Discover how herbs, oils, and earth’s gentle remedies can help you glow—naturally, sustainably, and beautifully.

When it comes to beauty, I’ve always been more passionate about skincare than makeup. Skincare, to me, is an act of self-care—about nurturing and maintaining your natural, unique appearance rather than covering it up. Whether you’re addressing specific skin concerns or simply looking to personalize your routine through a holistic approach, this space offers a comprehensive look into beneficial ingredients, the science behind them, and the art of DIY recipes.

After college, I was fortunate to begin my journey in the beauty industry as a cosmetic compounder (formerly known as a batch maker) at a skincare company. In this role, I manufactured skincare products from start to finish—gathering raw materials, blending and processing formulas, and preparing them for packaging and fulfillment. Though the work was physically demanding, it was deeply rewarding. I became familiar with a variety of raw ingredients—oils, powders, essential oils, hydrosols, and more—and learned how to operate specialized manufacturing equipment like homogenizers, while also managing production workflows through an ERP/MRP software. This experience gave me a behind-the-scenes look at how skincare products come to life.

Later, I continued to build on that foundation through a retail position with The Body Shop, a brand known for its body butters and ethically made skincare products. There, I guided customers through personalized product selections, listened to their needs, and recommended solutions that fit their goals. The experience sharpened my customer service and sales skills, while also helping me understand what people truly look for in their skincare routines—and which products resonate most.

With a well-rounded background in both manufacturing and retail, I was inspired to share what I’ve learned about skincare formulation, natural ingredients, and creative techniques with others who want to make their own beauty products. I created Botanical Beauty to share practical knowledge and inspire creativity—empowering you to craft skincare that works beautifully for you (or for others).

Let’s share, learn, and create something beautiful together. 🌸
