At Arkana Botanica, our name reflects our philosophy. Arkana: meaning inspired by ancient wisdom and hidden knowledge, and Botanica: embracing the natural power of plants. Together, they capture our mission — to create handcrafted skincare and holistic therapies that nurture your skin, body, and mind.

 

I had suffered with acne since my teenage years, trying countless products that promised results but never delivered. In 2024, a skin cancer scare reminded me how important mindful skincare is. I realised I needed to pay more attention to what I put on my skin, and began taking courses to educate myself in natural skincare.

 

As a mum, I’ve always been careful about what I use on my child’s skin, researching products and avoiding chemicals wherever possible. It made me realise I hadn’t been doing the same for myself. Combining this awareness with my background as a holistic therapist, I pursued further training — and that journey led me to create my own skincare products, crafted entirely from natural ingredients. I believe everything we need is already in nature.

 

I’m delighted to have developed a cream that truly works — for my skin and for so many others — while being completely natural. I have many more products in preparation and I can’t wait to share them with you!
