Handmade in Southern Africa
Experience pure, handcrafted beauty and body care, made with natural, organic ingredients. Each product is thoughtfully formulated, honouring the energetic connection between botanicals, minerals, and celestial bodies.
The Another Sun product range is a pure & metaphysical journey through the art of Beauty & Body Care. All products are formulated, handmade & packaged in small magical batches by Ella, with the utmost care and reverence. True Care for Body & Being.
Botanical and mineral compositions are energetic mavens, confluences, shifters & decrees for specific ailments & conditions. We are most receptive when we are in a state of harmony, when our bodies are celebrated as living songs. On a physical level, when we connect inwardly with beauty through our senses, we may obtain equilibrium in the etheric. We may approach the divine.
Another Sun was given life from a small cottage in the mountain village of Greyton, South Africa. A location where multiple ley lines converge. These lines of energy run through the Earth & intersect at this point, giving the area spiritual significance as they align to ancient energetic pathways.
"I have found that we are much more attuned than we allow ourselves to be. When we dissolve apprehensions & follow our senses, through what we love & connect with, we find that we are naturally attracted to what can serve to balance and harmonise our body & being (this is how regeneration & healing can take place). Colours, scents, textures, environments, tastes, temperatures, textiles, minerals, imagery, sound, patterns, essentially all vibrations... all of this leads us to a place where our body becomes an environment where miracles can actually occur (true, uninterrupted healing), where Spiritus Mundi can enter and how it is able to flow most optimally.
There is an art to care & healing, it is not merely a literal science of XYZ plant profiles or box checking. Caring for your body is an art, a beautiful process inviting higher forms of energy into the layers of your being, to inspire harmonic coherence & thus to regenerate. The products you love and connect with will be how you find your way. You genuinely are your own healer, and the sources that attract you, that you connect with, are extensions of your very own knowing.
Plants and minerals are windows of invitation that we can tailor to where we are unbalanced, certain botanical and mineral combinations are energetic mavens, confluences, shifters & decrees for specific ailments & conditions. We are most receptive when we are in a state of harmony. Harmony is a living song, it is not suppression nor is it fixative perfection. Another Sun is for the passionate spirit, for the love of our bodies and the poetry of how we love the nature that we are. To celebrate the journey back to our eternal selves" ~ Ella

With a background in Natural Apothecary (Integral Institute NYC), Music Composition, Performance, Curating, Sound, Metaphysics, Esoteric Research & Divination I have always been deeply committed to compositions of energy. Having, too, been developer of my own beauty and health care since I was quite young it became a natural direction for me to bring a curated range into a more formal offering.
I am enchanted with the Venusian sensuality and experiential aspects of caring for our bodies, lighting up our spirits with scents and connecting the extensions of botanical medicine, from the unseen world, back to our bodies. This is a beautiful way to really exist fully in our vessels of life and approach the cosmos, how our being is in conversation with the etheric planes. The path to immortality, after all, is through Venus. Our own and the earth's body becoming more subtle. Radiant Beauty & Health is the expression of this. True Beauty, where the skin and body are not just treated as machines to be fixed or "upgraded", but rather to be loved, celebrated, decorated and vibrantly lived in.
Forever spellbound with the plant and mineral kingdoms, I approach skin, body & being formulations not only traditionally, using the purest medicinal sources I can find, but also contemplating the connections plants and minerals have with celestial bodies. The poetics and the energetics. The materia we have around us are ways to commune with the greater cosmos through our inner cosmos. On a physical level, when we connect inwardly with beauty through our senses, we may obtain equilibrium in the etheric. We approach the Divine.
As above, so below.
As within, so without.
The vision for Another Sun was conceived in the mountain village of Greyton, South Africa, from a small cottage between Church & High streets which used to function as one of the original shops.
