Who We Are

Our Story

Founded in 2017, Body Botaniques is about going back to basics. We believe that nature is the best supermarket to provide the simplest but most trusted and effective ingredients. Body Botaniques was born out of necessity, curiosity and the enthusiastic spirit of our founder.

 

"For years, I struggled with dry skin, eczema flare ups and endless issues with my hair growth. Nothing on the market ever seemed to give me lasting results. With my love for DIY, holistic living and handcrafting, I decided to experiment with ingredients found in my kitchen and garden. It was slow. It was messy. But the results - Mind-blowing! As a qualified Chemical Engineer, I understand the science behind how ingredients interact with each other. Over the years, I have conducted extensive research to understand natural actives, restorative properties of botanicals and how plant compounds can support the skin and hair's natural biology. My formulations have evolved and worked so well for me, I just had to share them with the world." - Alina Malungane
