Why a Library?

Over fifteen years ago, I found myself walking a sun-scorched trail in Austin, Texas, at the height of summer. Along the way, I noticed plants that, despite appearing stressed, had clearly adapted to survive the relentless Texas heat and drought. This sparked my curiosity, leading me into a world dedicated to understanding and cherishing these resilient plants. It became my mission to protect and preserve them.

With The Library, my goal is to craft the finest soaps, salves, and lip balms while sharing knowledge about the remarkable plants I encounter and use in my process. As my product line grows, so will my research and content, offering insights into the properties, history, and beauty of these natural ingredients. I hope you'll not only enjoy shopping but also learning more about the wonders of the natural world.
