Meet Remy: The Remedy Wagon's Adventurous Spirit
Where curiosity meets discovery in the world of natural skincare
Who is Remy?
Let's be upfront: Remy isn't a real person.
Remy is our Shopkeeper and storytelling muse—the curious, adventurous spirit that guides The Remedy Wagon's exploration of botanical ingredients, traditional remedies, and skincare wisdom from around the world.
Think of Remy as:
The Explorer
Discovering rare botanicals and time-tested traditions from around the world
The Experimenter
Testing formulas in real conditions—desert heat, mountain cold, ocean humidity
The Educator
Making ingredient science accessible, exciting, and actually fun to learn
The Creative
Bringing joy, whimsy, and storytelling magic to your skincare routine
Remy brings the story.
Together, they create products that work and inspire.
Why Create Remy?
Because skincare education doesn't have to be boring.
Ingredient labels can feel clinical. Botanical names are intimidating. The why behind traditional remedies often gets lost in jargon.
Remy makes it fun.
Instead of just listing "argan oil from Morocco," Remy takes you to the Berber villages where women have pressed it by hand for centuries. Instead of clinical descriptions of frankincense's benefits, Remy shares the ancient trade routes that made it "worth its weight in gold."
Remy turns ingredient education into adventure stories.
Remy's Role at The Remedy Wagon
Homestead Provisions
Remy also explores traditional American remedies—the tallow balms, herbal salves, and time-tested solutions your great-grandmother would recognize.
This is where old-world wisdom meets modern formulation standards. Remy digs into the history while Ashley ensures the quality.

A Note From Ashley
I created Remy because I wanted skincare education to feel like discovery, not homework.
As a nutritionist, I can explain the molecular structure of oleic acid and its penetration rates—but that's not what most people want to hear at 7 AM while getting ready.
Remy lets me share the same science through stories, adventures, and context that actually stick.
Think of it this way: I'm the researcher in the lab. Remy's the storyteller who makes you actually care about what we discovered.
Both are essential. Both are honest. And together, they make The Remedy Wagon what it is.
