The bear grease healing salve has replaced hydrocortisone cream prescribed by my doctor. It is effective and worked quickly to alleviate a skin condition I was diagnosed with nearly a year ago. A little goes a long way, and... it smells SO good!

Our story

I am a Mi’gmaw woman living in Mi’gma’gi, along the Restigouche River in northern New Brunswick—my ancestral territory. My great-grandmother lost her Status under the Indian Act, but through Bill C-31 in 1985, my family regained our rights. Today, I am a Status Indian on the General List Atlantic, rooted in the lands of my ancestors.

My grandmother’s name, Si’st Sipu (pronounced Siist Si•bu) meaning Three Rivers, reflects both my family lineage and the three rivers of plant medicine teachings I’ve received from Elders across the Americas. My journey with plant medicine began in Guatemala, where Mayan Elders deepened my connection to the healing power of plants. Since returning home, I’ve continued to weave these teachings in to the products I create.

With over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry, I combine traditional plant knowledge with modern science to create skincare and wellness products in a Good Way—with respect, intention, and care. Each product is crafted from organic and wildcrafted ingredients to nourish, heal, and honor ancestral wisdom.
