It's never easy to increase prices, and we know this affects you as a loyal customer 🙏 That's why we want to be completely open about why this is happening - and what it means for you.
We always handpick carefully selected herbs and plants to create powerful natural wellness products by hand.
Why now?
🌟 Vossabia is growing: After winning awards in both Scandinavia and Europe 🏆, demand has skyrocketed. We deliver to customers all over the country – and more and more foreign customers are opening their eyes to us 🌍. Growth is great, but also very costly.
🌿 Growing craft: Even though we are scaling up, we stand firm on the principle of making every single ointment and shampoo by hand ✋, and picking wild herbs ourselves from the nature around us 🌼 – on the farm and in the surrounding area. And in addition, doing what we have done for 21 years: only buying organic ingredients that we do not have ourselves. Naturally!
🏡 New production building: We are completely out of space on the farm, all the houses are used to the maximum, and that's good 😅 We are now building a new, modern production house on the site where the 19th century barn stood. It gives us the opportunity to continue our craft: making small-scale, hand-picked herbal magic ✨ - but in a more efficient and sustainable way 🌍.
💸 Increased costs: Like everyone else, we are also experiencing higher prices for everything from raw materials 🌾 to packaging 📦 and energy ⚡. In addition, we have hired many new employees in recent years 🤗, which is absolutely necessary to continue delivering the best quality to you.
We are well underway with the construction of a new and modern operational building for Vossabia!
What does this mean to you?
⏳ Precautions: We will let you know well in advance, so you can plan and possibly secure your favorites at today's prices before October 1 🗓️.
🌸 Even better operation: The price adjustment means we can continue to focus on quality 💎, and build on what you already appreciate with Vossabia.
🤝 Safety and trust: You can know that everything we do – from handpicking herbs 🌿 to developing new products 🌺 – happens on the farm, with the same care and passion as always 💚.
THANK YOU ❤️
We are deeply grateful 🙏 for the trust and enthusiasm you show Vossabia. It is your support that allows us to continue to create great and effective organic natural products 🌱 that take care of both people and nature 🌍.
PS: Remember to secure your Vossabia favorites at today's prices before October 1st 🌿
🌸 Pocket pharmacy tip: Your natural first aid kit.
After such practical advice, we will of course also give you what we always like to share best: inspiration and knowledge from the herb garden 🌿
For us, Vossabia is not just about products as you know, but about holistic health closely linked to how we can use the nature around us.
Our basic philosophy is based on knowledge that was more common before, and I hope our tips can help keep old traditions alive – and that you can take little green tricks with you into your everyday life.
Here is a little tip on how you can make your own. pocket pharmacy - a natural first aid kit that you can take with you everywhere.
💜 Lavender - peace and help in your pocket
Lavender is not just a beautiful purple flower with a wonderful scent – it is a true everyday hero.
The scent can calm when anxiety, stress, or sleep problems arise, and just having a small bag of dried lavender in your bag can act as a "reset button" on your mood.
Lavender is also known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. A little diluted lavender oil can be applied to small cuts, stings or minor burns – and help the skin heal faster.
Lavender from the garden is great to dry and wear in a small cloth bag for fragrance and a relaxing effect.
💜 At Vossabia you will find lavender in several treasures, which will make everyday life gentler and calmer:
- Calendula Balm – a nourishing and universal salve that smells like stress-less lavender. Rub a little into your palms, inhale and feel the stress melt away!
- Lavender Lips – softens and nourishes the lips with a soothing touch.
- Baby ointment – safe, calming and gentle for the little ones.
-
Sunscreen – with lavender that turns sunbathing into a gentle spa experience.
🌿 Peppermint – for head, breath and stomach
When a headache creeps in or your muscles become tense, peppermint is a powerful friend.
It gives a cool, relaxing feeling that is both calming and uplifting. Many people use peppermint for headaches, muscle tension, and poor concentration.
Peppermint is also known to help the stomach – whether as a tea or by inhalation. It can relieve nausea, motion sickness or stomach aches, and gives a fresh feeling that lifts the body.
Mint lips are perfect for mouth ulcers, to soften the lips and try it on cold sores.
