Our Promise Of Premium Selfcare & Fundamental Ethics

We pride ourselves on both the remarkable efficacy and unwavering ethics of our carefully crafted formulas, and we continuously take meaningful steps to reduce our impact on the environment at every single stage of our product journey. Our commitment to excellence means we assure standardised quality every time you choose us. Rashes, itching, pimples, redness, and allergic reactions are just some of the uncomfortable conditions which can be effectively avoided with the natural goodness of BWG Botanics. We utilize efficacious plant extracts that are sustainably sourced from diverse regions around the globe. Importantly, our products are formulated without harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, SLS, mineral oils, petroleum, paraffin, DEA, TEA, or Formaldehyde Donors, ensuring a truly safe and luxurious self-care experience.

  • Parabens are synthetic preservatives commonly used in the process of manufacturing various cosmetics and personal care products. While these compounds are effective at extending the shelf life of these items, numerous studies have indicated that they can disrupt natural estrogen production in the body. Furthermore, parabens have been linked to serious health concerns, including an increased risk of breast cancer, impaired liver function, and a weakened immune system. At BWG Botanics, we are committed to the purity and integrity of our formulations, which is why our products are made without the use of harmful ingredients like parabens.

  • Many cosmetics on the market today are often laden with strong and overpowering smells, which can be quite irritating for some individuals. Those who suffer from conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, migraines, and various breathing problems may find themselves particularly bothered by these intense fragrances. In contrast, our thoughtfully crafted products feature milder scents that arise exclusively from high-quality essential oils, providing a more gentle and pleasant experience for your senses.

  • Even individuals who do not have sensitive skin may encounter a variety of issues when using most cosmetics available on the market. These issues can manifest as dryness, persistent itching, and redness, or even trigger pre-existing skin problems. Those who suffer from eczema or any type of dermatitis are particularly prone to experiencing irritation from harsh formulations. At BWG Botanics, we take pride in our natural ingredients, which are remarkably gentle and soothing on the skin, even with daily application. This thoughtful formulation prevents any potential irritation and empowers everyone in our vibrant community, including those with sensitive skin and delicate skin conditions, to enjoy the luxurious experience of using our products repeatedly without worry.

  • Our carefully formulated products do not build up in the pores and can easily be removed or washed off without any hassle, leaving the skin and pores free of any stubborn substances that may block them. Even with daily use, our innovative products allow the skin to breathe freely, promoting a healthier and more radiant complexion.

  • Like many other exceptional products made with high-quality organic ingredients, natural cosmetics play a vital role in nourishing and revitalizing the skin. Ingredients such as Vitamin E, witch hazel, coconut oil, and many

  • With the many synthetic and chemical ingredients commonly used to produce traditional cosmetics, the environment is also significantly affected. The harmful by-products of the production process can seriously harm the air we breathe, deplete the ozone layer, contaminate bodies of water, and negatively impact ecosystems and wildlife.

  • Many products that go through the typical process of cosmetic production undergo rigorous and often inhumane testing on animals. Not only are the methods employed in these tests cruel and outdated, but they also put the lives and well-being of the animals on which the products are tested in grave danger. At BWG Botanics, we firmly believe in a more compassionate approach and do not support or engage in animal testing. Instead, we are proud to offer beautiful, effective products with carefully selected ingredients that are already known to be safe and beneficial for human use.

  • Regular cosmetics contain a vast array of different ingredients, including chemicals, fillers, preservatives, and artificial colors, to name just a few. While not everyone may be allergic to these components, applying them to the skin can contribute to accelerated aging and various skin issues over time. Daily use of makeup laden with such ingredients can lead to dryness, the appearance of fine lines, and even deeper wrinkles. In stark contrast, our carefully formulated products are designed to revive and recharge your skin, effectively nourishing and refining it just when you need that extra care the most.
 

Sourcing - Science - Standards

  • Millions worldwide have discovered the benefits of pure essential oils derived naturally from plants. We’re committed to establishing and maintaining the ultimate, industry-leading standard in essential oil products. For BWG, the non-negotiable benchmarks for delivering a product our customers can feel great about are multifaceted and exacting. We’re proud to offer an extensive line of essential oils and essential oil-infused, plant-based products that represent the best of nature—through the standards of our Seed to Seal and Farm to Family strategies.

    BWG Botanics proudly embraces a rigorous quality control standard that is meticulously designed to help ensure our premium products consistently meet the strictest specifications. Our Seed to Seal initiative represents our comprehensive set of standards, which guarantees that with every pure essential oil and BWG Botanics product your family chooses to use, you can fully enjoy the remarkable benefits derived from our extensive global resources, our commitment to industry leadership, and over two decades of continuous innovation.

    The result? A truly pristine final product that you can confidently know has been thoughtfully created with conscientious sourcing, cutting-edge science, and rigorous standards—the three essential pillars of both Seed to Seal and Farm to Family. This commitment ensures that every aspect of our formulation embodies quality and care for your well-being.

  • Not all essential oils are created equally. BWG Botanics will never knowingly compromise by adding synthetics, contaminants, cheap fillers or partake in unethical production practices. Our quality control officer guides the process of sourcing products from carefully vetted corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers and testing them extensively. If our exhaustive tests show that a product doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t buy it or reject the batch.

    Partnership Principles

    Our oils are sourced from our corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers. This empowers us to source conscientiously and sensitively to local communities and ecosystems. We vet and select our like-minded suppliers according to five principles: Established Relationships, Seed to Seal Specifications, Binding Agreements, Stringent Testing, and Ongoing Audits.

  • Part of our stewardship and commitment to excellence is to conduct business responsibly and ethically—from sustainably sourcing our exquisite plants, to uplifting and empowering local communities, and diligently complying with environmental regulations and other pertinent laws. Inexpensive essential oils are often synthetic, adulterated, or unethically sourced, which is precisely why we choose partners who produce only pure essential oils and high-quality ingredients in an ethical and legal manner. This conscientious practice not only aligns with our values but also sets a top-tier standard for sustainability across the industry.
