Our story

A QUEST TO DISCOVER THE MANY BENEFITS OF BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS

I have been studying Chinese medicine all my life. Years ago, I noticed there was NO Chinese medicinal soap available in America.

"How strange!" I thought.

After years of research and countless hours spent perfecting formulations, my team and I finally arrived at the best Chinese herbs to revitalize, nourish and heal the skin.

OUR NAME

It was during this exploration that I discovered the Běncǎo Gangmu《本草纲目》, a comprehensive list of herbs and their uses compiled during the Ming dynasty. This text, with its detailed descriptions and remedies, revolutionized my approach to soap making. Inspired by this ancient wisdom. I founded Běncǎo Herbalist. Běncǎo《本草》, pronounced Ben-choh, means "Roots and Herbs" in Chinese. It perfectly caputres our commitment to making natural products rooted in Chinese herbology. Driven by a commitment to sustainability and ethnical sourcing, we hand-select the finest organic herbs, ensuring their purity and potency...All for you. Each product is lovingly handcrafted in small batches, cold-processed, and cured for 4-6 weeks - infusing every creation with our utmost care and intention.
