How It’s Made
Every bottle of Spearmint Hand Cream begins in our Florida garden. Janice harvests fresh spearmint leaves, grown outdoors year-round in Tallahassee's subtropical climate, and slow-infuses them in organic apricot kernel and grapeseed oils for six to eight weeks. No shortcuts, no essential oil dilution: the whole leaf gives up its cooling, aromatic character directly to the oil. Once the infusion is finished, we blend it with velvety mango butter and beeswax from a local Tallahassee beekeeper, then fold in a touch of lavender essential oil for a soft, floral finish, along with a little Vitamin E to help keep the oils fresh. The formula is entirely waterless, no added water to dilute the infused oils. Each 1 oz glass bottle is filled and capped by hand in small batches, then finished with a printed label marking its batch number and infusion date. Handmade and traceable from garden to bottle.
Most "natural spearmint" hand creams are petroleum bases scented with a drop of essential oil. Here's what whole-herb infusion changes, and what to look for in a Florida-garden, small-batch formula.
If you garden with your hands in the dirt, you know what a full day outside does to your skin. A Florida herbalist on what a gardener's hand cream has to do, the routine that works, and honest picks, including several that aren't hers.
Peppermint cools sharply, spearmint is softer and sweeter, and we grow both. What each mint brings to skin, and the story of the mint bed in our Tallahassee garden.
A waterless hand cream is made with no added water, so plant oils and butters do all the work instead of a water and glycerin base. Spearmint Hand Cream is ours: spearmint from our Tallahassee garden infused whole into apricot kernel and grapeseed oils, with mango butter and beeswax, finished with lavender. It feels light, sinks in quickly, and comes in a pump bottle that fits a handbag or garden tote.
How long does a bottle of Spearmint Hand Cream last?
A little goes a long way, a thin layer is all you need. One 1oz / 28g bottle typically lasts one to two months, depending on how often you use it.
Do you really grow the herbs yourselves?
Yes, the herbs in our infusions are grown in our own Tallahassee garden and infused whole. The oils, beeswax, and essential oils that finish each formula come from trusted suppliers.
Does it contain preservatives?
No, and it does not need them. Every InVine formula is waterless. Microbes need water to grow, so there is nothing for a preservative to protect against. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that keeps the oils fresh, not a preservative. Keep the bottle closed and keep water out of it.
How should I store it?
Keep it below about 75°F and out of direct sunlight. Botanical formulas can soften in summer heat, if that happens in transit, let the bottle rest at room temperature and it will settle back down.
