About Brew City Botanicals
Welcome to Brew City Botanicals
Thank you for your interest in Brew City Botanicals.
I created Brew City Botanicals from a deep appreciation for plants, natural living, and the connection between what we put on our bodies and how we care for our overall well-being. What began as a passion for creating high-quality, natural body care products has grown into a business that brings together my love of herbalism, holistic wellness, education, and helping others live healthier, more intentional lives.
I believe that the products we use every day should be made with thoughtful, high-quality ingredients—and that caring for ourselves can also mean caring for the world around us.
Meet Kristine
I'm Kristine Stein, the owner and operator of Brew City Botanicals. I have a B.Sc. in Biology, a Master's Certificate in Herbal Medicine & Nutrition, and I am a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist through the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA). I have also completed additional training and certifications in holistic health and wellness and have been working in the holistic health field for more than 20 years.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to support clients in private practice, clinical settings, and as a Health Coach for Dr. Mindy Pelz's membership academy. These experiences have allowed me to educate and guide individuals on topics including nutrition, hormonal health, fasting, metabolic wellness, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
I believe meaningful wellness begins with understanding the whole person - not simply focusing on individual symptoms.
My work brings together my background in science with a deep respect for plants and traditional herbal knowledge. I am particularly passionate about hormonal health, whole-body wellness, nutrition, and helping people better understand their own health.
Alongside Brew City Botanicals' handcrafted body care products, I offer personalized holistic wellness consultations and educational presentations. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health.
Thoughtfully Made, Naturally Inspired
Every Brew City Botanicals product is handcrafted and packaged by me in small batches. I use natural, high-quality ingredients, including certified organic ingredients whenever possible, and source from local resources when I can. I also grow some of the herbs used in my products myself.
Because each product is handmade, slight variations in color, texture, or scent may occur from batch to batch. Some products may also contain small pieces of plant material. These natural variations are part of the beauty of handmade products and do not affect their quality.
I formulate my products with the intention of creating simple, effective body care without unnecessary synthetic ingredients or artificial additives.
A Commitment to Quality & Responsible Choices
I believe that choosing natural products is about more than what goes into the bottle or jar. It is also about how ingredients are grown, sourced, processed, and handled.
Whenever I purchase ingredients, I seek out suppliers that prioritize quality and responsible practices. I look for thoughtful sourcing, strong quality-control standards, and consideration for environmental and social responsibility.
I am also committed to cruelty-free practices. I do not use ingredients that have been tested on animals, nor do I purchase from companies that test their ingredients or products on animals.
I strive to make choices that reflect my values-from the ingredients I select to the packaging and materials I use. I recycle containers, shipping materials, and office materials whenever possible and use FDA food-approved packaging for my products.
You can learn more about my approach to organic ingredients, responsible sourcing, and cruelty-free practices on my Why Organic? page.
More Than Body Care
Brew City Botanicals is about more than natural body care. It is also about education, curiosity, and helping people become more informed about their own health and well-being.
Through my consultations, educational workshops, and presentations, I share information about holistic wellness, nutrition, herbal traditions, women's health, hormonal balance, and other topics that can help people make more informed choices for themselves.
Whether you're exploring natural body care, looking for personalized wellness support, or simply want to learn more, I invite you to explore the resources and services available throughout the site.
Thank you for being here and for supporting a small, independently owned business.
