The Forest Heals: How Rose Hips and Calendula Soothe Sensitive, Aging Skin
At The Cedar Nook, skincare doesn’t begin in a lab — it begins in the forest. Each season, our founder Sarah walks the quiet woods of Ontario, foraging with intention. She gathers medicinal plants such as goldenrod, red clover, and wintergreen. A favourite is wild rosehips after the first frost, when they’re richest in nutrients. She dries calendula blossoms by hand, preserving their golden vibrancy. These plants, growing close to home, carry a kind of medicine that can’t be replicated. Our philosophy is simple: the plants that grow near us are often the ones we need most. That’s the magic of wildcrafted skincare — and the heart of our products. 🌿 Why Your Skin Craves Wildcrafted Ingredients Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, we all experience: Redness that flares with the seasons Dryness that no cream seems to quench Skin that’s becoming more reactive with age …you’re not alone. And you don’t need harsh actives or synthetic fillers to find relief. Nature already has the answer. 🌹 Meet Your Skin’s New Favourite Ritual: Rose Hip & Calendula Face Serum This small-batch serum was designed specifically for all skin types.

The rosehips in this serum were gathered in the forests of Ontario, clipped gently from wild shrubs growing under the autumn sky. No pesticides. No middlemen. Just plant and person, in respectful relationship. “There’s a quiet kind of wisdom in these plants,” Sarah says. “They’ve survived droughts, wind, and ice — and still offer softness. That’s the kind of strength I want to pass on through this serum.” ✨ How to Use It: Apply 2-3 drops to clean, damp skin (morning or evening) Press gently into your face and neck Breathe deeply — you’re in the forest now Pairs beautifully with our Moisturizing Meadow Oil or worn under makeup for a smooth, hydrated glow.
