Hello,

I’m writing to you today to share some news about this blog.

If you’ve been here for a while—some of you since 2012—you know that this space has been my lab. I’ve spent years experimenting with cosmetic formulations and sharing my learning curve. I’ve reached almost 1.5 million views, and I am so grateful for the company you’ve kept me.

I haven’t shared much here lately. To be honest, I’ve felt a bit silenced by all the new rules and regulations. The “proper” way to share experiments started to feel less like a creative process and more like a technical chore.

I’ve never earned a single euro from this blog, and as it gets more expensive and complicated to maintain, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I am keeping this site online only as a historic archive of my formulation journey, but I won’t be posting here anymore.

However, my hands haven’t stopped working.

I’m returning to where I actually started: crafts, wool, and the simple joy of making things for a cozy home. I’ve started a brand new blog so I can share these new chapters – spinning, knitting, felting, and simple apothecary – without cluttering the formulation archive here.

I would love for you to join me at my new home, if you share any interest in these new subjects:

Wool & Embers STUDIO

Whether you stay to browse the old formulas or follow me to the new studio, thank you for being part of this journey since the beginning.

See you at the new hearth,

Chiara
