Welcome to The 420 Formulator – where holistic healing converges with authentic experience. I’m a trained aromatherapist and naturopath with decades of experience in holistic health. I also use cannabis daily and grow my own. I have witnessed the profound healing, calming effects, and confidence-boosting qualities of cannabis firsthand. My mission is to guide you in using it safely and effectively. This site offers reliable recipes, guides, and products to utilise cannabis for skincare, pain relief, improved sleep, and more. I’ll show you how to craft cannabis-infused products that nourish, soothe, and empower. I’m also the author of Off Your Face Creams.
