The atelier
Skincare written in two hands.
One belongs to Anja, a botanist who spent eleven years cataloguing medicinal plants in Switzerland and Provence. The other belongs to Stefan, a board-certified dermatologist who has seen the back of twenty-six years of formulation trends. Plate & Stem is what happens at their kitchen table.
Our farms
Five names we say out loud.
We grow nothing ourselves. We work with five farms — selected for their soil reports, their workers, and the way they pick at six in the morning when the oils are still in the leaves.

Our science
Tested before they reach you.
Every formula goes through a 12-week, dermatologist-supervised panel of 41 sensitivity-prone participants. We publish the raw data — not just the marketing slide — in every product's dossier.

“A clean ingredient list does not make a clean product. A short one, with names you can pronounce, comes closer.”
