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.

Hi, I'm Alina!

Thank you for visiting my shop! I'm passionate about skincare that's ethical, gentle, and effective, and I care about where it comes from. I believe the future of skincare is local, seasonal, deeply personal, and free of cruel practices.

Read What We're All About

  • No Tilling, No Spraying

    The raw materials used in Materia Medica products are grown alongside the food I grow for my family.

  • Handcrafted Skincare

    Small batch skincare is more ethical and effective than mass-produced products with questionable claims.

    About Materia Medica 

  • Gentle Ingredients

    I formulate with long-term skin health in mind. Harsh acids and exfoliants cause more harm than good and are over-prescribed.
