Botanicals product inspired by nature, they strive to harness the power of plants, and reflect their belief that mother natural really does know best.
Their products contain no artificial colours, fragrances or preservatives. All products and ingredients are cruelty free, meet ‘Humane Cosmetics Standard’ criteria, and are suitable for vegetarians.Botanicals was the brain child of Wendy whose daughter suffered a reaction to a ‘herbal’ shampoo that on closer inspection was stuffed full of SLS, SLES and Parabans following on from that the next year was spent researching, creating of labels and the website until Botanicals was finally born.
I was sent three pots of three of their different lines to have a look at, the small size of them means I can’t really give anything of a review to how these work long term but what I can give is first impressions.
Made with 95% Natural ingredients this hand lotion smells divine, I may have said it 100 times and I’m sure I’ll say it 100 more I love the smell of lavender it reminds me of happy times in my childhood. This lotion is infused with aloe vera, shea butter, calendula extract and a touch of tea tree. As you rub the lotion in you really are surrounded by the scent, almost as though you have just disturbed some long flowering buds, it sinks in quickly and leaves your skin feeling moisturised yet not so sticky, almost as though it has wrapped it in a protective layer. A full size pump bottle (140g) costs £15.95 and can be brought from the website.
