This is what started it all.
Sulfates (SLS/SLES)
Harsh detergents that strip your skin's natural protective barrier and cause long-term dryness.
Phthalates
Plasticizers used to make fragrance last longer. Linked to reproductive harm and developmental issues in children.
Petroleum Derivatives
Mineral oil, petrolatum, and paraffin create a film that suffocates skin and disrupts natural cell function.
“If we wouldn’t put it on Bodhi, we won’t put it in the bottle.”
