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.

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.

EXPERIENCE

A gentler path to smoother, firmer skin

Product

Bakuchiol Serum is our only oil-based serum, designed specifically for concerns like fine lines, uneven texture, loss of firmness, and visible signs of aging.

Bakuchiol is often called nature's retinol because it supports collagen production and skin renewal in similar ways, but without the dryness, peeling, or increased sun sensitivity many people experience with traditional retinoids.

The lightweight blend of jojoba, raspberry seed oil, olive-derived squalene, and astaxanthin absorbs surprisingly quickly, leaving skin soft, nourished, and comfortable.
What to expect

Short term
Skin feels softer, more nourished, and comfortably hydrated, with a smooth, healthy finish.

Over time
Fine lines may appear softer, skin texture may become more refined, and your complexion may look firmer and more even.

If retinol hasn't worked for you
Many customers who experienced redness, peeling, or sensitivity with retinol find they can use bakuchiol consistently. And consistency is often what drives long-term results.
Use

Shake well. Then apply a few drops to clean skin morning or evening after cleansing.

Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed.

Follow with moisturizer to help lock in hydration and support your skin barrier. In the evening, for additional nourishment, follow with our Antioxidant Night Oil.

A little goes a long way.

APPROACH

Consistency beats intensity

Retinol has become one of the most talked-about ingredients in skincare…and it can help improve skin texture, soften fine lines, and support collagen production.

The challenge is that many people never stick with it because it’s too intense, often leading to dryness, peeling, redness, irritation, and increased sun sensitivity.

Bakuchiol has been shown to support many of the same visible improvements associated with retinol while remaining gentle enough for daily use. By pairing it with nourishing botanical oils and antioxidants, we created a formula designed to support aging skin without disrupting your skin barrier.

So you can use it regularly, without the worry of irritation, and build towards firmer, smoother, and healthier skin.

Nature's retinol alternative

Bakuchiol helps support collagen production, smoother texture, and firmer-looking skin without the peeling, redness, or irritation commonly associated with retinol.

Nourishes while it works

Unlike water-based treatment serums, this oil-based formula delivers bakuchiol alongside squalene, raspberry seed oil, and antioxidants that help replenish and support the skin barrier.

Designed for long-term health

Healthy skin ages better. This formula focuses on gradual, sustainable improvements in texture, firmness, and tone rather than aggressive short-term results.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Support your skin. Don't fight it.

Most skincare tries to force faster results through stronger actives, harsher cleansing, and increasingly complicated routines. We formulate to support your skin's natural function, helping you achieve visible results today without compromising long-term skin health.

Aloe-based formulas

Aloe replaces water to provide hydration, soothing support, and enhanced ingredient delivery from the very first ingredient.

pH-Balanced support

Designed to cleanse, treat, and hydrate effectively without disrupting your skin's natural barrier or microbiome.

More complete products

Whole plant extracts provide broader support across multiple skin functions, helping you achieve healthier skin with fewer products.

WHATS INSIDE MATTERS

Clean and effective ingredients

Chosen to support smoother texture, firmer skin, and healthy aging.

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol helps improve skin texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, and support collagen production. It delivers many of the visible benefits associated with retinol while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Olive-derived Squalene

A lightweight lipid that closely resembles your skin's natural oils, squalene helps replenish moisture, improve elasticity, and support a healthy skin barrier. It leaves skin feeling soft, nourished, and comfortable.

Astaxanthin

A potent antioxidant in microalgae that helps defend against oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental factors. It supports skin resilience while helping reduce the visible signs of premature aging.
