At Madre Botanics, we hold to the quiet belief that beauty is found not in abundance, but in balance. The skin is wise; it protects, heals, and adapts. Yet in modern life, amid pollution, stress, and the passage of time, it sometimes asks for a little help.
We do not resist aging; we embrace it as a story worth cherishing. Skincare, for us, is both care and ceremony: a moment of pause, an act of conscious simplicity and love, because true luxury is found in less.
Our story began with the desire to create plant-derived, premium, affordable skincare.
We formulate with the belief that when it comes to skincare, what is not absorbed by the skin is as important as what is.
Our formulas are created by a mother, with pregnant and breastfeeding women in mind, to provide clean, luxurious skincare for all, including pregnancy and beyond.
And we strive to make a difference, both through our formulas and on this planet.
From our founder
Born and raised along the California coast in an Italian-American household, I grew up believing that quality ingredients matter, in food, in skincare, and in life. My Italian heritage also instilled in me the belief that when it comes to beauty, less is more.
My journey into clean beauty began in 2011, crafting small-batch skincare in my kitchen and gifting it to friends while dreaming of someday creating my own line. That dream became deeply personal during pregnancy, when I developed sensitive, hormonal skin and melasma. Postpartum brought new challenges, periocular dermatitis, keratosis pilaris, and caring for my newborn’s eczema. With our skin constantly in contact, I became determined to create products that soothed my concerns without irritating his.
Madre Botanics was born from that pursuit, a collection of plant-derived skincare, bath, and body essentials crafted with simple, effective, and thoughtful ingredients. With curated ritual objects like candles, ceramics, and accessories we hope to bring beauty and intention to your daily life. Each product is designed to support women in every stage, before, during, and after pregnancy, and to make self-care both grounding and attainable.
Madre Botanics is more than skincare—it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and create moments of calm in the everyday.
Welcome to Madre Botanics. I'm glad you're here.
