Why aren’t OM Botanical products white, like other skin care products?

Most natural ingredients, like unrefined cold-pressed oils, herbs, and botanical extracts, aren’t white. At OM Botanical, we embrace nature’s authentic beauty, which means no chemical processing, bleaching, or artificial additives like dyes, fillers, or perfumes. The natural tints and earthy fragrances of our products reflect the purity and integrity of our ingredients. Celebrate the beauty of skincare that stays true to its roots - naturally vibrant and genuinely effective!

Where are OM Botanical products made?

We proudly make all our products in the USA! Unlike many skin care brands that rely on mass production in overseas factories, we formulate and manufacture everything in our own facility in North Carolina. Each product is hand-crafted in small batches, which means you may notice slight variations from time to time. But rest assured, the quality, purity, and effectiveness of our products remain our top priority.

How long should I use OM Botanical products before I see results?

Because our products are made with natural, full-spectrum botanical ingredients, your skin may need a little time to detox and adjust. With some products, like our One Step Face Cleanser, you’ll notice improvements right away. However, for most of our skincare items, it typically takes about 2–4 weeks of consistent use to see the full benefits. Patience pays off when it comes to truly natural, skin-loving care!

From where do you source your ingredients?

We source our ingredients from all over the world, ensuring we find the very best nature has to offer. For instance, our ayurvedic ingredients come from 3-farm cooperative in Indore, India. This partnership not only supports traditional farming practices but ensures that our ingredients are fresh, potent, and aligned with Ayurvedic principles. We also seek out oils, botanicals, and extracts from regions renowned for their excellence - like unrefined Shea butter from Africa, sake kasu (rice extract) from Asia, and magnesium chloride from the Dead Sea. Every step of our sourcing process reflects our commitment to sustainability, ethical partnerships, and delivering skincare that’s both effective and respectful to the planet.

Are OM Botanical products cruelty-free?

Yes. We’re passionate about animal welfare and firmly oppose animal testing. All our products are 100% cruelty-free and vegan. We also carefully source our ingredients from suppliers who share our strict ethical standards - values upheld by our vegan founder. With us, you can feel good about skincare that’s kind to animals and the planet.

Are OM Botanical products safe for kids?

Absolutely! Our products are made with natural, unprocessed ingredients and are free from harmful chemicals, dyes, fillers, and synthetic fragrances. This makes them gentle and safe for kids' delicate skin. Because we believe skincare should be as kind and nurturing as nature itself, our formulations are perfect for the whole family - little ones included!

Are OM Botanical products microbiome friendly?

Of course. Unlike chemical laden mainstream beauty products that destroy your healthy microbiome and cause chemical induced dysbiosis, OM Botanical products are gentle on your beneficial microbiome and made with plant-based prebiotics for them to flourish in. Healthy microbiome is your first defence against external pathogens and related skin conditions.

Best Ayurvedic Face Moisturizers for Healthy Skin

Finding a moisturizer that feels gentle yet works deep is a daily battle. We’ve pulled together the most balanced Ayurvedic options that actually keep skin happy.

1. Sulfate-free Ayurvedic Shampoo

This aloe‑based cleanser is meant for the scalp, but the same soothing formula works great as a gentle facial wash for sensitive skin. It cleans without stripping, thanks to plant‑derived surfactants that lift grime while keeping natural oils intact.

We love that it Sulfate‑free Ayurvedic Shampoo is pH‑balanced and free of harsh detergents, so it won’t upset a delicate skin barrier. The light herbal scent comes from natural essential oils, not synthetic fragrances.

Best for anyone with an itchy or flaky scalp who also wants a mild face rinse. It can replace a separate cleanser if you prefer a one‑step routine.

One thing to note: the foamy lather is softer than typical shampoos, so you may need a little extra time to work it through.

And because it’s aloe‑rich, it adds a quick dose of moisture before you follow with a dedicated moisturizer.

When you’re done, rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry. The scalp feels calm and the face stays refreshed.

For those who love a plant‑first routine, this shampoo sets a gentle tone for the rest of the day.

2. Daily Moisturizer

Our Daily Moisturizer is an aloe‑based cream that gives balanced hydration without a greasy feel. It also carries a mineral‑based SPF15, so you get a bit of sun protection while you moisturize.

The formula absorbs cleanly, thanks to aloe and cucumber peel, and it helps calm redness thanks to the mineral blend.

It’s a solid pick for sensitive skin because there are no pore‑clogging fillers. The SPF15 adds a layer of environmental support without the heavy white cast of typical sunscreens.

Check out the product page for full ingredient details: Daily Moisturizer with SPF for Soft, Protected Skin.

Best for daily use on all skin types, especially those prone to irritation. It works well under makeup and after light exercise.

A small caveat: if you have very oily skin, you might prefer a lighter gel in summer, but the non‑greasy texture usually stays comfortable.

According to Wikipedia’s overview of the skin microbiome, keeping the barrier intact helps maintain a healthy microbial community, and this moisturizer’s gentle formula supports that goal.

3. Basic Face Care Duo

The Basic Face Care Duo bundles a gentle exfoliating cleanser with our Daily Moisturizer. It’s designed as a starter kit for anyone new to Ayurvedic skin care.

Inside the set you get a one‑step face cleanser that lifts dirt without harsh scrubbing, followed by the lightweight Daily Moisturizer that locks in moisture.

Best for beginners, teens, or anyone who wants a simple two‑step routine that still delivers plant‑based benefits.

We’ve priced the duo at $50.40, which saves about 10 % compared to buying the pieces separately.

One limitation: the exfoliating cleanser contains mild fruit enzymes, so those with extremely reactive skin should patch test first.

Key Takeaway: The duo gives you a complete clean‑and‑moisturize loop without any extra steps.

When you’re ready to upgrade, explore our full face moisturizer collection for more options.

4. Complete Face Cleanser

Complete Face Cleanser is a creamy, non‑foaming wash that removes oil, dirt and buildup while staying microbiome‑friendly.

It uses papaya and pineapple enzymes to exfoliate gently, which helps keep pores clear without the sting of strong acids.

Best for sensitive, acne‑prone or reactive skin that needs a calm, thorough cleanse.

Because it’s aloe‑based, the skin feels soft after rinsing, not tight.

A possible downside: the enzymatic action can feel a bit tingly at first, but that fades after a few uses.

Use it morning and night for steady results. Pair it with a light moisturizer for best barrier support.

Research on plant enzymes shows they can break down dead skin cells without irritating the skin’s natural flora ( Wikipedia’s entry on Ayurveda notes the long history of fruit enzymes in skin care).

5. Advanced Age Defying set for 50s+

This set is a full regimen aimed at mature skin. It includes the One Step Face Cleanser, a Vitamin C serum, an antioxidant night oil, an eye cream with peptides, a magnesium body lotion and more.

All formulas are plant‑based, full‑spectrum Ayurvedic extracts and are designed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone.

Best for anyone in their 50s or older who wants a complete anti‑aging routine without synthetic actives.

The set saves roughly 10 % versus buying each product alone, making it a value‑packed option.

One thing to keep in mind: the night oil is richer, so you may want to use it only in the evening.

Explore the set here: Advanced Age Defying Set.

If you prefer a single‑product focus, the Young & Bright Peptide Cream offers similar anti‑aging benefits in one jar.
