Plant-Led Formulation: The Spirit Behind Leaf People Skincare
Episode Description:
What if your skincare routine was more than just topical? What if it was a sacred exchange—between you, the plants, and the Earth?
In this soul-stirring episode, Elliott sits down with Julie Williams, founder and formulator behind Leaf People Skincare. Julie shares the remarkable story of how she studied plant medicine around the globe—from the Amazon to the Australian outback—and how those teachings laid the foundation for one of the most energetically aligned skincare lines in existence.
We explore:
- How Leaf People was born from plant visions in the Amazon
- What it means to be in true service to the plants
- Wildcrafting with intention & plant communication
- Julie’s multi-phase extraction process, including oil infusions, tinctures, and vibrational medicine
- The role of Buddhist talismans, monk blessings, and energetic imprinting in her lab
- How ingredients like plant-based hyaluronic acid, peptides, and stem cells can be used to enhance botanicals in skincare
- A guide to choosing from Leaf People’s four lines: Transform, Nourishing, Balancing, and Clinical
- Julie’s own skincare routine, and why “radiance” starts in the heart
