Behind the Scenes: How a Reiki-Charged Batch Is Created

Every product from This Little Light of Mine Skincare starts the same way:
with intention, precision, and a deep respect for both skin and energy.

This isn’t mass production. It’s not rushed. And it’s definitely not “pour, stir, hope for the best.”

It’s a layered process — formulation first, energy second — because results matter and experience matters.

Let’s take you behind the scenes.

Step One: Thoughtful Ingredient Sourcing (Where Everything Begins)-

Before a single batch is made, ingredients are chosen carefully — not just for trend value, but for performance, skin compatibility, and integrity.

Every oil, butter, and functional ingredient is sourced with a focus on:

• skin barrier support

• gentle effectiveness

• compatibility with sensitive and stressed skin

• clean formulation without unnecessary fillers

If an ingredient doesn’t serve a purpose, it doesn’t make it in.

This is especially important in small batch skincare, where each component plays a visible role in texture, absorption, and feel. There’s nowhere to hide behind bulk fillers or dilution.

Ingredients are tested, re-tested, and adjusted based on real feedback — not just theory. Tester responses matter here. Skin responses matter here.

This is formulation as a conversation with real people, not a formula frozen in time.

Step Two: Small Batch Formulation (Precision Before Magic)-

Once ingredients are selected, the real work begins.

Each batch is:

• weighed precisely

• temperature controlled

• mixed in stages

• texture-checked repeatedly

• adjusted when necessary

There are spreadsheets. There are notes. There are moments of “okay, that’s better.”

Small batch crafting allows for attention that large-scale manufacturing simply doesn’t have space for. It also allows flexibility — tweaks can be made quickly to improve feel, stability, or performance.

This is where skill lives. And yes, this part is very science-forward.

Reiki does not replace formulation discipline. It sits on top of it.

Step Three: Reiki Infusion (Where Erin Comes In)-

Once the batch is fully formulated and stable, it’s time for the energetic layer.

This is where Erin — Reiki Master and integral part of the process — steps in.

During Reiki infusion, Erin focuses intentionally on the purpose of the product:

• calm

• restoration

• balance

• confidence

• self-support

The intention is never vague. It’s aligned with how the product is meant to feel when it’s used — not just what it’s meant to do on the skin.

Reiki energy is directed toward the batch during a dedicated infusion phase. This isn’t rushed. It’s quiet, focused, and intentional.

No background multitasking. No distractions. Just presence.

This step is about setting the energetic tone of the product — so when someone opens a jar, that calm, grounded feeling is already there.

Step Four: Crystal Support (Intentional, Not Decorative)-

Crystals used during the process are chosen intentionally and cleansed regularly. They aren’t aesthetic props — they’re energetic tools.

Different stones are selected based on the product’s purpose, often focusing on:

• calming the nervous system

• encouraging balance

• supporting self-love and confidence

• grounding scattered energy

Crystals are used to support the infusion process, not overpower it. They act as anchors — holding the intention steady while the energy work is performed.

Nothing here is random. And nothing is included “just because it looks nice.”

Step Five: Final Check + Human Touch-

Before a product ever reaches you, it’s checked again:

• texture

• consistency

• scent

• fill level

• overall feel

Labels are applied. Jars are handled. Products are packaged by human hands — not a conveyor belt.

This matters.

Because care is cumulative. Every step contributes to the final experience — not just the ingredient list.

Why This Process Matters:

This layered approach — formulation, intention, energy, and care — is what makes these products feel different.

Not louder.
Not trendier.
Different.

It’s skincare that respects:

• the skin barrier

• the nervous system

• the emotional experience of care

And it’s built for people who want more than just results — they want their self-care to feel supportive too.

Ritual Reflection:
The next time you use one of our products, pause for a breath before applying. That calm you feel? It was intentional.

When you choose skincare, choose makers who honor both the science of skin and the experience of care. That combination is rare — and powerful. And it drives every single thing we do here at This Little Light of Mine Skincare.
