The Power of Botanicals

Botanical skin care products are increasingly gaining popularity and becoming important to those who refuse to risk their health for beauty. If you too are considering switching to toxin-free skin care created with botanical ingredients, here are some fundamentals that may help in making the right choice:

What are Botanicals?

Botanical (or Botanic) refers to a substance obtained or derived from a plant. Many varieties of plants possess healing and regenerative properties. They also contain essential oils, vitamins, and antioxidants that have been scientifically proven to benefit the human skin. Since ancient times, various herbs and botanical extracts (with protective and beautifying properties) were used as cosmetics and skin care treatments. Combined with modern scientific research, these natural ingredients are now used more effectively in Botanical Skincare.

How is Botanical Skincare Beneficial?

Botanical Skincare essentially means using skin products made of plant-based natural ingredients containing extracts from: flowers, herbs, seed oils, roots, fruit acids, leaves and bark.

• Feeding the skin with non-toxic, plant-powered ingredients provides optimal levels of skin nutrition and helps to truly transform the appearance and overall health of skin.
• Moreover, botanically based skin products are generally safer and gentler on skin and are often absorbed better by the body than unnatural chemicals.
• Also, since botanical extracts are used in a concentrated form, only a small percentage is actually needed to see maximum benefits.
• Most importantly, botanical products are not just great for You but are also work favourable for the environment. Unlike lab-made chemicals (which pollute and destroy the environmental balance), these plant-based ingredients come from nature and return to nature (as their residual waste etc. is bio-degradable or can be easily recycled).
