Ethical Practices
ml. Botanics is an Australian-owned brand that handmakes products in small batches, focusing on 100% natural ingredients known for their potency and efficacy. The brand emphasises ethical sourcing, sustainability and quality, utilising wild-harvested or locally sourced ingredients from organic or biodynamic farms. The slow extraction process, such as the four months required for solar-infused herbal oils, ensures the integrity of the plants. The brand partners with suppliers who share similar values regarding labour ethics, animal welfare and sustainable practices. They maintain transparency by listing all ingredients on packaging and online, and products undergo rigorous in-house testing without animal testing. Most offerings are vegan, except for specific items containing lanolin or sustainably sourced beeswax and honey. Their mission is to create natural body and skincare products that enhance well-being and happiness through careful formulation methods.
Sustainable Practices
ml. Botanics prioritises environmental responsibility in its ingredient sourcing and packaging choices. All formulations are contained in recyclable Miron biophotonic glass jars and bottles. The brand’s calico canvas bags are made from biodegradable, unbleached 100% eco-friendly cotton. Discounts are offered to customers who return glass packaging and calico bags, with plans for further recycling initiatives. Cards are printed by an eco-friendly company using recycled paper and non-toxic inks. For mailing, the brand utilises 'Hex Wrap', which is 100% recyclable and compostable, while their mailing boxes, made from 99.9% recycled paper, are also recyclable and compostable.
Social Impact
ml. Botanics supports various charities, including the Bob Brown Foundation, ANTaR and the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation. The brand advocates for holistic health and wellness, emphasising the importance of nurturing the body, mind and spirit through natural care. Their products, including the Intensive Skin Repair Balm used in trials for dry skin and scar reduction, have been sold at St. Vincent’s Hospital in East Melbourne for several years. The brand prioritises sourcing ingredients from local farmers and producers who align with their values, aiming to reduce carbon footprint and support small businesses.
Product Reviews by Experts
I love that this product comes in a glass jar to reduce plastic waste while also maintaining the integrity of the product. The branding and presentation of this product was also beautiful- and set this product apart from the other products in this category. I loved the smell of it and that it is non-oily. I think the fact that this product is made in small batches by hand and made with premium ingredients that come from organic and biodynamic farms is impressive and adds a beautiful feel to this product. Whilst it’s a muscle support product it feels very luxurious to use which is a reflection of the packaging and branding!
I used this for my neck hickey, and it worked so well! Speeds the healing process and works like a charm. Very soothing, and I’m excited to try it for an actual sport-related injury. It is important that the quality of each ingredient and formulation is never compromised – I feel like lots of companies rush the process if it means it’s cheaper or faster, so this impressed me about this brand!
My pick of the bunch, the scent is gorgeous, the balm isn’t too greasy and my muscles were left relaxed and wanting more. Organic ingredients and considerate of the processes- I’m a fan!
