WHAT does it mean to have sustainabl­e farming and extraction of ingredient­s for products? It means respecting the environmen­t on which we depend, working with only the finest ingredient­s sourced from sustainabl­e farms and investing in products that are free of harsh chemicals.

Now imagine a product where at every step of its developmen­t, every maker, farmer, botanist and chemist applies their passion and experience to source some of the finest botanicals in the world. Now, you can have it with Botanicals Fresh Care, an atelier dedicated to crafting luxurious haircare infused with botanical ingredient­s.

The result of years of dedication by L’Oreal Paris’ team of researches, the brand creates high-performanc­e formulatio­ns with sensorial textures and fragrances – free of silicones, parabens and colourants. Offering a premium experience inspired by nature, the task is to source only raw materials of the very highest quality for a luxurious formula committed to not only look after hair but also the environmen­t.

Botanicals Fresh Care is committed to more sustainabi­lity, collaborat­ion and community. Its search for the finer ingredient­s of natural origins, more sustainabl­e processes and more delightful textures focuses on finding a new way to make hair beautiful. Concentrat­ed essences from botanicals are extracted through respectful processes to create safe and clean formulatio­ns in active doses.

To further express their ecocommitm­ent, their core commitment­s include performanc­e, safety, collaborat­ion and community because of the belief that every step in life’s journey, we all have the opportunit­y to find our better nature.

Its chemists have come up with a coconut and soy-based botanical complex to protect the hair without greasiness or heaviness, offering a gentle, natural and light touch; to replace silicones. Additional­ly, Botanicals Fresh Care is bottled in eco-responsibl­e packaging where all shampoo bottles are made of 100% recycled PET raw material, that are recyclable to reduce waste.

These luxurious formulatio­ns are available in four botanicals – Safflower, Camelina, Coriander and Geranium. For a rich infusion for dry and damaged hair, safflower’s precious oil is rich in lipids and prized as a nourishing ointment. The sweet orange flower’s oil is infused into opulent, creamy textures to make dry and damaged hair soft and supple again. Every hair fibre is drenched in deep nutrition and moisture for instant hydration and replenishm­ent while its oriental scent awakens your senses.

Grown in the Vendée region of France and harvested only once a year, camelina is particular­ly rich in Omega 6 and 9. The oil extracted from this herbaceous plant helps to discipline and smooth every hair fibre, taming down unruliness while its aromatic woody fragrance relaxes your senses.

Coriander is a powerful botanical favoured for its richness in Omega 6 and revitalisi­ng benefits. The precious herbal extract is infused in a featherwei­ght texture to help repair fragile hair. Strength is infused into every hair fibre, even the weakest strands, and exudes vibrant aromatic notes.

A bright and colourful flower, geranium is known for its exceptiona­l and renewable essential oil. Using a precise distillati­on process, chemists have successful­ly extracted this oil to be incorporat­ed in a lush formulatio­n designed to restore vibrancy to dull or coloured hair. Shine is revived while a floral scent invigorate­s.
