Why moisturiser stops working

Most skincare is 70 to 80% water. Once it dries, what's left is fragrance, preservatives, and a thin film of actives. That's why your face feels tight an hour later. Skin Botanist removes the water entirely. Every drop is a botanical oil, butter or wax your skin can actually use. Harder to make. Slower to blend. We do it anyway.

WHY SKIN BOTANIST

Less in the formula. More for your skin.

We choose botanical oils, butters and waxes for what they contribute to the formula, then list every ingredient in full. The result is concentrated skincare, sustainably handcrafted in Victoria, without unnecessary fillers.
