Nature, Measured: The Story Behind Northland Remedies
Posted by Scott VanOrsdol on Jun 15th 2026
Every great product begins with a problem looking for a better solution. For us, that problem was the lack of consistency, transparency, and true scientific backing in the natural wellness space.
We saw a market filled with massive corporate operations on one side, and well-meaning but unmeasured kitchen-counter DIYs on the other. We knew there had to be a better way to bridge the gap—a way to combine the pure, restorative power of botanical ingredients with the uncompromising standards of a professional laboratory.
That is why we founded Northland Remedies.
Where the Lab Meets the Northwoods
Our roots are right here in Minnesota, and our foundation is built on two distinct life paths: a decade of experience in clinical microbiology and laboratory science, paired with the discipline and grit of a veteran and engineer.
When you spend years working under strict laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), precision becomes second nature. You learn that a formula is only as good as its consistency, and that quality control isn't a buzzword, it is a safety requirement.
We brought that exact mindset to the apothecary bench.
We don't guess. We measure, test, and refine. When we set out to create a high-potency magnesium lotion or a targeted arnica recovery salve, we didn't just look for what smelled good. We looked at the cellular science of skin absorption, the stability of the emulsion, and the purity of the raw botanical extracts.
Small Batches, High Standards
At Northland Remedies, "small-batch" isn't a marketing gimmick. It’s how we maintain absolute control over every single jar, bottle, and roller that leaves our facility.
-
Rigorous Formulation: We source premium, clean, plant-based carrier oils and botanical extracts, combining them with pure, THC-free CBD and CBG isolates.
-
Lab-Tested Transparency: Because of our clinical backgrounds, independent third-party lab testing is a non-negotiable for us. If we say a specific cannabinoid or mineral is in there at a high potency, we have the paperwork to prove it.
-
Handcrafted in Minnesota: Our products are designed for active recovery, skin wellness, and daily relief, built to withstand the elements and support your body’s natural resilience.
