Skin

Almost two square metres in area, weighing about three kilograms — the skin is our largest organ. It protects, it breathes, it senses, it regulates temperature. And it outwardly shows what is happening inside: excitement, shame, fatigue, illness, health. No other organ is so eloquent.

Boundary and Encounter

The skin is the place where inside and outside touch each other. It holds us together and at the same time separates us from the world. When it reacts — reddened, irritated, itchy, flaky — it is rarely just about itself. Skin manifestations often reveal what is deeper lying, brought to the surface.

The skin is the outermost layer of the soul.

— Novalis

Ceres cares for the skin in two ways: through mother tinctures that act internally, and through natural cosmetics that bring the plant directly to the skin. Both follow the same conviction — the whole plant carries the whole healing power.
