Alisal Ranch (Solvang, CA) recently launched Alisal Ranch Trading Co., a product line inspired by the land and paying homage to its rich heritage and history. The introductory launch includes a custom California-made wellness product line produced in partnership with local Ojai-based GARA Skincare. “Alisal Ranch is thrilled to launch Alisal Ranch Trading Co., and it’s an honor to kick off the launch with the release of our very first products, which were developed in partnership with the talented team at GARA Skincare right here on California’s Central Coast,” says Kathleen Cochran, general manager of Alisal Ranch. “The GARA Skincare team has helped us profile scents inspired from the land; from the plants, and from the collected wisdoms of all who have lived here, cultivating, and stewarding the ranch. We’re grateful for their partnership and look forward to introducing the products to our guests at the ranch.”
The new wellness products feature scents inspired by aromatic plants native to Alisal Ranch’s 10,500-acre property, such as sage, fresh grass, wood and rose, with lead scents for each product consisting of a cedar wood shampoo, neroli conditioner, clary sage body wash, and rose lotion. Essence of oak moss and tobacco can also be found in the signature scent, a nod to Alisal Ranch’s rich cowboy culture and history of ranchers who have also played a key role in land conservation and preservation. The natural origin, non-GMO and ethically sourced ingredients in the products provide benefits to the skin, scalp, and body, with a uniquely customized formula that is both a somatic and emotional experience. Alisal Ranch Trading Co. will be available for use in guest cottages at the ranch, as well as within The Mercantile for purchase.
