Lemon Balm Hydrosol Sample

Maison/Made partnered with the premier carbon accounting firm, Carbon Calories, to calculate how our products fit into your Daily Carbon Quota, to give you the power of knowing how “carbon efficient” our products are. This is next-level transparency.

The Carbon Statements above are reviewed in meticulous detail from seed to bottle - from how much fuel the tractor uses, to the energy that is used to store the products, to the materials (ie glass, plastic, cardboard, etc) that make up the packaging, and the carbon these elements consumed in their manufacturing. Everything is analyzed by Carbon Calories with a fine-toothed comb to ensure that the Carbon Statement is accurate.

This work gives you an idea how much of your carbon footprint you’re using with each spritz of our hydrosols. We hope that many many more companies decide to join us, and help make the future a better place for us all to inhabit.

Biodynamic agriculture is the traditional approach to farming that goes beyond organic to grow in the most sustainable, symbiotic manner possible. Its techniques work in harmony with Nature instead of exploiting it. Doing so produces the most nutrient dense, vibrant plants that are considered the highest quality in the world.

We chose to grow our own plants biodynamically, use Biodynamic ingredients, and acquire the certification because we believe the history of Biodynamics should also be our future.

Our herb garden is focused on plants that have remarkable properties specific to skincare. Biodynamics shows us that those plants that nourish the skin, also happen to nourish the soil. There is a certain symbiotic harmony here: vitality nurturing vitality.

Following the Biodynamic standards of agriculture has enabled us to grow significantly from our first little patch of calendula, despite significant weather-related challenges, for which we are grateful, as it strengthened our resolve and required us to lean significantly on our familial gardening secrets, cultivated over centuries of tending to our land.

For each product in the Maison Collection we develop a customized extraction blend employing our proprietary Complexe du Jardin™ method. This specific method meticulously saturates an oil with the nourishing medicinal properties of the plants we grow in our jardin following the Biodynamic® principles. As we grow each plant exclusively for each product, each extract is a targeted synergy of botanicals that addresses the desired actions of the product. This is why there are different herbs in our Extrait de Maison than in our Rituel de Maison.
