The Charm Of Raw Ingredients: Why Your Products May Look Different Each Time!

Some weeks feel endless and this was definitely one of them. 

But at least you had one small thing to look forward to — 

Your package from Wildcrafted Beauty was finally arriving tomorrow!

This isn’t your first order—- 

You have been slowly building your dream dread set. 

Spending big chunks of money on yourself is something you find so hard to do, so as a way of practicing self love and breaking that barrier you have been making gradual purchases of our synthetic dreadlocks. 

It works and that way you also have something to constantly look forward to! 

And it has finally arrived! You could not handle the excitement, they looked so gorgeous.

 You quickly put them aside to have them detoxed later today. 

Quickly reaching out for your crown nectar glass bottle— you could not wait to moisturize your dreads because they have just been so frizzy ever since you ran out a week ago.  

But wait— something looks off. 

Your crown nectar looks a bit different this time around. You quickly smell it to see if it still has the same scent and your senses are calmed almost instantly, it smells and feels the exact same! 

You can’t help but wonder— is the product as effective as it used to be? Is something off? Should you tell someone?

Without hesitation, you jump into our facebook group where women post daily about their dreadlocks, care routines and packages to voice your concern wondering if anyone else was going to relate and right as your post went up you sighed in relief as the comments started rolling in— you were not alone! 

"Has anyone else noticed their Crown Nectar looks a bit different this time around? I’ve been ordering refills for a while now, and the color and texture aren't quite the same as last month. Is that normal?"

It’s something we’ve heard a few times, so let’s dive into why this happens and why it’s actually a good thing.

Conventional Products vs. Wildcrafted Beauty

This is how conventional products look before they end up on your skin:

And this is what Wildcrafted Beauty’s products look like before they end up on your skin:

You might be wondering, okay but why would BIG companies still be using synthetic chemicals in their products? Well, the answer is because- 

1. they are cheap, 
2. faster to produce
3. adds volume to the products, 
4. increases the shelf life of the products and 
5. provides a uniform look & texture to the products.

We get it—seeing your product look a little different each time can be surprising, especially when you’re used to everything being the same with other brands. 

But those differences? That’s how you know our products are the real deal. They’re made with raw, natural ingredients that change with the seasons, just like the plants they come from.

At Wildcrafted Beauty, Our founder, Berlin, understood something that changed her perspective and vision pretty early on— 

Our skin has a fantastic ability to absorb whatever we put on it, 

So adding chemicals to our skin didn’t feel right. At all. 

Which is why she made the decision that our products are going to be made in-house using raw, unbleached, and unaltered ingredients. And it shouldn’t be a surprise, really. She had been through A LOT which she shares in depth on her email list 

You’ll hear it all: from severe cystic acne, painful allergic reactions to hair dyes, and other health challenges like PCOS left her searching for answers. 

After years of frustration, she took matters into her own hands and started educating herself about holistic health restoration and clinical aromatherapy and even got certified in them.

She decided we were going to make products that are true to the plants they come from— which leads to something pretty special and unique.

Just like no two flowers are exactly alike, no two batches of our products will be either.

Why the Difference is a Good Thing

When you see a slight variation in color or texture, it’s actually a sign of purity. For example, the rich tones of our serums or the depth of the oils might change depending on the season or region the plants are harvested from. 

The plants are alive, and their essence is alive in our products! 

Here’s what to expect with some of our key ingredients:

• Myrrh Oil: If you notice tiny flakes in your serum, that’s not a mistake—it’s myrrh oil, known for its rich, resin-like texture. It’s heavier, giving your skin that deeper nourishment, and pairs beautifully with the sweetness of vanilla.
• Vanilla: Sometimes the vanilla we use can darken over time. Its natural color comes from the raw, unprocessed beans we use, meaning no two batches are exactly the same, but the scent and benefits remain as sweet as ever.
• Aritha (Soapnut): If you’ve tried our dreadlock shampoo bar, you may have noticed variations in their color too. That’s because we use aritha, a natural cleanser derived from soapnuts. It’s fantastic for the scalp and hair, but since we don’t bleach or alter it, each batch retains its natural differences.
• Rosemary Essential Oil: in our  Cooling Veil is powerful in promoting hair growth and scalp health. It stimulates the hair follicles, helping to prevent hair thinning and shedding. Its antimicrobial properties help reduce dandruff and flaking, while its anti-inflammatory effects soothe an irritated scalp, making it a must-have for scalp care!

A Little Shake Goes a Long Way

You may also notice some ingredients sinking to the bottom of your bottle. This is perfectly normal! With natural ingredients, heavier elements can settle, so we recommend shaking your products before use to redistribute the goodness! Because we do not add any preservatives to our products, we always recommend using them within 90 days of getting them!

We know it can be surprising to see slight changes when you're used to uniformity in other products, but this variation is proof of the purity and authenticity behind Wildcrafted Beauty. Each bottle reflects nature's uniqueness, not a lab's precision. That's the magic of raw, living ingredients working in harmony with your skin.

If you're still unsure, don't just take our word for it—see what our loyal customers have to say!

Let’s admit it: your skin does a lot for you: it’s your first line of defense, your introduction to the world, and it communicates with your whole body. It’s the largest organ, and everything you put on it has an impact. From the food you eat to the clothes you wear and the products you use, your skin is constantly interacting with the world around you.

So naturally, you hold a big responsibility over yourself and have a lot of choices to make it healthy every single day!
