Kapeya Restorative Face Oil: The Benefits of Each Ingredient from Coff

Kapeya was formulated with the goal of reducing redness, firming the skin, and providing an invigorating yet calming scent. The inspiration for using coffee came to me while enjoying a morning cup. Aware of caffeine's ability to tighten and stimulate, it seemed like the perfect ingredient to formulate into an oil with these intentions. Pairing it with the healing properties of papaya seed was an obvious choice. The inclusion of nourishing oils and soothing essential oils further enhances Kapeya's effectiveness and ensures alignment with its intended benefits. If you're seeking relief from redness and irritation caused by sunburns, allergies, or daily environmental stresses, look no further—this face oil is tailored for you!

An Investment For Your Spirit!

Learning under Lyn is a transformative experience. Her knowledge of plant medicine and the ancestral traditions of the Philippines is boundless, reflecting years of dedicated study and deep spiritual connection. Lyn's mastery of her craft is matched by her humility and unwavering commitment to serving her community. Her mission to protect the earth and teach others to become responsible stewards of the land is embodied in Halamanism—a practice she has beautifully defined as the reclaiming and revitalization of Philippine plant medicine, rooted in animistic traditions, to heal ourselves, our ancestors, our communities, and our planet.

Although Lyn comes from a lineage of respected shamans and healers, she embraces a non-hierarchical approach, empowering all to access the sacred on their own terms. She has an extraordinary ability to hold space for the complex emotions that surface as her students confront ancestral grief, offering compassion and guidance throughout the journey. Lyn’s energy and teaching style draw people from all walks of life, creating an environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. She and her family have become like family to me and many others who are fortunate enough to learn from her.

THE BEST!!!

Lyn’s Herbalaria products are so intentionally crafted - down to the lunar/astrological timing and energetics. I absolutely love knowing what I put on my body comes from her personal garden/farm, where she has a reciprocal and divine relationship with her plants spanning decades and even lifetimes. I also love how some of her plants, like the calamansi tree, were inherited and lovingly moved from a late ancestor's home to be with Lyn and her family. The actual products themselves are luxurious and the epitome of nourishing, engaging all the senses and doing all they claim to do - Lyn is a botanical expert who knows what she is doing. I would recommend her products to anyone who cares about the effectiveness and ethics of their skin care. I feel blessed to know, learn, and nourish my body / mind / soul through Lyn and the larger herbal area family.
