More and more cosmetics and skin care products include the words essential, natural, bio, botanical, and herbal in their product name or description connoting that the product is made from herbs or plants. Often times, however, the label is looked at and things like Octisalate, Octinoxate, Lyphazomes, Oxybenzone, are seen and it's hard to believe it is a natural product.

The word botanical in the health and beauty world refers to a plant extract or a part of a plant that is used in making a hair or skin product. It's more likely botanicals are used to make part of the product; however, it is possible that the entire product is made using botanicals.

For skin and hair care products there are no labeling requirements (unless it is considered a drug) so the contents of the skin care product could be any variation of things. To know if what you're getting is all that "botanical" read the ingredient label and learn the terms. You'll need to do this if what you are going for is an all out vegan-friendly, organic, purely botanical product.

Rest assured that in most cases nature will beat out any toxic or synthetic product so you will look your best with botanicals. If what you are looking for is just a skin care product that is down and dirty then these popular botanicals are worth checking out. Learn how nature can make your skin fit.
