The Story...

Your Only Earth was born from both lineage and lived experience — from a deep respect for the land, and from a personal journey toward simpler, more intentional health.

Over two decades ago, I began seeking gentler ways to support and care for my family after my oldest daughter and I experienced some health issues. That search led me toward more organic living, careful ingredient choices, and a renewed trust in remedies made slowly and thoughtfully.

In that journey, I returned to a family remedy my great-grandmother once made in her island kitchen — Gramma’s Salve. Created with ingredients from the land, oil, beeswax, and patience, it was known to all the islanders of Put-in-Bay, Ohio.

No fancy labels.

No marketing.

Just something that worked.

When I began making that salve again, first for my family and then for others, Your Only Earth took shape naturally. Salves, balms, skincare, and eventually soap. What started over fourteen years ago as a personal necessity became a small-batch business rooted in continuity, care, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms.

Gramma’s Salve remains the first product I made — and the heart of everything we offer today. Every balm and remedy is made by hand in small batches, using organic ingredients and methods that honor time rather than rush it. This is not about quick fixes or trends, it is about care that feels familiar, supportive, and grounded.

Your Only Earth exists to carry forward what has already helped — simple remedies, trusted processes, and a belief that healing and wellness begin with mindful choices.

“Some things don’t need to be reinvented. They just need to be remembered.”
