Every product is hand-poured by the Monastery team in their lab and headquarters in San Francisco. The fact that their products are made in-house gives us confidence that they are putting out the best possible product and that no product is going to waste sitting on a shelf getting expired. A skincare brand manufacturing and formulating their own products is rare in this industry and something they pride themselves on. Each product is a true expression of their love and appreciation for the ingredients and their natural healing properties.
They also work directly with the farmers who grow and process the source ingredients.

Their packaging reflects the same level of care, using primarily glass, metal, and paper components that are widely recyclable and lower impact than traditional plastic. These materials not only reduce waste but can often be reused, supporting a more circular and conscious approach to skincare.
Glass skincare packaging is infinitely recyclable without losing quality
