Our work is grounded in tradition and shaped by modern formulation. Each blend is made in small batches, ensuring purity, consistency, and the unmistakable energy of freshly prepared herbs.
Sustainability is central to our process. From ingredient cultivation to packaging, we approach every choice with care for the environment and respect for the communities that sustain it. As a CA Certified Green Business, we continue to evolve our practices to reflect the highest standards of quality, ethics, and ecological responsibility.


Galen’s Way was founded in 1999 by herbalist Matthew Persico. What began as a personal exploration into the healing power of plants has evolved into a lifelong craft. Matthew’s early studies at the California School of Herbal Studies—and later his work creating and managing botanical production facilities and dispensaries—shaped his deep respect for the relationship between people and plants.
Over twenty-five years later, that same reverence guides our skincare line. Matthew’s hands-on knowledge of herbal extraction and his love of natural beauty have come together to create products that embody purity, efficacy, and care.
From a humble yurt where the first herbal preparations were made, to a vibrant studio filled with the scent of macerating herbs and essential oils, Galen’s Way has grown organically—rooted in tradition, refined through experience. Our logo and labels have evolved alongside us, reflecting a journey from apothecary beginnings to the refined simplicity of today. Each iteration tells the same story: a devotion to plants, craftsmanship, and the quiet power of nature to restore balance and beauty.
