Key Benefits At A Glance:

  • A luxurious, perfect shave that leaves skin nourished and  hydrated.
  • A pre-shave, after-shave and anti-aging cream - does it all.
  • Put an end to razor burn, ingrown hairs, nicks, cuts and rashes – and enjoy the closest, most luxurious shave possible.

 

 

Product Description:

The secret lies not only in the botanical oils, but with witch hazel.  Shave foam artisans formulated Botanec™ with soothing plant oils and natural ingredients that naturally hydrate and soften the beard without the dense, thick barrier of traditional foams and gels.  Result? Improved traction and razor glide for the closest, most comfortable shave!

What’s more, unlike traditional shave foams and their harsh chemicals that dry out the skin, Botanec’s aromatic plant oils drench the skin with moisture — leaving the skin soothed and hydrated. That’s important because it eliminates the need for aftershave lotion!

In a recent study of 50 test subjects with various skin types, Botanec™ was applied to the face for a series of nine 24-hour exposures over a 3 week period. The results were nothing short of amazing – not a single incidence of irritation or sensitization was reported from the entire test group!

Calls and emails have been pouring in from men and women around the globe saying that – for the first time in 5 or 10 years – Botanec™ is leaving their skin calm and refreshed.

I couldn’t believe the difference! My first time using Botanec™, my razor bumps – that I hated so much – completely disappeared! I previously planned to see a dermatologist — but I cancelled my appointment.

Recommended by leading Naturopath…
As a doctor, I am always concerned about what we put on our skin. Patients are always shocked when they hear that traditional shave foams use the same harsh chemicals that are found in anti-freeze and brake fluid. Botanec™ gives men and women peace of mind because the ingredients are nourishing, safe and all-natural. Since I started using Botanec™ a few months ago, several people have complimented me on my skin. Botanec™ is the cutting-edge in shave foam science.” — Dr. Marcus Laux

Ingredient Facts:

Botanec™ uses only the purest plant-based ingredients:

Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel is an astringent lotion extracted from the leaves, flowers and bark of the hamamelis shrub. The plant grows wild in North America, and its extract was used by early settlers who learned of its medicinal properties from Native Americans. It has been successfully used to treat swelling, inflammation, sores, and wounds to the skin. Its cool, soothing nature makes it wonderful for naturally addressing burn and swelling on the skin, and it also is very effective as a natural skin cleanser.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Oil is distilled from leaves of the Eucalyptus tree that is native to Australia and cultivated throughout the world. It has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and is used to reduce pain and inflammation naturally. It effectively treats many skin disorders, abrasions, bites, and blisters. We use the strongest, pharmaceutical grade with very high antiseptic cineol content.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Oil is distilled from the spikes of the lavender flower. The plant is grown worldwide. The distilled oil is antibacterial and has a soothing and calming effect. It has a wonderful, natural aroma, helps treat burns, and is a botanical of choice for use with children.

Lemon Essential Oil

This oil is extracted from the peel of lemons, the fruit of an Indian evergreen that is now common in California, Florida, and Southern Europe. Its cooling and refreshing properties make it preferred for cleansing and restoring luster to skin. It is astringent and detoxifying, as well as antiseptic, and is a favorite for decontamination and treatment of oily skin.

Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary Oil is one of the most versatile and popular essential oils. It is extracted from the leaves and bark of the rosemary evergreen shrub. We use it to treat dryness and scaliness, and to normalize excess oil secretions. It blends nicely with other oils and has a distinct and refreshing natural aroma.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil is an extract from the Australian Tea Tree, a small tree-like shrub with leaves like needles. It has been used by indigenous people for its anti-microbial benefits on all manner of skin issues. Tea Tree Oil contains terpenoids, which are anti-fungal and anti-septic and are largely responsible for its wound healing properties.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the peppermint plant and is found principally in Europe and North America. It is fresh and minty, and produces a cooling sensation on the skin. It is astringent and anti-inflammatory, and blends very well with other essential oils.

Palm Kernel Acid

Palm Kernel Acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from Palm Kernel Oil and is a natural, water soluble cleansing agent. It has very little scent and has moisturizing and skin softening properties. Along with Potassium Palm Kernelate, it cleanses and adds viscosity to the formulations.

Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl Alcohol is a colorless liquid produced naturally by plants. It is found in many essential oils as well. We use it for its preservative properties, along with citric acid and potassium cocoate.

Decyl Glucoside

Decyl Glucoside is a clear golden liquid composed of sugar and fatty alcohols derived from coconuts. It is an odorless cleanser and foam stabilizer that keeps the liquid formulation spread evenly. It is plant-derived and fully biodegradable.

Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable Glycerin is a compound derived from the fats and oils of palm or coconut. It is clear, colorless, and odorless. It is a natural source ingredient that adds moisture and softens and soothes the skin. Its anti-aging properties are the result of moisture retention and drawing of oxygen to the skin. It is anti-bacterial and can speed skin healing as well.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a botanical extract from the comfrey plant. It has tremendous skin moisturizing properties, promotes cell growth and wound healing, and repairs damaged skin. It is odorless and nontoxic and is one of the most popular natural chemical compounds.

References and Feedback -

An oil that will frequently pop up in shaving creams is mineral oil. This is something you definitely don’t want to put on your face. Mineral oil is a byproduct of petroleum. Yes, that’s right — gasoline. You’re better off sticking with oils that are derived from nature, so look for plant-based oils.

– Discovery Fit & Health

At first glance it looks like some overpriced product. Not so. I guarantee this product will last longer than any amount of shaving foam you can get for this price. The smell is pleasant, the feel is great, and it only takes a couple pumps to create a good coat. It may seem odd at first, it being a low-lather cream rather than a foam… but the shave you get with this cream is bar-none.  Simply put, I’ll probably never use a traditional shave foam again!

Takes only a very small amount to lather your face and makes for a much better shave than I get with most off the shelf products. Worth the extra expense.

For the first time I didn’t cut my face up using a traditional razor.

My skin isn’t left feeling dry and itchy afterwards. The lack of lather adds to the comfort (bubbles equate to less product on your skin to provide lubrication) and allows for visible progression during shaving.

As an African American, I tend to have very sensitive skin, and this is the only shaving cream that doesn’t leave my neck and chin looking and feeling like I got messed up by the sidewalk after falling off my bike. I highly recommend this for guys who normally suffer from razor rash. I can actually shave against the grain without getting cut up!

Healthy Tidbits

In this century, the world will have more people living into their 80s and 90s than ever before, with the number of people 80+ set to quadruple between 2000 and 2050.

 

Increased life expectancy is largely due to improvements in public health, and healthy ageing is linked directly to health in earlier stages of life.

 

Although it is natural for biological processes to decline with age, the rate at which our body’s decline is impacted by many controllable lifestyle factors such as how we eat, how we move, and how many toxic substances we are exposed to.
