Naturopathica

Naturopathica

Our goals were to pair the credibility of age-old natural wisdom with current science, and to position founder Barbara Close as an educator who knows a great deal about skincare and wellness (albeit without a medical degree). We developed a new brand visual language, merging the traditional apothecary bottle (rectangle, cobalt blue) with a contemporary aesthetic.

To conserve space, we took the old logo and redrew it on a straight line. We also created a secondary mark (seen on side of package) that was raised out of the sides of the rectangular bottles, referencing old apothecary bottles. We obtained images from the University and Jepson Herbaria at UC Berkeley, which houses two voluminous collections of pressed plants.

PACKAGING

The imagery on each package presents a detail from an actual botanical, representing a key ingredient. Custom-molded rectangular bottles, made with eco-responsible material, speak to the tradition of apothecary.
