Our Story

We’re repositioning ancient southwest self-care

Our mission:

is to preserve and honor the traditions and ancestral wisdom of local remedies that have supported communities in the Desert Southwest for centuries.

Our vision:

We believe in the freedom that comes from turning to the Earth for guidance, and we’re making that freedom accessible through intentional, nature-derived self-care that fosters a deep connection to the southwest.

We’re cultivating community:

Community is everything to us. None of this would be possible without you. We’re honored to create products that tell stories you can relate to. We love hearing about your grandma’s remedies and the personal connections you have to the ingredients we work with. We’re all on the same page here at Mañana Botanicals—seeking natural, effective, and intentional products that honor both ourselves and the earth.

We’re honoring tradition:

Cultural preservation is an important focus for us. Each of our formulations is crafted in small, solar-infused batches. We use time-honored ingredients that have been trusted in the Southwest for centuries. Time and time again these formulations prove to be effective. Our inspiration comes from traditional remedies, and for those that aren’t traditional, we’re giving them a new purpose.

We’re reviving formulations:

We select each ingredient with intention, harvesting them seasonally in their most potent state. We believe everything in life has its season, and this philosophy guides us in everything we do. In a world dominated by mass production, we've chosen to take the opposite approach, creating natural products that are crafted with care and guaranteed to deliver results.

I have always been connected to my rich New Mexican heritage —folklore, traditions, and my grandma’s garden were all a integral part of my upbringing. There is something undeniably grounding about being on the land of my ancestors. No place in the world makes me feel as free the as the American west does.

After being laid off from my corporate job on the east coast in 2020, I knew it was time to honor my roots. With a background in the beauty industry, I wanted to combine the efficacy of southwest botanicals while evoking stories, traditions, and connection through my products. Each collection represents a season, a theme, and features at least one wild harvested extract.

In addition to my beauty industry experience, I studied herbalism and focused on traditional herbalism of the southwest. The mind-body-spirit approach of curandersimo (folk healing) and its significance in this region has been a constant source of inspiration not only in my life, but also in the creation of my products. I have drawn inspiration from the landscape, plants, and traditions of this region and bottled up this combination for others to experience holistic sense of connection— to themselves and the rich culture of the southwest.

With love,
