MEET: KRISTINA BARANOWSKI | ORCHID + ASH
Some brands feel less like products and more like a moment — a breath, a reset, a soft landing after a long day on sandy roads. That’s the energy of Orchid + Ash, the deeply personal, beautifully intentional line created by Kristina Baranowski.
She started this brand as a kind of creative rebirth — something raw, rooted, and honest. You can feel that in every detail. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is noisy. It’s skincare and scent made to slow you down just enough to notice how you’re feeling.
Kristina believes scent is a form of medicine — a grounding force when the world feels too bright or too fast. And her formulas follow that same belief: nontoxic, sustainable, and designed to support your nervous system rather than overwhelm it. Balms that soften the edges of the day. Scents that feel like a quiet exhale. Textures that remind you to reconnect with your own body.
It’s thoughtful. It’s gentle. It’s made for the version of you that shows up when the desert dust settles and everything feels honest again.
Next time you wander through the Trading Post, slow down and explore Orchid + Ash. You might find a new ritual — or maybe just a moment that feels like coming home.
