Summer of 2024: Sara Crow among the flowers in Iceland where she researches wild flora for medicinal discovery.
Q: You just turned 50, congratulations! You look incredible and emanate a remarkably youthful nature- you always seem to have so much good energy! What are your secrets?
A: Thank you. I feel better now than I have at any other time in my life. In addition to exclusively using Floralchemy’s skincare, I follow a rejuvenating nutritional and lifestyle approach that I’ve created that includes what I like to call ‘master foods’, meditation, living flowers, and herbal tonics. I have a collection of marvelous ‘feel-good/look-good’ recipes that I like to teach others. It gives me a lot of joy to share these rejuvenating approaches with folks all around the world in my health consultations.

Another thing that I feel keeps me young is the Endless Beauty elixir. I created it years ago (we JUST released this to the public) from some of my favorite flowers from Iceland.
Q: Your skin is beautiful. What is your favorite skincare product and current skincare routine?
A: My current obsession is the Rosa Flora Age-Reversing Flawless Glow Rose Crème. I can’t get enough of it! We use fresh flowers and living plant butters in the making of this labor intensive product and I feel it makes all the difference in terms of performance.
In regard to my skincare routine, I exfoliate much more now (almost daily) than I have in prior years, and couple it with facial massage at least once a day using one of our serums. I’m sure not to miss my neck and chest- as these are areas prone to accelerated aging. I make sure to protect this part of my body from the sun, typically through clothing such as a hat or scarf rather than sunscreen (not always reliable- rubs off, etc). After cleansing, I spritz with our multidimensional rose mist, and follow with a ‘serum cocktail’ which is essentially our power serums mixed together in the palm of my hand. I follow it up with our creams. Finally, I love using the body serum after my daily shower.

Q: You’ve had a lifelong passion for healing flowers. Can you tell us more about your journey?
A: I started working with healing flowers over 30 years ago after a profound personal transformation using floral energetics. Since that time I’ve dedicated my life to uncovering the magic and medicine within these transformational vessels of a plant in a heartfelt hope to share it with others.
A major focus of my work is on the wild flora of Iceland to bring exciting new discoveries in floral medicine to the world. I’m passionate about infusing these life-changing floral energies into all Floralchemy products, which you’ll find not only in our floral elixirs but our entire skincare range as well.
Q: What inspires you about turning 50?
A: As I touched on earlier, I feel better and better each passing year. I feel extremely grateful for fifty precious trips around the sun and look forward to another fifty more (at least!) with freedom of good health and a full heart. I keep myself feeling inspired and passionate about a bright future and affirm it everyday. My heart feels guided toward many personal goals and inspiring projects that bring me so much life.
Q: What’s a lesson you’ve learned in your life that helps you stay grounded and happy?
A: I’ve learned along the way to live with a heart that’s overflowing with gratitude for all things, big and small. One of the greatest ‘mistakes’ I see is that far too many of us take life for granted. Practice seeing everything as a gift on your path designed to help you discover more of your greatness. Aim to see life as always working FOR YOU instead of against you. Affirm that life supports you and wants to see you thriving and happy, living your best life. Empower yourself and take an active role toward your desired future.
