Through Barbara’s clinical experience, she noted that clients mainly presented with one of five major skin issues, including acne, fungal infections and dehydrated skin.
Using the highest quality plant-based emollients, cold pressed oils, certified organic actives and legendary herbs, she set out to tackle these three skin conditions first.
Working with the best chemists including Derio Comar to create formulas which stand the test of time, together they continue to innovate and provide effective, natural one-of-a-kind skincare.
Botani Olive Skin Serum is a true innovation. It contains 99.7% pure, phyto-active Olive Squalene which resembles the built-in moisturiser each of us has in our skin. Squalene is part of the skin’s protective layer, and is most abundantly available in the skin at the time of birth, but decreases as we age, making our skin vulnerable to free radical damage, dehydration and premature ageing. This innovative, multipurpose skin-biocompatible product is suitable for all skin types and conditions, with Squalene being as vital to skin as water is to life.
We recommend everyone replenish their Squalene levels daily with Olive Skin Serum in order to give the skin:
The Squalene we use at Botani is 100% vegan, cold-pressed and Certified Organic Olive Squalene. Olive Squalene is extracted from the fresh olive pomace, which includes the skin, pulp and pit of the olive.
Many commercially available Squalene oils and supplements are derived from sharks, harming the animal in the process.
We choose olives that are grown organically in the fertile soils of Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean. It is cold pressed and bottled in eco-friendly, little Botani amber bottles (to retain the oil’s integrity by keeping it from sunlight and preventing oxidation) in our Melbourne warehouse.

Rescue Acne Cream 100% botanical formula gently dries out and heals pimples by working in two major ways: Firstly, by killing the bacteria present in acne (in vitro suspension test has shown that the Rescue Acne Cream is effective against Propionibacterium acne bacteria under laboratory test conditions, with a 99.99% kill factor of in just 30 minutes*!) Secondly, with anti-inflammatory activity, providing immediate relief for red, itchy, inflamed pimples and acne lesions.
You may not be aware that most antifungal creams are inhibitory only (temporarily stop fungi from growing); that’s why most fungal infections often keep coming back. Commonly suffered by people (men, women and children alike) around the world, we set out to create a product that was highly potent, yet gentle, with multipurpose functions: antifungal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
Phytoseptic contains a potent, proprietary blend of plant extracts that actually kill the fungal skin infection at the root, with ‘built-in’ anti-inflammatory ingredients (most antifungals need to be used with cortisone as an anti-inflammatory). Formulated at a compatible pH to the skin, this slightly acidic formula (which also makes the ingredients more active) is a clever cream-base that encompasses Green French Clay; playing an important role in drawing away moisture from fungal conditions.
Common topical anti-fungal ingredients include clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole, terbinafine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, amphotericin. Side effects of these synthetic cocktail of chemicals can include itching, burning and redness. Botani uses a 100% botanical blend to outperform the mass market antifungals / antiseptics commonly available in store.
Rescue Eye Treatment is a high performing, hydrating and anti-aging plant-based eye gel enriched with Acacia Senegal Gum that provides a visible lifting and firming effect on the delicate eye area. Your skin around your eyes is more fragile than the rest of your skin. It is more prone to dehydration. Therefore it is more likely to show signs of aging and tiredness.
The eyelid is the thinnest skin on the body and is continuously active. Do we blink 10,000 times a day? Some say we do. This constant movement of the muscles around the eye (from blinking and squinting) contributes to the appearance of lines and wrinkles, along with sun damage and your skin making less collagen as you age.
Fluids collect under the eye area and cause the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. As always prevention is more effective than trying to repair the damage.
Taking extra care of the skin around your eyes while you in your 20’s will slow down the natural ageing process and help maintain the health of the skin around your eyes for years to come.
