OUR STORY
Everything started when I was 13 years old, in the spring patches of good 'ole Springfield, Illinois. It was there that I started to make my own facial care & masks. You see, since
I was a little girl, I have had bad reactions to the smells of anything synthetic: lotions, perfumes, paints, etc. They give me migraines & nausea. By the time I was a teenager, I knew I had to do something.
WHAT DOES "ROCÍO SAGRADO" MEAN?
It's pronounced "roh-see-oh sah-grah-doh" and means “Sacred Dew” in Spanish. A dear friend and I chose the name because I also live in Argentina (for more than 20 years now). And I started this little company with this Spanish (Castillan) name in 2010.
AND WHAT DO WE DO?
Since 2011, my husband and I have been creating (for real-for real) handmade,100% pure & natural Skin Care & Holistic Care using hand-picked plants & flowers fresh from our garden & from our friends' gardens and farms.
All our products are plant-loving, nourishing, premium quality, splendidly multi-useful & concentrated. No preservatives, colorants, synthetics, nothing. All the oils we use are non-GMO and/or organic, unrefined, first cold pressed, extra virgen. Everything we make is produced in small batches. Always.
Oleos, Butter Blends, Balms, Masks, Fragrances, Deodorants, Soaps & Repellents are just a few of the things we make in our boutique. Rosemary, Calendula, Dandelion, Lavender, Linden, Rose, Lemon Balm, Bergamot, Chaparral & Thyme are just some of the wondrous plants that we collect from our garden.

OUR PRODUCTS & OUR BELIEFS
We believe in The Power of the Flowers, that is Mother Earth. We believe we are what we ingest & absorb; that is, what we eat & is absorbed through our skin. And when we are connected with this, we are connected with Mother Earth.
Sun, moon, earth, stars. Water, fire, air. The harmony of these energies (that form into only one) enter through our skin, too. The skin - our biggest organ - the one that keeps all of our other physical parts neatly organized, packaged & contained, is tough yet sensitive when necessary. It is also tough yet delicate. Skincare means our skin is lovingly pampered, lovingly cleaned, loving moisturized and lovingly adored. Always.
Our products are made with non-GMO and/or organic high quality raw materials. The oils we use are No preservatives, colorants, synthetics, nothing.
Everything is 100% Pure. Nothing more. Nothing else. We hope you enjoy them. Peace.
Oh - and we are firm, firm believers that LOVE conquers ALL. It is the most powerful, most mysterious & most beautiful of any & all cosmic energies.
RECYCLING
We recycle all of our containers. You can either re-utilize them, bring them for refills or return them to us. We are constantly working on reducing our use of plastics - it is really really hard.
