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.

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!

EXPERIENCE

A glow that comes from protection, not irritation

Product

Our aloe-based Vitamin C serum feels lightweight, silky, and fast-absorbing on the skin. Unlike many Vitamin C formulas that can feel sticky or harsh, it layers comfortably into your daily routine while delivering antioxidant support throughout the day.

Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, and Rutin work together to help brighten and protect the skin while aloe vera and tremella mushroom help keep the formula comfortable for daily use.

Designed for daily use, this serum supports a healthier-looking complexion by helping defend against the environmental stressors that contribute to dullness, uneven tone, and visible aging.
What to expect

Short term
Skin feels smooth, hydrated, and refreshed with a healthy-looking glow.

Over time
With consistent use, skin may appear brighter, firmer, and more even-toned. Areas of discoloration and dullness can gradually become less noticeable while overall radiance improves.

If you've used other Vitamin C serums
This formula is designed to provide the benefits of Vitamin C without the irritation often associated with highly acidic formulations. The aloe-based formula and supporting antioxidants help create a gentler daily experience for a wide range of skin types.
Use

Apply a few drops to clean skin morning or evening after cleansing.
Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed.
Follow with moisturizer. During the day, finish with sunscreen to help protect against UV exposure and support long-term skin health.
Lightweight enough to layer under other skincare products and comfortable enough for daily use.

APPROACH

Vitamin C works better with support

Most Vitamin C serums rely on a single antioxidant to brighten and protect the skin.

But Vitamin C is naturally sensitive to light, air, and environmental stress. At the same time, your skin faces oxidative stress from many sources every day, including sun exposure, pollution, and normal metabolic processes.

That's why we pair Vitamin C with Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, and Rutin. Together, these four antioxidants help support one another while providing broader protection against the factors that contribute to dullness, uneven tone, and visible signs of aging.

The result is a gentle, aloe-based serum designed to help brighten skin, support collagen production, and maintain a healthy-looking glow over time.

Four-antioxidant protection

Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, and Rutin work together to provide broader antioxidant support than Vitamin C alone, helping defend against everyday environmental stress.

Stabilized for lasting effectiveness

Ferulic Acid and Rutin help support the stability of Vitamin C, allowing the formula to maintain its potency and effectiveness over time.

Brightens while supporting skin health

Rather than relying on aggressive exfoliation or harsh actives, this formula helps improve radiance and skin tone through daily antioxidant support that works with your skin.

WHATS INSIDE MATTERS

Acerola cherries provide natural Vitamin C to help collagen production, brighten skin tone, and improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation. It works to defend against free-radical damage while supporting a radiant complexion.
