Not all botanicals work for all skin. Here’s which plants belong in your routine — based on your skin type.
Dry Skin: Rich Oils and Humectants
Look for avocado oil, shea butter, squalane (derived from olives), and honey. These ingredients lock in moisture and repair the skin barrier. Rosehip oil is also excellent — it hydrates without feeling heavy.
Oily Skin: Light, Balancing Botanicals
Contrary to intuition, oily skin needs oil — just the right kind. Jojoba oil mimics your skin’s natural sebum and can actually regulate oil production. Tea tree oil is antibacterial. Witch hazel tones without stripping.
Sensitive Skin: The Gentle Squad
Chamomile, calendula, colloidal oatmeal, and aloe vera. These are the gentlest ingredients in nature’s pharmacy. If your skin reacts to everything, start here. Avoid essential oils — they’re too strong for reactive skin.
