Alpyn Beauty
$60 - $68
-Alpyn Beauty is the first and only skincare line to sustainably harvest wild crafted ingredients straight from the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

-Founder Kendra Butler, first created Alpyn Beauty for the clients at her Jackson Hole apothecary, Alpyn Beauty Bar.
-She became instantly enchanted with the wild forests of arnica and chamomile, and the fields of lavender and sage which make up her new backyard, and became the basis for Alpyn Beauty.