💚 At Vossabia you can experience peppermint in several ways:
- Panther balm – our strongest friend for headaches, aches and tension. Perfect for both rubbing on muscles and inhaling straight from the can, or here too: rub into your hands and inhale!
- Rosemary Hair Serum – with peppermint that stimulates, refreshes and can be used both in the hair, on the skin – or as a little emergency helper for nausea. I also often inhale this directly, a pure sensory experience that stimulates the mind!
🌼 Chamomile – gentle friend for calm and digestion
Chamomile may be best known as "bedtime tea," but this gentle flower has so much more to offer.
It has a calming effect on the mind and body, and can be good for anxiety, irritation or stress. Chamomile is even a good support plant for fevers and colds.
Chamomile is also known to be gentle on the stomach. It can help with cramps, gas, and upset stomach, and is safe enough for both children and adults to use. Cooled chamomile tea can also be used as a wash for tired eyes, irritated skin, or minor wounds.
🌼 At Vossabia you will find chamomile in several flavors:
- Chamomile balm – gentle and soothing, perfect to apply to the face, chest or feet at bedtime. Also relieves itching, eczema, psoriasis and vaginal discomfort.
- Body Balm – contains chamomile in combination with yarrow, red clover and St. John's wort. Customers report that wounds heal faster, leg cramps disappear and the skin is strengthened and balanced.
💡 Tip from the farm: Try Chamomile Balm on your feet in the evening – it gives both soft skin and a more restful sleep.
🌱 Yarrow – nature's universal plaster and strengthening agent
Yarrow is a powerful herb known to stop minor bleeding and help wounds heal, and has been used for hundreds of years on battlefields and in homes.
But yarrow can do more than soothe wounds – it is a strengthening herb for the body. As a tea, it can help with fever, cramps or stomach problems. Yarrow has a circulatory and cleansing effect, and many people find the herb to be balancing and strengthening for both body and mind.
When I pick yarrow, I always crush a little between my fingers and inhale and breathe it in deeply, as I do with many plants. Don't underestimate how the aroma and fragrance of plants can directly affect you!
You will find yarrow in Body Balm – together with red clover and St. John's wort, a true universal salve for the entire body.
💚 At Vossabia you can also find yarrow in:
- Lemongrass Hair Serum – just as effective on skin and body as it is on hair, with yarrow that provides strength and balance.
- Shampoo with wild herbs – stimulates hair follicles, strengthens hair, and does your scalp itch? Then yarrow in our shampoo might be the answer!
🌲 Juniper – the forest's fresh breath and tonic
Have you noticed how good it feels for your body and mind after a walk in the forest, where you breathe in the fresh, spicy scent of the forest trees, especially juniper?
Juniper is not just a scent from nature – it is a strengthening and cleansing herb that can open the breath, provide clarity in the head, and support the body in times of restlessness or sluggish energy.
Juniper berries can be used for tea, which is both cleansing and digestive, while twigs and berries can be boiled into a bath or steam to ease breathing and provide a feeling of uplifting calm.
Ylva picks juniper to be used as a spice in our cooking
🌲 At Vossabia you will find juniper in several treasures that will bring the forest home with you:
- • Body balm – with juniper, yarrow and red clover, strengthening for skin and muscles, also for leg cramps.
- • Forest Deo – natural and long-lasting freshness, inspired by the forest's own scent.
- • The forest on the body – fresh and cleansing with juniper that provides care and nourishment to skin and hair.
💡 Tip from the farm: When we brew the strong herbal tea that is the base of Skogen på Kroppen, the house is filled with the most amazing scent. I usually lift the lid and bend down to the pan and take a deep breath – so uplifting! It feels like bringing the whole forest into the house! Try brewing a pan of juniper too!
I drink shampoo tea with yarrow, among other things.
Your own herbal medicine in your pocket
With these five herbs – lavender, peppermint, chamomile, yarrow and juniper – you are well equipped for small everyday ailments. In the form of tea, ointment, tincture or oil, they can be good helpers on the way.
And the best part? You become more self-reliant, and you have natural solutions readily available when life presents small challenges 🌿✨
