✦ Living Libations · Ontario, Canada ✦

Beauty, As Nature Distilled It

A libation is an offering poured out in ritual. Here, it is a few drops of botanical oil, warmed in your palms at the end of the day.

Living Libations makes pure botanical beauty: face and body oils, serums, oral care, hair and sun care, all built from organic and wildcrafted plants with nothing synthetic. Every bottle smells like the plant it came from, and using one feels less like a routine and more like a small ceremony. That is exactly why it belongs on this site.

I’m a proud Living Libations ambassador — if you order through my links, SolsTarot earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. These are products I use in my own rituals, every day.

The renegade behind it

One woman, one radically pure vision

You will not find Living Libations in a department store, and that is the point.

Living Libations is the work of Nadine Artemis, a beauty philosopher and aromacologist, and the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care. From her home base in Ontario she has spent more than twenty years building direct relationships with artisan distillers and family farms, so that what ends up in the bottle is the plant itself: organic, wildcrafted, unhurried.

It is an independent Canadian house with a clear idea of beauty: fewer ingredients, better ones, and a way of caring for yourself that feels like a ritual rather than a chore.

✦ Maude’s ritual ✦

What I actually use, and how

Three best-sellers, three moments of the day. No promises, just the way these bottles fit into a ritual.

Three of their best-sellers in face care, in the order of a day: one for the morning, one for the evening, one for the night. Nothing complicated, nothing promised, just bottles that make a small ritual feel like one.

Morning · one gestureSeabuckthorn Best Skin Ever

The bright orange oil that does the whole morning in one step: a few drops on a warm, damp cloth, a slow wipe, done. It smells like sun on citrus peel, and it is the simplest ritual in the house.

✦ The SolsTarot pairing ✦

Pairing their botanicals with your practice

A bottle can set the tone of a ritual the way a candle sets a room. Here is how I match them to the cards and the moon.

New moon · Evening · Renewal

Nourishing Nocturnal Serums

Made for the hours when the day is over. A few drops pressed into the skin, a slow breath, the lights low. It is the moment I close the day, and the scent stays with me into sleep.
