Winter has a way of sneaking up on our skin. The air gets drier, the wind gets sharper, and suddenly we’re keeping the same jars and bottles by the sink, the bed, and the shower.
These are the staples we reach for first — the everyday helpers that make cold months softer, warmer, and a whole lot more comfortable.
Below are the four products we use constantly at home, in the shop, and in the deepest reaches of Montana winter. Consider this your friendly little guide to staying moisturized, soothed, and comforted until the snow melts.
Gypsy Cream
Our everyday, everything moisturizer
We use Gypsy Cream daily — face, hands, weird dry patches, windburn, mystery irritation — it’s the jar we reach for automatically.
Made with hemp seed oil, mineral-rich Montana spring water, aloe, shea, and beeswax — it hydrates, protects, and calms without feeling heavy.
Cold mornings, chapped knuckles, tight cheeks… Gypsy Cream handles it all.
Why it’s a winter essential:
-
Soothes irritated winter skin
-
Locks in moisture
-
Gentle enough for everyone in the house
-
A little goes a long way
We keep one on the bathroom counter, one in the bag, and sometimes one in the car.
Bath + Body Favorites
Warm skin is happy skin
Winter skin gets thirsty, and warm water + botanicals make a beautiful pair.
Our favorite helpers:
After a hot bath or shower, your skin drinks up oil like it hasn’t seen moisture since June.
Why this matters in winter:
-
Hot water strips skin
-
Cold air pulls moisture out
-
Natural oils help repair the barrier
Oasis on damp skin after the bath = Skin Bliss
Cottonwood Creek & OMg
Winter muscles need a little love
Cold weather makes muscles grumpy: shoveling, scraping cars, stacking wood, long drives, skiing, or just sitting too long in front of the fire.
Cottonwood Creek is our herbal muscle rub — warming botanicals that feel like comfort.
Pair it with magnesium oil and everything relaxes deeper.
Perfect for:
-
tight shoulders
-
stiff neck
-
achy hands
-
long days on the mountain
We stash this duo by the bedside.
Masks
The season for slowing down
Winter is the perfect time to mask.
The air outside is cold and dry. The air inside is warm and dry. Skin needs minerals, moisture, and rest.
Our masks are packed with botanicals — real ingredients that feed the skin. No fillers. No fluff.
A brush makes the ritual easier, cleaner, and a little more luxurious.
Sunday night + mask + warm drink = winter therapy.
Build Your Winter Ritual
Here’s a simple ritual that works for just about everyone:
-
Warm bath or shower

Oil on damp skin

Gypsy Cream on the dry spots

Cottonwood + magnesium for muscles

Your whole body will thank you.
