JTG #69 Farm To Skin Skincare With Aviva Skye Tilson Founder Apis Apotheca
*Special announcement about the podcast*
Hi, I’m Caroline Dalia Kaliani, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Herbal Medicine Mama & formulator of a botanical skincare line for rosacea.
A few years ago, I launched this free educational platform called Journey to Glow.
The goal? To explore natural, holistic and effective solutions for skin “issues”.
In my quest to share the effectiveness of natural medicine, I interviewed over 75+ holistic skin experts (Functional Medicine Practitioners, Naturopathic NDs, Holistic Nutritionists, Integrative Dermatologists, and Ayurvedic doctors…) as well as dozens of womxn who fully healed rosacea.
The Journey To Glow podcast reached over 100,000 listeners and received hundreds of 5 stars reviews in 30 different countries. But the best part? Were the weekly emails from listeners and readers who shared they have regained hope that they could heal their skin!
Mission accomplished!
After years of making the episodes available for free on mainstream podcast platforms, we are now rethinking how we want this information to be accessed.
If you’d like to be notified of the next steps, sign up for the Glowletter at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for listening and for being on the journey with us!
JTG #69 Farm To Skin Skincare With Aviva Skye Tilson Founder Apis Apotheca
In this episode, I talk to Aviva Skye Tilson, the creator of a farm-to-bottle skincare line called Apis Apotheca.
About my guest:
Aviva Skye Tilson, the creator of Apis Apotheca, comes from a background in biodynamic and organic farming and is a certified community herbalist.
Aviva has spent a decade healing herself through working with plants and animals and has always had an obsession with skincare. Through much trial and error, her skincare line represents her combined years of field experience, academic research, endless experimentation and provides the highest quality, most effective whole-plant based skincare available.
Her products can be used by people of all skin types, and are especially safe for acne and eczema-prone skin. Her simple, botanically infused line targets the 5 main concerns challenging blemish-prone, (and therefore barrier damaged) skin: unbalanced skin microbiome, excess sebum oxidation, irregular desquamation, chronic inflammation, and inefficient wound healing.
Her new farm in New York’s stunning Hudson Valley is high on a hill facing the Catskill Mountains, with deep, mineral-rich, loamy soil that supports trillions of healthy micro-organisms in balance. This healthy soil grows healthy plants, 100% organically. They grow 98% of the plants used in her formulas which ensures freshness and potency.
Aviva’s lab is steps away from her farm fields, which enables her to capture the potency of the plants they grow to the fullest.
