Skincare TRUE WILD BOTANICS SKIN CARE POWERED BY PLANT NERDS When a gardener and a landscape architect became obsessed with the healing properties of plants, the result was the creation of True Wild Botanics. Nisreen Azar and Scott Ward have taken their wide scope of horticultural experience to create a skin and body care line that celebrates the healing properties of nature and tells a story about native landscapes. Founders Nisreen and Scott possess a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and health consciousness, and have proven it with their professional experiences in landscaping, arboriculture, ecological restoration, and wild beekeeping. Tapping into that same plant ethos, the couple began to create skin care products in their small kitchen in 2015 and officially launched True Wild Botanics in June 2017. Their line of skin and body products embodies the couple’s philosophy of protecting and honoring nature by sharing its healing powers with others. True Wild Botanics offers a range of six products: Hydrating Mist ($37.00 / 4 Fl oz.) A blend of orange blossom, rose, frankincense and vetiver to soothe, tone and hydrate skin. Sea Salt & Coastal Sage Body Scrub ($36.00 / 9 oz.) Ethically wildcrafted California native sages combined with Dead Sea salt to replenish, exfoliate and rejuvenate skin. 26 C O S M O B I Z M A G A Z I N E
