Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What kinds of products are included in botanicals?

This collection may include dried herbs, flowers, roots, leaves, seeds, powders, and other plant-based ingredients. Always check the product page for the exact form and intended use of each botanical.

What are botanicals commonly used for?

Botanicals are often used in DIY skincare, haircare, bath products, soap making, herbal crafting, and other ingredient-based projects. The best use depends on the specific plant and how it is prepared.

Are all botanicals ready to use straight from the pack?

Some can be used as they are, while others may need soaking, straining, infusing, blending, or grinding first. It is best to check the product page for how each botanical is commonly used.

Are all botanicals suitable for food or tea use?

No, do not assume that. Even if a product is plant-based, the product page should clearly confirm whether it is suitable for food-related use.

Can I mix different botanicals together?

Yes, many botanicals can be combined for DIY projects and custom blends. It helps to choose botanicals with similar intended uses and preparation methods.
