YBP

This is exactly why the quality of natural ingredients matters. Where they come from. How they were grown. How they were harvested. And who is taking care of them. All of it matters. This is also why many products labeled “natural” don’t actually work, the ingredients are often just words on the label. Because if you truly used pure, clean hibiscus on your skin every day, there is simply no way your skin wouldn’t glow. Sometimes I wonder how to even explain this work the patience, the trust, the respect for the plants. I’m just deeply grateful that I get to do this with @yarrowayfarm . We found each other, we understand the work, and we move at the pace nature requires, without rushing and without compromising. 🌱💚 #ingredientsfromsoiltobottle

When I first began formulating skincare, calendula was the very first plant I studied in herbal school. Because skincare and nature… and calendula… go hand in hand. And first let’s clear this up. Calendula is not marigold. In India, people often confuse the two. Marigolds are mostly ornamental used for decoration, festivals, aesthetics. Calendula officinalis is medicinal. Deeply medicinal. The petals alone carry powerful skin-healing compounds. If you simply steep the flowers in water and use that infusion in your child’s bath, it soothes. If you infuse the whole flower in oil for a week, that oil becomes liquid gold. That’s real medicine. Most calendula salves in the market use small amounts of extract and then add essential oils for fragrance. We don’t. We slow-infuse the whole flower into oil. No essential oils. No shortcuts. Because true plant medicine isn’t about scent. It’s about what the plant can actually do. And that’s why when you use a properly made calendula salve… you see the difference on your skin. 💛

It’s been a full-circle kind of decade at YBP Skin. Years of growing, learning, refining, and returning to what matters most: THE SOURCE. Our relationship with Anjali and @yarrowayfarm has been part of that journey for many years now. What began as sourcing has slowly evolved into something much deeper, a partnership built on trust, shared values, and a mutual respect for the plants we work with. Visiting her farm this year and finally showing you the fields, the soil, the harvesting, it meant more than just filming content. For a long time, I never wanted to turn this work into visuals for Instagram. It felt too sacred, too personal. But as our relationship strengthened, Anjali knew I wasn’t there just to capture footage. I was there because this work is the foundation of YBP. Working directly with farms has always been my passion. Nearly 80% of our natural ingredients come first-hand from farms like Yarrow. Grown, harvested, and handled with intention. The remaining ingredients come through trusted mediators we’ve worked with for years. People who make it possible to access materials that simply cannot be sourced directly. Those relationships matter just as much. Ingredients have always been my priority. They are the beginning of everything we create. I’m deeply grateful for Anjali, not just for growing these plants for YBP, but for the friendship, the shared commitment, and the quiet integrity behind it all. 🌱💚 With love, Payal

Sometimes you don’t realize how badly you need rest until you finally slow down. A weekend with my girlfriends at Milk and Honey Ranch no rushing, no schedules, no constant chaos… just nature, long conversations, good food, wine, skincare, and being present with each other. As moms, we spend so much time taking care of everyone else that we forget how important it is to refill ourselves too. Also watching my friends obsess over YBP products and secretly catching them doing their nighttime skincare routine made me irrationally happy 😭🤍 I hope all you moms had a great Mother’s Day Weekend! 🥰🤗

A skincare staple for dry, sensitive skin: YBP Skin Calendula Healing Salve A favorite for barrier supportive skincare. And thank you for loving and understanding our products enough to notice that no two batches are ever exactly the same. ❤️ This recent batch of Calendula Salve is unbelievably bright, rich, and extra gooey because the calendula flowers this season were just incredible. The flowers were grown again in deeply nourished soil and produced the juiciest vibrant orange blooms with so much resin and richness naturally inside them. That’s the beauty of working with real plants. Climate changes them. Soil changes them. Harvest changes them. Real botanical skincare is living skincare. 🌼

Pregnancy and postpartum changed my skin completely. My rosacea was flaring up, my skin felt inflamed, reactive, and honestly the worst it had ever been. What truly helped me heal was patience and focusing on my body from inside out instead of trying to aggressively “fix” my skin. I completely changed how I ate.I removed processed and pre-packaged foods as much as possible, focused on fresh nourishing meals, hot soups, herbal teas and infusions, and became consistent with my supplements. Herbs truly helped my body and gut heal faster than anything else. I removed synthetic fragrance from everything possible.Skincare, haircare, laundry, home products. It all adds up and during postpartum my body became extra sensitive to it. I focused on nourishing instead of overdoing skincare.Gentle massages, barrier support, hydration, and being extremely gentle with my skin helped so much. Calendula Healing Salve and Hydrating Serum Mist became my daily staples throughout postpartum. Healing takes time, but your body knows how to come back when you support it gently.

Motherhood changes through every season, but one thing always remains the same: the quiet love poured into everyone around them❤️ This Mother’s Day, we wanted to celebrate those little rituals of care the moments where moms choose softness for themselves too✨. A calming mist after a long day, a nourishing salve for tired skin, a few drops of comfort before bed. Because they deserve care that feels just as comforting as the love they give. 🌼
