Nature-Based

“We believe that the term nature-based ingredients is super important…everything that we make comes from the earth”

Making their products form start to finish inspires Life Elements. From sourcing high quality ingredients (such as local honey, tepezcohuite and organically grown hemp), working with those famers to grow and create what will go into the final products, to pouring and mixing and packaging those products. Life Elements is involved from start to finish – creating small-batched items that are truly hand-crafted in SLO CAL.

Many of the ingredients going into these skin and body products are grown right here in San Luis Obispo County. Life Elements products are made from the best plant-derived ingredients available, which means working closely with members of the SLO County Farm Trail. Here the locally grown becomes locally made.
