The Iris & Elm Story

 My name is Ashley McDaniel, owner/operator of Iris & Elm. Iris & Elm was founded in 2023 during a period of my life where self care and healing were very much needed. By taking the time to support and nurture myself, I found peace, purpose and a light within that I had forgotten was there. This journey reconnected me to my true path and purpose of supporting others on their own individual self love and care journeys.

The healing I received with the use of aromatherapy and the practices of Ayurveda, led me to create my own natural products. The more I researched, the more fascinated I became by the power of various herbs, oils, fruit and vegetable powders as components for a healthy and balanced mind, body and spirit as well as a glowing complexion. This fascination and need to learn even more led me to enroll in Maharishi International University where I am currently pursuing my MS in Ayurveda & Aromatherapy. I am so excited to translate this knowledge into my products and support you on your self love and care journey. I continuously pride myself on creating personalized, hand-made and small-batch skincare products using ingredients selected with purpose and intention. It is my heart's wish that when you use my products, you feel supported and radiant.
