when are the plants harvested?

our main harvest season is from September through March (spring and summer in Australia). farmers pick flowers and plants like calendula, lavender, rose, sandalwood, marshmallow, and licorice. each plant is picked by hand, in its own way. after the harvest is over, rye, clover, and oats are planted to nourish the soil during the winter.

how are the plants and flowers from your farms transformed into Jurlique products?

after our herbs, flowers, and roots are harvested and dried, we put them through our three-step Biointrinsic Extraction process. this involves separating, purifying, and reuniting the essential components of the plant. it takes about 28 to 40 days for a plant to go through the process, but the result is skin care that is full of the plant's living energy.

how long have the farms been in operation?

our farms have always been the heart and soul of Jurlique. over twenty years ago, Jurlique founders Jurgen and Ulrike Klein started the first farm, where they nurtured and grew our biodynamic approach to beauty.

how many farms do you operate?

today, we have two farms spanning over 150 acres at Ngeringa and Mylor in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.

what do you grow on the farms?

we grow 50 different varieties of plants and flowers—including lavender, rose, marshmallow, elder, and calendula—that provide the essential skin-replenishing energy within our products. we also support the growth of new life through companion planting.

are your farms organic?

our farming methods are organic, sustainable, and biodynamic. biodynamic beauty is rooted in what we do, not what we do without. we never use pesticides or herbicide, but biodynamic farming goes one step further. we focus on the health of the soil by observing the cycles of the earth that affect seeding, propagating, growing, and harvesting. this is how we maximize the living energy present in plants as they grow.
