✦   From Our Partners   ✦

"I can tell that Marissa put so much love, attention and intention into creating the apothecary line. When clients come in, they are instantly drawn to the beautiful packaging and curious about my custom treatments — often peeking over, watching me mix everything together. I have been told that what I am offering is something truly unique and special, and that it makes me stand out amongst other estheticians."

A Note from Marissa

As a woman-to-woman brand, I love developing relationships and working with you to customize your offerings. You will always communicate directly with me — as I am the sole founder, operator, and formulator at Wilder North Botanicals. I touch every bottle, pack every box, and answer every message. I am dedicated to remaining a small brand, which means you will receive the care and attention that only a micro-business can give.

These five modules represent everything I believe about skin care, plants, and the practitioner's role in genuinely transforming a client's relationship with their skin. I hope they serve you well — whether you become a partner or simply leave knowing something you didn't before.
