Behind the Scenes at Anato

Posted by team anato on December 08, 2021

Behind the Scenes at Anato Forest to Face® Skincare. Our amazing postman!

Handling fine powders (like zinc oxide) over extended periods of time requires wearing a respirator.

2019 tree balm testing with various tree based waxes.All tins are numbered and tested over one year to monitor consistency over time and with temperature fluctuations

Sometimes we get so busy we recruit friends to help! Small hands require small tools.

Much of the studio work is fun: marveling at our containers and sniffing cacao butter.

Balms are hand poured...and sometimes it gets messy.

We use locally harvested charcoal in our Black Cedar Soap, harvested from Santa Cruz, California, USA.

Every bar of the black cedar soap is handmade!

Sunblock making is one of my favorite activities, it's as if eating chocolate cake all afternoon. But handling annatto can seem a little eerie!

We do a lot of troubleshooting: catching screen printing errors, wiping down oily bottles and dusting kelp mask bottles.

My studio work often reminds me of high school chemistry class...but with a prettier apron!

Formulating, testing and handing out mini testers is a big part of what Céline Jennison does.

our packing material is #PLASTICFREE and we hand stamp all of our boxes!
