Thanks so much. I love your products. I use the Purify Facial Cleanser, the Soothing Facial Mist, Rescue Acne Cream and Boost Balance Moisturiser. In the past I have used a number of expensive skincare products but your product gives me the best result (my skin has never been so good) and it's so inexpensive, i really don't understand how you manage to make your products so affordable. My beauty routine is now really simply and my skin is so healthy. I'm recommending your products to all my friends.......Lauren Skarott

To be Organically Certified or not?

At Botáni, we are often asked about organic certification. Are our products organic? Do we have Organic certification? Why don't we?

After consultation with professionals in the cosmetic/skincare field, we have decided against going down this path.

There are many different organizations that offer certification in Australia, all with different requirements and ideals of what constitutes "organic". As there is no regulating body in this field, they can make up their own rules and make claims of organic when there may in fact be a very small percentage of organic materials in a product.

So then, we question, what does it actually mean to be organic?

Consumers are very savvy these days and they want the facts, they want honesty in the packaging and labeling of products. As we are aware that there are very few skin care products that can possibly be 100% organic, we don't want to mislead our consumers by making an organic claim.

Botáni is committed to using organic certified ingredients wherever possible and our percentage of organic ingredients in excess of what is required by organic bodies. When we promote a product as being Organic you can be certain that 100% of the ingredients that are in the product are indeed organic.

More details can be found of organic certification on our website. We thank Derio Comar and renowned microbiologist in the field of cosmetic and pharmaceuticals for this informative article. click here to read "What does a claim of ‘Organic" mean for Cosmetics ?"

Skin Health

We all want beautiful soft smooth skin especially when the warmer weather is heading our way. Step one in achieving radiant glowing skin is exfoliation - removing all the dead skin layers.

However exfoliating is not just about having beautiful skin, but also about keeping it healthy. The skin is made up of several layers, which mature and develop from bottom to top. As the bottom layers develop they push the older layers to the surface. As this is a continual process the top layers die as new cells as produced.

Exfoliating removes these dead cells oxidates the skin and reveals the fresher smooth layer. By regular exfoliating you remove this dead layer and clear the skin of impurities that may case infections. Exfoliating before hair removal (especially the bikini line) can help to prevent in-grown hairs. The regular massage movement may also assist with circulation and moving the underneath fat layers that cause cellulite.

Some areas of the body where circulation is slower, such as legs and arms, dead skin cells can build up and will require some extra focus.

So what is the best way to exfoliate?

First of all take a shower or bath and clean the skin with a natural ph balanced cleanser such as PhytoBody Wash or Eco-Clear Body Bar.

Step out of the shower, while your skin is still wet, apply Spirulina Salt Scrub using the palm of your hand. Start at your feet and work your way up using a gentle circular upward massaging motions. Then move to your arms, back, shoulders and chest.

Once you have treated your whole body, and then jump back under the shower and rinse.

Your body will now be soft and smooth and more receptive to mosituirsation with PhytoBody Lotion. If you do this once or twice a week, throughout the year, you will always have beautiful silky skin
