About us

Wayward Chickadee was born in 2018 from a journey — across oceans, mountains, and forests — that led us from Switzerland to Maine. Here, between the rugged coast and the deep woods, we found the inspiration to create simple, plant-based care for body and home.

Our products reflect both worlds: the purity of Maine’s wild nature and the quiet traditions of Switzerland. Natural ingredients, thoughtful design, and a respect for the land we live in—each product is a reminder that daily rituals can be both gentle and meaningful.

Wayward Chickadee is our family’s way of sharing these places we love with the world.

Each product is crafted in small batches, close to the land and true to the people we create for.

The Environment

Nature is our guide and our responsibility. We avoid plastic, choose recyclable and biodegradable materials, and design with tomorrow in mind—so the world we share can remain a place of beauty for generations to come.
