What's This All About?
I'm Alina and I'm a formulator, multimedia designer, gardener, and DIYer! I like making stuff instead of buying stuff and I want to teach you to make things, too. I write blog posts and release ebooks with easy-to-follow formulas and everything you need to know to make great products for fun and/or profit at home! Follow along @alinas_dacha on Instagram.

-
No Tilling, No Spraying
The raw materials used in Materia Medica products are grown alongside the food I grow for my family.
-
Handcrafted Skincare
About Materia MedicaSmall batch skincare is more ethical and effective than mass-produced products with questionable claims.
-
Gentle Ingredients
I formulate with long-term skin health in mind. Harsh acids and exfoliants cause more harm than good and are over-prescribed.
