MEET THE ARTIST: LEAF PEOPLE

Herbalist Julie Levin was raised in Alaska, where she grew up with a deep appreciation for the beauty of plants and a budding understanding of how to use plants for survival. As an adult, she seeded this passion with deep botanical studies, including a degree in herbal medicine and mentorships with master herbalists in the U.S. and traditional healers in the Andes and Amazon. She also devoted herself to studying Buddhism. Taken together, this global education has blossomed into Leaf People Skin Care. Levin’s organic body care infusions harness the power of science along with her more esoteric appreciations to create luxurious botanical serums, scrubs and lotions. Each product is a blend of antioxidant-rich formulas, traditional herbal methodology and current scientific research. Her raw ingredients come from farms that practice organic or biodynamic farming, and ethical wild harvesting. Each plant’s nourishing properties are extracted without mechanized processes and at extremely low temperatures in order to preserve vital nutrients and therapeutic properties. Infused with spiritual practices gleaned from Levin’s daily interactions with the native cultures of the Amazon and elsewhere, she has insured that giving back is part of Leaf People’s pure intention. Sales of Leaf People Skin Care products help benefit United Plant Savers, Lift-up Rifle, Tara Mandala Buddhist Center, The Pundarika Foundation and local charities in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen, Colorado.
