Rooted in quality, driven by purpose
Early Root Living began with something I’ve always loved: making things from scratch.
Long before I ever thought about herbs, ingredients, or creating products, I was the kind of kid who liked to figure things out. I wanted my hair straight, so I found a way to straighten it. I wanted curls, so I figured that out too. I turned whatever was around me—mayo, avocado, olive oil—into hair treatments and experimented with what I had.
That curiosity never left me.
Years later, as an adult, I found myself coming back to that same way of thinking. If I couldn’t find something I liked, I started making my own. I began learning about ingredients, experimenting with simple formulas, adjusting, remaking, and figuring out what worked for me. Some things worked right away, some definitely didn’t, but each one brought me closer to what I was looking for: simple products, made from ingredients I felt good about, that actually worked.
Today, that same process happens in my small apartment, on a dining room island from IKEA that didn’t come with the place, but somehow became the center of it all.
This is where Early Root Living is made.
I create small-batch deodorants, body butters, salves, teas, and other everyday wellness goods using ingredients I’ve come to love—tallow, honey, shea, herbs, oils, and more. I’m constantly learning, testing, and refining, not because I want to make things complicated, but because I want to understand what I’m using and why.
I’m not an expert, and I’m not trying to be. I’m simply someone who has always been curious, resourceful, and willing to try making something myself.
Early Root Living is an extension of that.
Everything is handcrafted, made in small batches, and created with care. But more than that, it’s about sharing the things I make when they genuinely work for me—especially when I think someone else might have been looking for that same thing.
Because I love making these products.
But I love knowing they might make someone else’s everyday a little better even more.
