High in the Galilee, in the village of Kfar Shamai, Tal Rachel Atias looks to the herbs, flowers, trees, and fertile earth around her for the ingredients and inspiration behind Rachella Cosmetica. After years of studying natural cosmetics, reflexology, and holistic healing, Tal Rachel founded her company in 2016 with a conviction that’s deeply expressive of her faith: the Creator placed within nature a remarkable abundance for us to discover and use with care.

Her home has grown into a gathering place for women from the surrounding area, with evenings devoted to yoga and dance, workshops exploring the natural world, and gatherings filled with Jewish poetry and conversation. It is from this intimate Galilee setting that Tal Rachel develops her handmade skincare, incorporating the plants and practices she has studied for years.

Journey Foot Cream was created for tired feet at the end of a long day, with botanical ingredients selected to soothe, soften, and nourish the skin. Massage it generously into your feet after a warm shower or before bed, as the cream sinks into the skin and you finally give your feet the rest they have earned.

Its name has particular resonance in this month’s box. Rachel’s life unfolded along a long and winding road, from the young shepherdess we first meet beside a well to the beloved Matriarch buried beside the road near Bethlehem. During Sukkot, as we recall the long journey of our ancestors through the wilderness toward the Land of Israel, Tal Rachel’s Journey Foot Cream offers a small invitation to care for the feet that carry us along our own roads.
