From Garden to Bottle
Carmina’s journey began right on her property, surrounded by olive trees, lavender, calendula, roses, aloe, and thyme. As she cultivated her gardens, she also began creating:
- Herbal infused oils
- Face and body moisturizers
- Handmade natural soaps
- Refreshing toners and cleansers
Each formula is created in harmony with the seasons and made using locally sourced or homegrown ingredients. The emphasis is on purity, freshness, and honoring the potency of each plant.
Discover the Art of Natural Perfume
On weekends, Carmina offers natural perfume-making workshops where guests:
- Explore 100–150 essential oils
- Learn the basics of scent blending
- Create and take home their own signature perfume
These workshops are a hands-on sensory experience perfect for solo travelers, couples, or friends looking for something truly unique to do in the Yuba Foothills.
A Warm Invitation
