FAQ
Orpine tincture is a liquid herbal preparation made from fresh orpine herb (Sedum maximum), combining both wild and cultivated plants and prepared using the traditional cold maceration method. This gentle process helps preserve a broad spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, along with the characteristic freshness and vitality of the plant.
The alcohol concentration is carefully adjusted to suit the properties of fresh orpine. The lower alcohol content allows for balanced extraction of water-soluble and other naturally occurring compounds, resulting in a gentle, well-rounded herbal extract that retains the plant’s natural character.
Our orpine comes from Slovenia, where it is either organically cultivated or responsibly harvested from the wild. Each plant is carefully harvested by hand, with respect for its natural rhythms and the environment, ensuring the quality of the finished product.

Orpine (Sedum maximum)
Orpine is a fleshy, succulent plant that thrives in sunny conditions and tolerates drought and poor soils. Its thick leaves and sturdy growth reflect its remarkable vitality, making it a plant often associated with resilience, regeneration and quiet perseverance.
It belongs to the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae).
In herbalism, we primarily use the fresh aerial parts (herba). Freshness is particularly important when working with orpine, as the plant naturally contains a high amount of moisture and has a characteristic succulent texture.
An interesting feature of orpine is that it grows both in the wild and in cultivation, with both forms sharing very similar characteristics. Its Latin name, Sedum, is associated with the word “to sit” or “to settle”, reflecting the way the plant establishes itself in dry, rocky places. It is often found in gardens, on old stone walls, in rock gardens and along sunny borders, thriving even where many other plants would struggle to survive.
Orpine has a long history of both internal and external use. In traditional folk herbalism, it has often been included in preparations intended to support skin health, promote a sense of balance and encourage the body’s natural renewal processes.
Today, we particularly value orpine for its distinctive fresh and succulent character. Its use is rooted in tradition, practical herbal knowledge and respect for a plant that combines remarkable resilience with an unexpected gentleness.

Is orpine suitable for sensitive skin?
Orpine is traditionally regarded as a gentle herb and is often used in the care of sensitive skin. However, we recommend testing it on a small area of skin before applying it more widely.
What is the difference between cultivated and wild orpine?
Cultivated and wild orpine (Sedum maximum) share very similar characteristics, as they belong to the same species or closely related plants. The main difference lies in their growing environment and the conditions in which they develop.
Wild orpine grows naturally, often in poor, sunny soils, where it develops its characteristic resilience. Cultivated orpine, on the other hand, grows in a carefully managed environment with more consistent growing conditions.
In herbal practice, the two can complement each other. Combining wild and cultivated orpine may contribute to a more diverse botanical profile, bringing together the variety of natural growing environments and the consistency of cultivated plants.
