Made By Mother Nature: A Brand Grounded in Earth's Wisdom
In a world overflowing with synthetic products and fast consumption, Made by Mother Nature stands as a beacon of authenticity, reconnecting us with the natural world.
Founded by Natassja Krusk, an herbal medicine practitioner based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, this brand is more than just a line of products-it is a philosophy,
a movement, and a call to honor the wisdom of the earth.
Natassja's passion for the healing power of plants began in childhood, spending summers herb and berry-picking on her grandparents farm. Her love for nature only deepened as she grew, leading her to study Western Plant & Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Out of both passion and necessity, she began creating moisturizers, balms, and herbal remedies for friends and family. Encouraged by their positive feedback, she brought her products to local farmers and markets, where they quickly found a devoted following. Her journey into creating Made by Mother Nature stems from a deep belief in the interconnectedness of all life. For her, self-care is not an isolated act but a ripple effect that extends to the entire ecosystem. She believes that when we nurture ourselves with intention and awareness, we are simultaneously nurturing the planet. This philosophy informs every aspect of Made by Mother Nature, from ingredient sourcing to packaging, ensuring that every step honors the earth and those who inhabit it.
The Power of Earth Medicine
Herbal medicine has always been at the heart of Natassja's path. She understands the healing power of plants-gifts that have been part of human existence since time immemorial. The wisdom of the natural world is not something to be manipulated but rather embraced and respected. She speaks passionately about the disharmonies that arise when we use resources in ways that Mother Nature never intended.
Modern lifestyles often distance us from nature and balance, but through conscious choices, we can restore harmony-not just within ourselves but in the world around us. This philosophy is woven into Made by Mother Nature's approach to self-care, ensuring that every product is an extension of the earth's healing embrace.
At the core of Made by Mother Nature is a simple yet profound question:
Was it made by Mother Nature?
This inquiry is the seed from which awareness grows, like branches of a tree reaching toward the sky and roots grounding deep into the earth. It is a question that extends beyond products to every aspect of life-what we consume, how we treat ourselves, and how we interact with the world.
A Philosophy of Boundaries & Awareness
Natassja emphasizes the importance of feeling deeply and validating our own experiences, even when the world around us does not. To her, self-awareness and emotional depth are not weaknesses but essential tools for navigating life. Establishing healthy boundaries, both in relationships and in the products we invite into our lives, is an act of radical self-care.
What we put on our skin, what we consume, and even the energy we surround ourselves with-all of it matters," she explains.
This principle guides Made by Mother Nature in its creation of products that are aligned with nature's intent. Every ingredient is thoughtfully selected, every formulation is rooted in respect for the planet, and nothing is used that does not serve both body and earth in a harmonious way.
Handcrafted, Earth-Honoring Creations
This philosophy comes to life in her carefully crafted product range, which includes deeply nourishing moisturizers, butters, serums, and cleansers designed to honor both the skin and the environment.
Some of her signature offerings include:
- Hydrating Face Serum - A luxurious blend of Hyaluronic acid, collagen, plant glycerin and Vit B5, designed to nourish and restore a radiant dewy glow.
