The brief this store was built from
Nettle Hollow is a two room skincare workshop above a hardware store in Athens, Ohio. Priya started it after nine years as a compounding pharmacy technician, where she learned how much of an average jar is water and preservative. Everything here is steeped and blended in batches of forty jars, dated on the base, and sold within eight months of that date. The nettle and calendula come off four acres in Meigs County and dry in a barn loft rather than an oven.
- Product
- Calendula Balm, 50ml, $34
- About it
- A stiff balm of loft dried calendula steeped six weeks in cold pressed sunflower oil, then set with beeswax from three hives in the same county. It sits on the skin instead of sinking straight in, which is the whole point on a cracked knuckle in February.
- Brand facts
- Batches are forty jars, dated on the base of each jar, and sold within eight months of the press date. Nettle and calendula grow on four acres in Meigs County and dry in a barn loft, never in an oven. No jar lists water above the third ingredient, so a 50ml jar holds 50ml of oil, butter and wax.
- Style
- Wellness. Wellness/health — ultra-wide logo spacing, green accent
Who this theme is for
A maker selling something you put on your skin, where the buyer wants to read the ingredient list before they want to see the jar. Balms, oils, soap, tinctures, tea, supplements, anything sold on what is inside it and how recently it was made. The wide letter spaced logo and the calm green give a page the tone of a pharmacy rather than a boutique, and the layout leaves room for a long paragraph of sourcing under a short product name. It suits a shop with four to thirty products and photographs taken on a real bench.
What was decided in the brief
The style is Wellness on the deeper green variant rather than the sage one. Skincare photography is pale, wet and low contrast, so a soft sage interface would let the whole page drift toward one grey tone: the saturated olive holds the edges of the page and the gold accent carries price and add to cart so the buying action never gets lost in the beige. The three brand facts sit as three separate lines under the hero because batch size, sourcing and ingredient order are three different questions, and burying two of them inside a paragraph loses the two that answer the doubt. Backgrounds stay warm off white so a jar of yellow balm does not read as dirty against a cool page.
What is in the ZIP
- A single-product homepage: hero, trust strip, benefits, how-to-use or specs, reviews, final call to action.
- The whole store shell: product, collection, cart, search and 404 templates, header, footer, announcement bar.
- Valid Shopify 2.0 sections with schema, so every line of text is editable in the Shopify editor.
- The photos you see in the preview, ready to swap for your own.
Questions
- Is this Shopify theme really free to download?
- Yes. You get a complete Shopify 2.0 theme ZIP and no account is needed. In your Shopify admin open Online Store, then Themes, then Add theme, then Upload zip file.
- Where do I put an ingredient list so it does not crowd the product page?
- Use the product description for the short version and a collapsible row underneath for the full INCI list. The theme styles that row already, so a long list stays one tap away instead of pushing the add to cart button off the first screen.
- Can I change the green to my own color?
- Yes. The palette is five settings in the theme editor. Change the primary and the buttons, the header, the links and the section rules all move with it, because no color is hardcoded in the CSS.
