Why Botanical Essences?

Botanical essences are concentrated extracts from plants, roots, flowers, and fruits. Each essence contains the life force of the plant, including a complex blend of bioactive compounds that offer multiple benefits for skin health. These compounds may include antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and other plant nutrients that have proven therapeutic properties.

Types of Botanical Essences

1. Essential Oils: These are volatile, aromatic compounds extracted primarily through steam distillation. Lavender, tea tree, and rosemary are popular essential oils in skincare.
2. Plant Extracts: These are usually non-volatile and extracted through various methods to harness specific plant nutrients. Examples include green tea extracts and calendula.
3. Herbal Tinctures: These are liquid extracts often used for their therapeutic properties. Chamomile and witch hazel are frequently used tinctures in skincare.

The Benefits of Botanicals in Skincare

Antioxidant Rich

One of the remarkable benefits of botanical essences is their high antioxidant content. Antioxidants protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays. Our Radiance Booster Serum is fortified with natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), which are potent antioxidants.

Anti-Inflammatory

Many botanicals possess anti-inflammatory properties that help to soothe redness and irritation. Our Intensive Care Skin Balm, infused with chamomile and rose geranium, provides immediate relief for irritated skin.

Hydration and Moisturisation

Botanical essences like hyaluronic acid derived from plants or fatty acids from oils like jojoba can provide intense hydration. Our Whipped Glow Moisturiser, enriched with jojoba and organic honey, is an example of botanical-based hydration at its best.
