Prairie & Flame

The barn is loud this time of year. Geese, turkeys, the occasional mystery in the garden. Somewhere between the chaos and the clover, we're still making things by hand. ✶ Prairie & Flame

There's something about that first cup — before the day asks anything of you.
First Cup started as exactly that feeling. Warm coffee, a little cocoa, vanilla bean, the quiet of early morning before everything gets loud. We pressed it into a bar.
Real finely ground coffee and colloidal oatmeal give it a gentle scrub. Oat milk melts into the lather. Shea, kokum, babassu, and olive oil do the rest — slow, rich, and unhurried.
It's available now in the shop. Link in bio.

The moment you realize your shower routine has become a full skincare ritual and you're not even a little sorry about it. 🛁✨ No regrets. Only good-smelling ones.

Just finished formulating something I'm really proud of. 🌿
A botanical cleansing water — mostly rose and chamomile hydrosol — that actually feels like something. Like a slow morning. Like your skin exhaling.
One press of a cotton pad and the day just... lifts. No stripping, no tightness. Just that dewy, just-washed feeling you want to live in.
Still in the bench-testing phase, but she's looking (and feeling) promising. ✨
Drop a 🌸 if you'd want to try this one.

Ever wonder why some sprays leave your skin feeling tight and stripped — and others feel like a second skin? It comes down to what's actually in the bottle. 🌙

We want to be transparent about every ingredient in Lunae, and today we're spotlighting one you might not recognize on the label:

Key Ingredient
Ethoxydiglycol
A gentle, skin-loving solvent that acts as a bridge between water and fragrance — keeping your spray clear, stable, and beautifully blended without harsh alcohol.

Here's what it actually does for you:

Keeps the formula crystal clear — no cloudiness, no separation
Replaces or reduces the need for drying alcohol, so your skin stays soft after every spritz
Helps the scent settle into your skin rather than just sitting on top of it
Works equally well as a room mist — no greasy residue on fabrics or surfaces
It's the quiet workhorse behind Lunae's smooth, skin-kind formula. Because a spray should feel as good as it smells. 🌕

Lunae is available now — Drop a 🌙 below if you love knowing what's in your products!

Can't decide on a candle scent? Start with a wax melt! 🌿✨ They're the perfect way to try our fragrances in your space before choosing your forever candle. Shop the collection and sniff around. 😄

Cedar + Ember
A slow-burn blend of smoldering woods and soft warmth—like standing near a cedar hearth after the fire settles into glowing coals. Cedar + Ember feels grounded and intimate, with a gentle crackle that deepens the mood and invites you to linger a little longer.

Peony + Suede
Floral, but never frilly. Fresh peony petals meet a smooth, velvety softness reminiscent of well-worn suede. Light, romantic, and modern, this candle blooms gently before melting into a calm, comforting elegance.

Rain + Stone
Crisp air, wet pavement, and the hush after a summer storm. Rain + Stone is cool, mineral, and clean—an atmospheric scent that resets your space and clears the mental clutter, carried by the soft, steady sound of a wooden wick.

Salt + Amber
Clean sea salt wrapped in golden amber warmth. Bright at first light, then softly sultry as it burns, Salt + Amber feels like sun-warmed skin and candlelit evenings—fresh edges with a cozy, glowing center.

Sage + Vetiver
Earthy, herbal, and deeply grounding. Sage brings clarity while vetiver adds a root-deep calm, creating a candle that feels steady and restorative. A quiet ritual for slowing down and coming back to center.

Cedar + Bergamot
Fresh citrus lift meets smooth, grounding woods. Bergamot brightens the room while cedar anchors it with warmth and balance. Clean, effortless, and refined—this is your everyday luxury candle, elevated by a gentle crackle and a timeless vessel.

Hope
Bright, fresh, and softly sweet. Hope blends uplifting fruit and gentle florals into a clean, joyful fragrance that feels like a fresh start. Hand-poured in soy wax for a smooth, even burn.

Grace
Warm, inviting, and beautifully layered. Grace fills the room with a comforting blend of soft fruit, subtle musk, and elegant sweetness. Rich without overpowering — simply welcoming.

Promise
Balanced and reassuring with a touch of brightness. Promise combines clean florals with smooth depth, creating a calm, steady atmosphere that feels both hopeful and grounded.

Clean ingredients. Thoughtful materials.
