Grove is a storefront theme for natural skin and body care brands, soap makers, aromatherapy, herbal teas and wellness shops. It sells rituals, not shelves: every product and category image sits in an arch, product cards carry a round botanical ingredient seal and the Latin name of the key ingredient, categories become four staggered ritual arches, a ritual steps block adds a three-product routine to the bag with one button, an ingredient spotlight turns circular text round a botanical disc, and the footer ends with a giant italic wordmark.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- The Grove theme, a child of the standard Responsive theme, so every add-on keeps working.
- Four styles that change the hero, corners, card rims, type weight and bands, not only the colours:
- Oat (default): oat paper, forest ink, terracotta buttons, marigold sun, sage arches, pill buttons.
- Fern: pale leaf ground with a full-width deep fern hero band, apricot accents, white header, 6 px corners, hairline card rims, upright accent words.
- Rosehip: blush ground with a blush hero band, burgundy ink and footer, rosehip red buttons, soft card shadows, 26 px corners.
- Dusk: the evening ritual: night-forest ground, cream type, marigold and ember accents, lamp-lit arches.
- Arch cards: tinted arch wells with a floating disc that rises on hover, ingredient seal, size and rating row, Cormorant name, italic Latin key ingredient, price and an “Add to cart” link; quick size chips on hover for products with a size option.
- Ritual arches block template for any Categories block (three or four staggered, numbered arches).
- Ritual steps block template for any Products block: three products as numbered steps with timings, a set box with the sum of the prices and one button that adds all three to the cart.
- Arch grid block template for product sections (label, title, “Shop all” link, three or four columns).
- Homepage: hero with an arch, sun, botanicals and a rotating ring seal, “shop by concern” pills, ritual arches, bestsellers, ritual steps, ingredient spotlight with four garden seals, journal and customer quotes, four promises, a newsletter band with an arch illustration and the footer wordmark.
- Category pages: a wide arch with the category image, three-column arch grid and a “not sure where to start?” arch tile inside the grid.
- Product pages: arch gallery with arch thumbnails and a ring seal, Latin name, size tiles, a note under the buy button, claim icons, a “What is inside” band with ingredient seals, “How to use” steps, reviews and “Pairs well with”.
- Mega menu with a “More” item, sticky header, mobile bottom bar, sticky buy bar and filter sheet on phones, subtle animations (off for visitors who prefer reduced motion).
- Full demo content on activation: the theme’s own catalogue (34 products in 6 categories, ingredient features, reviews, journal posts and a menu) with generated botanical illustrations.
- Self-hosted fonts (Cormorant Garamond and Jost, SIL Open Font License): no external font requests.
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”- CS-Cart (incl. Ultimate) and Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x (tested on 4.17.2 and 4.21.2).

Licence
Section titled “Licence”Grove uses a domain-bound licence like every Kavio Labs product. Without a valid licence (after the 14-day period of a new installation, or 14 days after the licence server became unreachable) the storefront shows the standard Responsive look instead of the Grove design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message.
