We believe in self-care as the first step to self-love, empowerment through education, and the revolutionary power of botanicals.

 

Handcrafted

Aromatherapy & plant-based formulas handcrafted with care!

Nestled along the California shoreline, the sun and sea breeze nourish our permaculture garden, where we harvest many ingredients to make our own organic and wildcrafted herbal infusions and seaweed extracts! Our efforts start with love and care for the land, yielding artisanal batches of products handcrafted with care.
 

Made Fresh

At KM Herbals, we make each of our products fresh when you order! We harness the power of botanicals by capturing each ingredient at its freshest to bring you the most potent product possible. Every batch is crafted using gentle production methods that preserve natural color, aroma, and therapeutic integrity at every step…

fresh in every way.
 

Botanical Ingredients

We are committed to using only the finest raw materials available. They are never bleached or processed, conserving all of their nourishing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, and brilliant natural colors. All of our formulas incorporate the use of high-quality essential oils, organic and wildcrafted herbs and herbal infusions, food grade vegetable oils and butters, and pure vitalized water! Crafting with these exceptional ingredients ensures that you won’t find products of this caliber anywhere else.

 

Sustainability in Action

At KM Herbals, we are committed to inspiring action by embodying holistic business practices, serving our community, and prioritizing sustainability at every stage of our manufacturing process. We seek to revive, rebuild, and reinvest in a flourishing and vibrant planet for all…and for our future!

From ethically sourcing the finest organic and wild-crafted ingredients to using versatile and recyclable packaging, carpooling to the office, and reducing emissions through on-site manufacturing, we seek to build sustainable practices through actions large and small.

It’s all good.

Biodegradable, botanically-based herbal formulas comprised of food grade ingredients, cruelty-free, gluten free, non-GMO, and synthetic free…so they are safe for you and for the environment.

our origin story

Kim Manley’s enthusiasm for formulating personal care products developed while awaiting the arrival of her beloved daughter, Bonnie Rose. Concerned about the harsh chemicals used in mainstream baby care products, she instead created her own collection of gentle and soothing formulas, planting the seed from which her business has since thrived. Always at work expanding the scope of KM Herbals through channels of production and education, Kim continues to commit herself to providing luxury products crafted with intention, wisdom, and passion.

Now offering everything from skincare treatments to hair and body formulas, KM Herbals supplies our community with the same tender and carefully crafted products for loved ones of every age.

our founder

Kim Manley is the creator and formulator of KM Herbals, Inc. She is a practicing Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Flower Essence Practitioner, Massage Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, and a celebrated Educator.

Kim Manley began her work with herbs and essential oils in 1980 at California School of Herbal Studies, working extensively with leading herbalists and wellness experts to perfect her craft. Her longstanding dedication to quality ingredients, sustainability, organic farming, and holistic wellness has given her a unique approach to luxury beauty, evidenced by her diverse and mindfully fashioned botanical product lines.

Establishing her business in 1992, Kim asserted the vital properties and importance of quality raw botanicals at a time when notions of “holistic wellness” were often deemed an abstract and impractical construct. It is pioneers like Kim, who’ve held a dedicated vision of wellness (as an accessible way of life) and authentic beauty (developing from the inside out), that have laid the groundwork for the thriving and respected industries each are today.
