Welcome to Mystik Willows, Plants & Things

Hello and welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Michele, and I’m a mother of two incredible kids, a lifelong maker, and someone who has always believed in the quiet magic of creating things by hand. Crafting, mixing, growing, and making have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a creative outlet slowly became a calling.

Picking Wild Violets

How This All Began

Like many parents, my journey into body care started out of necessity. My children are allergic or sensitive to so many products, and finding something gentle, effective, and trustworthy felt nearly impossible. Labels were long, ingredients were confusing, and nothing felt truly safe.

So I did what makers do—I started making my own.

I wanted products that were natural, simple, and safe enough for children, while still being deeply nourishing and supportive for adults. Every balm, salve, and lip product I create comes from that original intention: caring for the people I love most.

Healing Through Plants & a Little Witchcraft

I have always loved plants and gardening. Growing herbs, tending to them through the seasons, and watching them thrive has been deeply grounding for me. Many of the infused oils used in my products come from herbs I have personally grown, harvested, and infused with intention.

Plants have a quiet way of teaching patience, resilience, and healing—and I try to honor that in everything I make.

What’s Inside My Body Balms (and Why)

Every ingredient I use is chosen with care, purpose, and respect for the body. I believe in transparency, so here’s a closer look at some of the key ingredients and their traditional benefits:

🌼 Arnica-Infused Oil

• Traditionally used to soothe sore muscles and joints

• Often used for bruising, stiffness, and post-activity care

• A staple for people who live active or hands-on lives

🌿 Neem Oil

• Known for its cleansing and protective properties

• Traditionally used to support irritated or problem-prone skin

• Helps maintain healthy-looking skin

🌾 Herb-Infused Oils (Homegrown)

• Slowly infused to extract the plant’s beneficial properties

• Gentle, nourishing, and deeply supportive to the skin

• Each batch reflects the plants, season, and care that went into growing them

🐝 Beeswax

• Creates a natural barrier to lock in moisture

• Protects skin without clogging pores

• Adds structure while remaining breathable

🌰 Shea Butter

• Rich in vitamins A and E

• Deeply moisturizing and soothing for dry or sensitive skin

• Gentle enough for all ages

🌻 Jojoba Oil

• Closely mimics the skin’s natural oils

• Absorbs easily without feeling greasy

• Helps balance and soften the skin

🌸 Essential Oils (Used Thoughtfully)

• Added in gentle amounts

• Chosen for both aroma and skin-supportive properties

• Always used with sensitivity in mind

Made With Intention, Magic & Care

I don’t believe body care should be complicated—or harsh. I believe it should feel like ritual, like care passed down, like something made under moonlight and good intentions. My goal is to create products that feel safe, grounding, and supportive. Items you can use on yourself, your family, and trust completely.

Everything I make is:

• Small batch

• Handcrafted

• Made with intention

• Inspired by nature and real life

Looking Ahead to 2026 ✨

As I look toward 2026, I’m welcoming growth, healing, and new beginnings—both personally and for Mystik Willows, Plants & Things. This next chapter is about deeper roots, stronger magic, and honoring the rhythms of nature. I’m excited to continue learning, planting, creating, and sharing what I love with you.

Whether you’re here for gentle body care, plant magic, or simply curiosity, you are welcome here.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude, Michele
