Our Commitment to Natural & Organic Ingredients

At Sheen’s Botanicals, we believe that the best skincare begins with ingredients that work in harmony with the body and with nature. That is why we carefully select mild, natural ingredients for all of our formulations. Many of our ingredients come directly from nature, such as botanical oils that are cold-pressed or gently extracted to preserve their beneficial properties. Others are naturally derived through sustainable processes from plant sources such as coconuts, sugarcane, and olive oil.

 

Whenever a botanical ingredient is available in certified organic form, we make it our priority to select the organic option. Organically grown plants are cultivated without pesticides or pollutants, and studies suggest they often provide higher concentrations of beneficial compounds and antioxidants. 

 

In certain cases, we may also use nature-identical ingredients approved by organic certification bodies. These ingredients are man-made but have the exact same chemical structure as their natural counterparts. Extracting them directly from nature would often be costly and environmentally unsustainable, as they exist only in very small quantities in plants. Using nature-identical alternatives allows us to maintain the same benefits while protecting natural resources.

WHY WE CHOOSE NATURAL INGREDIENTS?

Naturally Compatible with the Skin

Natural ingredients have been used for food, medicine, and beauty for centuries, proving their compatibility with the human body.

 

Plant oils such as jojoba oil, macadamia nut oil, and safflower oil contain lipids that closely resemble those naturally found in our skin. Because of this similarity, they are easily recognised by the skin and help support the natural barrier, keeping skin hydrated without causing irritation or breakouts.

Environmentally Responsible

Natural ingredients are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by microorganisms into simple compounds such as water and carbon dioxide.

 

Because they do not accumulate in the environment, they are far less likely to contribute to long-term environmental pollution.

Rich in Beneficial Plant Actives

Nature offers an extraordinary range of bioactive compounds that benefit the skin.

​

Plant molecules such as polyphenols and flavonoids found in many plants provide antioxidant protection against environmental stress and pollution, and act as anti-ageing agents. Terpenoids from mugwort and patchouli are well known for their calming properties and help soothe irritated skin.

​

Other plant actives, including saponins from ginseng and astragalus, can help improve skin resilience by promoting barrier function and enhancing hydration. Phenolic compounds from ginger and turmeric help improve circulation.

 

Certain essential oils also demonstrate potent antibacterial effects, which can support healthier skin.

Our Philosophy

“We don't need to look far or for new materials to address our skin problems, we just need to draw inspiration from age-old wisdom that has stood the test of time and continue to build on it.”
