What We're Taking to Stagecoach (And Why You Might Want It Too)

This Week at the Apothecary: Prepping for Stagecoach

This week we're gearing up for Stagecoach, and it's the perfect opportunity to field test a few new product ideas we've been working on behind the scenes. If they pass the test, you just might see them in our TwoMorrows Apothecary lineup soon. 

Here's what we're taking (and why it matters):

1. Tallow + Magnesium Deodorant

Made with just six ingredients, including grass-fed tallow & magnesium, this natural deodorant is already proving itself at home - but we're putting it to the ultimate sweat test in the desert heat. No baking soda, no irritation, no synthetic fragrance - just clean, effective odor control. 

2. Mineral Tallow Sunscreen (Test Batch)

We also whipped up a mineral sunscreen with non-nano zinc and nourishing tallow to see how it holds up under the sun. We're aiming for something that's not greasy, reef-safe, and ready just in time for summer. Stay tuned for updates. 

In Honor of Earth Day: Reuse Those Jars

If you're anything like me, you probably have a shelf (or five) full of perfectly good empty jars you just can't toss. One of the ways I reuse them is for homemade dry shampoo - which I'm also bringing with me to Stagecoach.

Dry Shampoo is a lifesaver when you're on the go, and this version is simple, all-natural, and customizable to your hair type. Try this recipe: 

For Dark Hair: 2 tbsp. Kaolin Clay 1 tbsp. Cocao Powder (unsweetened) 1 tbsp. Arrowroot Powder or Organic Cornstarch 2-3 drops of essential oil

For Light Hair:  2 tbsp Kaolin Clay 2 tbsp Arrowroot Powder or Organic Cornstarch 2-3 drops of essential oil

How to Use: Mix ingredients and store in a small jar (our 2oz balm jars are perfect). Apply to roots using a clean makeup brush (or your hands), let sit for a minute, then brush or shake out excess. Adds Volume, absorbs oil, and leaves hair smelling fresh.  Let us know if you try it - we'd love to hear your feedback. Who knows? Maybe it'll earn a permanent spot in our lineup.

Stay Cool, Stay Nourished: Our Festival Hydration Routine

Festivals are fun but also dehydrating - especially in full sun and dry air. Hydration is key, and we go beyond just water. Here's our go-to routine: 

• Hydrogen Water: We use a portable hydrogen water bottle that infuses H2 into water in about 10 minutes. Molecular hydrogen is known for reducing oxidative stress, boosting energy, and supporting overall wellness.
• Baja Gold Sea Salt: We add a pinch of this unrefined sea salt to our water for trace minerals and better absorption. It's a small shift that makes a big difference - especially when you're sweating in the heat. 
  

Wrapping it Up

We're excited to take these wellness tools and test products on the road. Whether you're heading to a festival or just enjoying some time at home, we hope this inspires you to stay nourished, stay hydrated, and maybe even try something new (like that dry shampoo). 

Wishing you nourished, radiant skin and many beautiful tomorrows.
