What's in the bottle — and why it's there.
I don't use ingredients as decoration.
Every active in a Love Botanics formula is chosen because it does something real, at a concentration that allows it to work.
Here's what you'll find, and what it means for your skin.
Bakuchiol:
Every product is formulated and produced in small batches. I oversee the process hands-on, from ingredient sourcing to finished formula. I hold myself to European skincare standards — not because it's a marketing point, but because I believe the women buying my products deserve that level of rigor.
I use active ingredients: bakuchiol, snail secretion filtrate, saffron, collagen-supporting botanicals. Ingredients with research behind them, used at levels where they can actually work.
I choose hormone-conscious formulations because many of the women I create for are navigating perimenopause, hormonal shifts, or simply want to know their skincare isn't adding to their body's load.
Snail Secretion Filtrate:
One of the most well-researched actives in natural skincare. Rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid, snail filtrate supports skin repair, hydration, and regeneration. It's the hero of our Eye Cream — a delicate area that responds beautifully to consistent, gentle actives.
Saffron:
Beyond its luminous colour, saffron contains compounds that visibly even skin tone, calm inflammation, and bring a radiance to skin that synthetic brighteners rarely match. Used in the Silk and Saffron Serum at a meaningful concentration.
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Sources:
We use plant-based ingredients that support the skin's natural moisture-binding ability — drawing hydration from the environment and locking it in across multiple skin layers.
Aromatherapeutic Botanicals: =
The scent of a Love Botanics product is never an afterthought. Essential oils are chosen for their skin-active properties as well as their effect on the nervous system. A moment of calm built into your routine.

What you won't find here
Synthetic fragrances. Hormone-disrupting preservatives. Ingredients included for label appeal at concentrations too low to function. Fear-based marketing dressed up as ingredient science.
A Note on 'Natural'
Natural is not a guarantee of safety or efficacy — and I've never pretended otherwise.
What matters is whether an ingredient works, whether it's appropriate for the skin it's going on, and whether it's been formulated thoughtfully.
That's the standard I hold myself to.
