78 | UK Enterprise Awards 2021 May21778 Best Organic Body Oil Brand 2021 Botanyblend is a sensory inspired botanical oil range designed to stimulate the mind and body, featuring luxury organic face and body oils to indulge the senses and nurture the skin. We take a closer look at the award-winning products it has to offer and how they can assist in our daily beauty regimes. Humans are all ‘sensory creatures’ - constantly seeking, noticing and responding to different sensations within our bodies and the surrounding environment. Botanyblend marries a specialist knowledge of sensation with the art of aromatherapy to create beautiful skin and massage oils that indulge the senses and bring vitality to the skin. Each batch is made by hand in London using a rich and pure range of sustainably sourced, organic ingredients that have been chosen for the powerful aromatherapeutic synergies they create, and the ‘active’ nutrients they provide the skin. Where possible, Botanyblend uses raw, organic ingredients that have undergone the least aggressive extraction to preserve the vital components of the plant. Suited to all skin types, the Botanyblend range of products is concentrated with fat soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant pigments. They provide the skin with glowing radiance, improve elasticity, heal, plump, balance, regenerate and help to hydrate the skin. Using gentle light touch and deep touch massage to deliver these nutrient dense organic face and body oils into the skin sends messages of calm to the central systems of the body. In turn, these systems release feel good hormones, lower stress hormones, reduce blood pressure, heart rate and allow for small moments of calm within the daily beauty routine. Sunbird The body oil, called Sunbird, is deliciously scented and uplifts the senses. It’s the colour of sunshine and when applied is reminiscent of fresh summer mornings. The feel-good aroma evokes happiness and uplifts the senses. Sunbird consists of a unique aromatic blend of fresh Mediterranean citrus top notes, exotic middle notes of African Neroli, gentle base notes of Myrrh and subtle touch of mint. It is a lightweight, ultra-absorbent organic body oil which supports hydration of the skin leaving it soft, nurtured and revived. Meru The face oil comes in three varieties to suit different skin types. The first being Mount Meru, which is named after the sacred five-peaked mountain of the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist religions, which is said to uphold heaven. The golden drops of this organic face oil restore harmony, vitality and purify the skin, giving it strength and balance. Neroli and lotus flowers refresh and tone by increasing cell turnover and clarifying the skin. The lightweight cold pressed botanical oils of Peruvian Sacha Inchi, Safflower and Moroccan Cactus are rich in omega 3 and 6. These omegas plump the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pores, and play an integral role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function. Golden Jojoba resembles the structure of the skin’s natural oils, it mixes with sebum to deliver nutrients deep into the pore. It is one of very few plant oils that provides the skin with an occlusive layer, supporting hydration and skin integrity by preventing trans epidermal water loss. Meru is an ultra-lightweight and super absorbent organic face oil, suitable for use morning and evening, and is especially beneficial for oily, combination, hormonal and mature skin.
