About

Hi, I’m Caitlyn Palmer, and I’m the founder of Swan Valley Botanicals. I started making my own teas, tinctures and skincare because I wanted to be in control of what I was putting into my body or on my skin.

My interest in using herbs and natural ingredients started around 2010, but it didn’t go beyond reading books about herbs until I made my first tincture using rosemary from my backyard in 2023. 

From there, it turned into a range of tinctures that would help with anxiety, brain fog, and period cramps; all things I’ve suffered from at some point in time!

The possibilities were endless, and my passion for creating things made from natural, organic ingredients grew, and now I make things that can be either drunk, eaten, or applied to the skin, for a holistic inside-and-out approach to health and wellbeing.

My products are organic, packed in reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging, and will help you feel and look your best.

Quality Ingredients

I choose the best ingredients for all my teas, tinctures and skincare, opting for organic wherever possible. This isn't just for the ingredient's amazing properties, but because the growing and harvesting process doesn’t harm the waterways with spray runoff, cause soil erosion, harm insects needed for pollination, and destroy microorganisms essential for healthy soil.

Sometimes it’s difficult to source organic for everything, but I opt for them every chance I get. 

Values

I created Swan Valley Botanicals with this idea in mind: Health and wellbeing is something that can be accomplished not just from the outside, but the inside too.

Some of my values include:

  • Sustainable packaging and ingredients
  • Clean products: They are free from petrochemicals,
    silicones, fragrances, PEGS, and drying alcohols.

My ethos is:

Honesty, integrity, kindness 

Giving Back

Owning and running a business means that I have a responsibility to give back to the community and to causes I stand for.

That's why I've partnered with Greenspark, a company that enables my business to give a portion of its profits to offset 10kg of CO2, rescue 8 plastic bottles, and plant a tree with every order. So, by placing an order through my store, you're helping the planet. Thank you!
