Showcasing Botnia at ICES (The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa) in Long Beach was a huge milestone. The most meaningful moments came from connecting face-to-face with estheticians who share our belief in plant-based, holistic care.

You might have left our booth with a little something to try: Fade Serum, Mandelic Acid, or Travel Essential Enzymes. Below you’ll find a quick guide on how to use them.

Mandelic Acid (Professional Use Only)

This is part of our professional back bar, meant for use in the treatment room.

• Apply to freshly cleansed skin.

• Use directly on the skin, or if your guest’s barrier is compromised, buffer with goat’s milk yogurt or high-quality organic honey.

• Leave on for 8 to 10 minutes, then neutralize with water and remove completely.

• Contraindicated for nut allergies (made from almonds).

• To extend the results of a mandelic acid facial, recommend you or your guest add Fade Serum as a nightly routine at home.

Fade Serum

Fade Serum is a mandelic acid serum designed for everyday use.

• Apply to cleansed and toned skin in the evening before moisturizing.

• Best used nightly; results appear after consistent use over the course of a full bottle.

Travel Essential Enzymes

Essential Enzymes is a cream cleanser and mask in one, gentle enough for daily use.

• As a daily exfoliating cleanser: massage into damp skin and rinse.

• As a weekly mask: apply evenly, leave on for several minutes, then rinse.

• For added benefits, mix in one of our powdered masks:

Kale Mask for brightening

Flower Mask for antioxidant support

Exfoliation Mask for a weekly exfoliating treatment

Sulfur Mask for breakout-prone or rough, dry skin

These three products are a glimpse into the way we approach skin: intentional, honoring the human body, and rooted in plants. If questions come up as you try our skincare, reach out to us anytime.
