At Madre Botanics, we believe beauty isn’t found in abundance but in balance. Skincare, for us, is both care and ceremony, a moment of pause, an act of conscious simplicity, a return to what feels grounding and true.
Our story began with a desire to create plant-derived skincare that was gentle, intentional, and genuinely effective.
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 pregnancy, postpartum, and sensitive skin in mind; clean, luxurious care for every season of change.
And we strive to make a difference, through our formulas and on this planet.
From our founder
Born and raised along the California coast in an Italian-American home, I grew up believing that quality ingredients matter: in food, in skincare, and in life. My heritage taught me that beauty lives in simplicity, and that less is often enough.
I began making small-batch skincare in 2011, crafting formulas in my kitchen and gifting them to friends. The dream of creating my own line stayed with me quietly for years. During pregnancy, my skin grew increasingly sensitive, shifting with hormones, melasma, and the natural changes of early motherhood. Postpartum brought its own challenges, and caring for my newborn’s delicate skin deepened my commitment to finding products that were gentle, clean, and nourishing.
Madre Botanics grew from that pursuit: a collection of plant-derived skincare, bath, and body essentials made with simple, effective, and thoughtful ingredients. Over time, the landscapes that shaped me began to weave themselves into the brand: Mediterranean warmth, the ease of the California coastline, and the grounding stillness of the Pacific Northwest, where Madre is now based. These places continue to inform the rituals, textures, and quiet moments at the heart of our products.
Madre Botanics also offers small ritual objects, like candles, ceramics, and daily tools, created to bring intention and beauty into ordinary moments.
Each product is designed to support women through every season of life, before, during, and after pregnancy, and through the small transitions that shape us. My hope is that these rituals feel grounding, supportive, and attainable.
Madre Botanics is more than skincare. It is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and create moments of calm in the everyday.
Welcome to Madre Botanics. I’m glad you’re here.
