Have you tried Monastery? Founder Athena Hewett first fell in love with aromatherapy and natural skincare while visiting her grandmother in Greece. Her grandma would press her own oils and use them to make holistic skin tonics. After a decade working in skincare, Athena realized that technology had not improved on her grandmother’s recipes, so she opened her own skincare studio and eventually developed a line of natural products. (Caroline uses Attar as her go-to moisturizer every day and is absolutely obsessed with it.)
Their botanical skincare line is made in small batches at Monastery’s San Francisco studio, using only the finest plant oils and absolutes. Every product in their limited range, from their gentle cleansing oil to the most incredible serum, is specifically designed to purify and help heal skin.
The result is gentle but incredibly effective skincare that leaves your skin looking and feeling its best.
Monastery sources only the purest, highest quality ingredients. Plus, they only use essential oils that are known for their non-irritating properties. In addition to being completely natural, all Monastery products are alcohol, salt, and filler free.

The gold oil sounds wonderful (but how do you pick just one??).
been using Monastery products for several years, am addicted to Rose Cleansing Oil, my go to. My daughter, whom lives in SF and frequents their brick & mortar turned me onto this lovely product and women whom provide these little gems. One particular wonderful human being Athena will go to end of earth providing awesome customer care, which we all know it hard to find these days. Today I ordered Rose Glycolic Gel, super excited to receive. Monastery products make me feel beautiful, fresh, and glowing, inside and out. I hope you all enjoy as much as I do. xoxoxooooo
Rose Cleansing Oil!
GORGEOUS products!
The Lapiz body oil look divine. Such pretty packaging, too!
I’d love to see the face of a 40+ year old woman in the promo shots for these skin care companies… I know 20 year olds have flawless, wrinkle free skin, but the proof is in the pudding… How do these products work on MY aging skin??! I’d be much more likely to shop these lines if I saw that type of representation.
My postpartum skin is hanging for the aloe hyaluronic moisture boost!! Anything to make me feel like less of a parched desert.
Super excited about all the products, but esp Attar!
These sound like perfection! Will have to give them a try.
