Simple, botanical rituals for healthy, radiant skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Botika products made?
Our products are proudly crafted in Nashville, using carefully sourced botanical ingredients.
Do you test on animals?
Never. We are committed to cruelty-free practices across every product we make.
Why choose botanical oils for skincare?
Botanical oils are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. They help support the skin's natural barrier, improve texture, and enhance overall radiance — without overwhelming the skin.

Do I need a full skincare routine?
Not necessarily. A simple, consistent routine is often more effective than a complex one. We recommend starting with three steps:
- Cleanse
- Hydrate (mist or toner)
- Nourish (botanical oil or moisturizer)
Consistency matters more than complexity.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on your skin type and concern:
- Hydration and softness: often within a few days
- Breakouts: 2–4 weeks
- Tone and texture: 4–8 weeks
Healthy skin is built over time — our products are designed to support that process gently and consistently.
Can I use facial oils if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. The right oils can actually help balance oil production and support the skin barrier. Lightweight, non-comedogenic oils are especially beneficial for blemish-prone skin.
Are your products handmade?
Yes — Botika products are made in small batches to ensure quality and freshness in every bottle.
Are your products safe for sensitive skin?
Our formulas are built around gentle botanical actives and are free from harsh synthetics. If you have specific sensitivities or allergies, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list for each product or reaching out to us directly.
Cleanse
Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities, makeup, and excess oil. Massage onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Exfoliate
Use a gentle exfoliant 2-3 times per week to slough away dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin. Apply to clean, damp skin and rinse thoroughly.
Balance (Hydrosol)
Mist a botanical hydrosol to restore your skin's pH balance and prepare it to absorb the next layers of treatment. Hold 6-8 inches from face and spray evenly.
Treat (Serum)
Apply a targeted serum with active botanicals to address specific skin concerns. Press gently into skin, allowing full absorption before moving to the next step.
Moisturize
Seal in all the goodness with a nourishing moisturizer. Warm a small amount between your palms and press into skin, working from center outward.
