I had the pleasure of taking photos of herbalist Lauren Raba of Catskill Botanicals for Artists and Makers of The Gatehouse. Seeing how she transforms her wild harvested plants through oil-based infusions into face and body creams was so cool. My current favorite is her Carrot Seed Eye Cream but I have loved everything I have tried, especially the Birch Daytime Cream made with birch bark and chaga from that first photo 🖤
