On Crooked Island, local aloe and cascarilla are vital components of our wellness culture. We hand-harvest these botanicals to develop chemical-free, organic beauty solutions. Our mission is to transform raw island resources into restorative, plant-based remedies that nurture the skin and spirit of everyone from local residents to health-conscious travelers seeking authenticity and purity.
Unique Bahamian craftsmanship and functional artistry.
Beyond wellness, Heirloom Cottage Co. celebrates the rich heritage of Bahamian life through Rachel’s Creations. Each piece is a testament to the skill and soul of Crooked Island artisans, brought to life through traditional techniques passed down through generations. From the intricate weave of local straw to the delicate arrangement of native shells, our crafts tell a story of resilience, beauty, and the enduring spirit of our island home.

Meet the Maker
Grown, crafted, and rooted in Crooked Island.
Hello, I’m Rachel. My story is deeply intertwined with the quiet beauty and rich traditions of Crooked Island. After 40 years, I finally came home to the salt air and wisdom of our island. Now I spend my days crafting gentle skin rituals from the wild botanicals we’ve always loved here.
Nature's Tropical Touch and Rachel's Creations grew out of this lifelong connection to natural living. Every botanical formula begins with pure, simple intent—harvesting fresh aloe vera and wild herbs, and infusing local cascarilla leaves into small-batch salves, scrubs, and soaps.
Beyond my botanical studio, my passion for island artistry comes to life through hand‑woven straw work, shell art, and jewelry crafted from native shells, coconuts, and seeds.
Whether I’m preparing fresh aloe, blending plant oils, or weaving natural fibers into art, every single item is made by hand with intention, pride, and authentic island heart.
Thank you for welcoming a piece of our Bahamian home into yours.
