Behind the Botanicals

As Thalia mentioned in an earlier reel, this week we’re taking a closer look at Immortelle, now beautifully dried in our drying shed at Janesce’s farm in the Adelaide Hills. Its soft yellow blooms are now ready to be made into tinctures.

Immortelle contains naturally occurring antioxidants and has a long history of traditional use in skincare, making it a treasured botanical.

Known for helping maintain a smooth, healthy looking complexion, you’ll find Immortelle in our Suncare Lotion 🌿

Behind the Botanicals

Join Thalia, our Janesce herbalist, naturopath and beauty therapist, every week as she shares the stories behind our beautiful herbs and their place in the Janesce story.

Today, from the drying shed at Claret Ash Farm in the Adelaide Hills, Thalia shines a light on one of our important dried herbs: Marshmallow.

Marshmallow is a demulcent, valued for its naturally softening properties. It features in many of our tincture blends and plays an important role in supporting our Phyto Nutri-forte™ process.

Every herb has a story to tell.

There’s so much that happens behind the scenes before our herbs become Janesce skincare.

Join Simon, our Farm Manager and Thalia, our herbalist, beauty therapy trainer and naturopath, inside the drying shed at Claret Ash Farm in the Adelaide Hills as they talk us through how we prepare our herbs for the next stage of their journey.

From the traditional drying racks to our drying machine, Simon shares how we carefully dry herbs such as Immortelle and Marshmallow, ready for the slow process that follows.

Once dried, the herbs move into our Phyto Nutri-forte™ process, which is how we create the botanical tinctures that go into the skincare we love and use every day.

We’re so proud to share that three Janesce favourites have been recognised in the prestigious Clean + Conscious Awards 2026 for Australia and New Zealand, achieving Gold and Silver across
multiple categories. ⁠⁠

Our Honey + Bloom Cleansing Milk was awarded Gold, our Silken Eye Cream Silver and our Desert Bloom Lotion achieved Silver in the Over 40s Skincare category, along with an Editor’s Choice award.

This recognition means so much to us. The Clean + Conscious Awards look beyond performance, independently assessing products across ingredients, sustainability, ethical practices and social impact before they are reviewed by a Panel of Experts.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Clean + Conscious Awards and their wonderful panel of experts and to our wonderful supportive community.

A moment at Claret Ash Farm with Jan, the founder of Janesce and Thalia, our Janesce herbalist, naturopath and beauty therapist, standing beside the bright golden blooms of Calendula, carefully dried in our drying shed.

As Jan explains, there is something very special about the soil that helps these beautiful flowers develop such a vibrant colour. It’s a reminder that what happens beneath the surface is just as important as what we see above it.

Healthy soil is at the heart of how we grow our herbs and handmake our skincare here at Claret Ash Farm 🌼
