Slow Body Care Movement

The Slow Body Care Movement is our heart and soul — is our philosophy that emphasizes mindful, intentional, and sustainable skincare and wellness practices. It draws inspiration from the broader "slow living" movement, which encourages slowing down to prioritize quality, simplicity, and connection to nature over mass-produced, fast-paced consumption. Specifically, the Slow Body Care Movement promotes:

  • Natural, High-Quality Ingredients: Using time-honored, minimally processed ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow, whole herb infusions, and essential oils that nourish the body and align with its natural biology.
  • Small-Batch Craftsmanship: Creating products with care in small quantities to ensure attention to detail and maintain authenticity, as opposed to industrial, mass-produced alternatives.
  • Sustainability and Eco-Consciousness: Prioritizing eco-friendly packaging (e.g., wax paper, mason jars) and regenerative, ethically sourced ingredients to support environmental health.
  • Mindful Self-Care: Encouraging consumers to engage in deliberate, ritualistic self-care that fosters a deeper connection to their body and well-being, celebrating the sensory and therapeutic experience of using natural products.
  • Retro-Inspired Simplicity: Evoking the nostalgic, homemade aesthetic of the 1950s–1970s boho apothecary, where remedies were crafted with intention and respect for tradition.

For Retro Remedy Co., the Slow Body Care Movement is about rejecting synthetic, chemical-laden products and embracing a return to natural, pet-safe, and luxurious skincare that supports both personal wellness and planetary health. It invites customers to savor the process of caring for their skin and home with products that tell a story of quality and care.
