Our Story

Our Story

Welcome to Sweetgrass Emporium, where the essence of country living blends with the art of natural healing. Here, each creation is more than a product—it’s a labor of love crafted with intention, care, and deep respect for the earth. Our journey began fifteen years ago, with a single need, a bit of resourcefulness, and a lot of heart.

Miracle Balm, our signature product, came to life when I was a young mother, herbalist, and doula, looking for a safe and gentle remedy for my own children. Cloth diapering mothers, like me, know the struggle of finding a truly effective balm that doesn’t damage the fabric and fibers. Driven by this need, I began experimenting with simple, all-natural ingredients that I felt good about putting on my baby’s skin. The result was a balm that healed diaper rashes beautifully and went on to surprise us with even more uses, from calming eczema to soothing sunburned skin. Before I knew it, Miracle Balm became the best-kept secret among friends, family, and fellow mothers in our community.

With every batch, we aim to capture the wholesome spirit of our homesteading roots, working with certified organic cold-pressed oils and beeswax sourced from a trusted local apiary. Every tin is hand-poured, made in small batches to ensure quality and care in every jar. For us, there is no rush in this process. Each jar of Miracle Balm reflects our commitment to sustainability and the healing power of nature.

Our balm, with its faint scent of honey and rich, buttery texture, feels like a comforting ritual for the skin. It’s fragrance-free, with a simplicity that speaks to its pure ingredients: coconut oil for its antimicrobial and soothing properties, olive oil packed with antioxidants, calendula flower for its healing touch, and beeswax to protect and lock in moisture. Together, these ingredients create something timeless and incredibly versatile—an essential for every household, crafted for both the everyday and the unexpected.

As Sweetgrass Emporium grows, we’re grounded by our philosophy: work hard, love harder. We’re proud to be a women-owned business rooted in clean beauty, dedicated to crafting products that bring care, peace, and a sense of nourishment to those who use them. Miracle Balm isn’t just a product to us; it’s a way to offer support, hope, and a little bit of magic to our customers. Whether it’s healing chapped hands through winter or comforting new mothers with newborns, Miracle Balm has found a way into the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you for being here, for sharing in our journey, and for embracing the beauty of living simply and naturally. We invite you to experience the calm, nurturing touch of Miracle Balm and to discover how it may become a part of your story, too.
