Our Story
We are curators of self-care rituals inspired by Hellenic herbalism that celebrates the finest African botanicals.
Effective ingredients with a history of traditional use, and a multitude of skin benefits and actions verified by scientific research. Working synergistically to support the skin structurally and functionally, in turn providing self-care and skin care that is holistic in its approach. Each natural formulation and resultant product is a paean to the therapeutic efficacy of plant actives. Echoed by our brand philosophy, from terra to derma. Utilising only the highest quality plants and botanical extracts that are sustainably grown and harvested, preferably certified either wildcrafted or organic.
Products & Ingredients
All our products are handcrafted in small batches, to be as gentle to the planet and all her inhabitants, as they are to your skin.
Our formulations are only tested on consenting humans, and never on animals. Similarly, we take a sustainable approach to our packaging. All our products are packaged in glass, which can be recycled or upcycled, using recyclable plastics where necessary. You will notice that we do not utilise box packaging for our glass packaging, this is an effort to be less wasteful and kinder to Mother Nature. We also offer a refill incentive on some of our products, whereby our clients receive a discount on their packaging that they return to us for refilling.

How it all Started
The name, TASIA Botanica, has two derivations: Τασία (Tasia) was my Yiayia’s nickname, and since I am her namesake, it only felt apt to pay tribute to her. A Botanica is a small shop that sells herbal and other traditional remedies, originating from the Greek, βοτανικός (Botanikos) which means, “of plants/herbs”.
Two events in my childhood inadvertently paved the way for what was to become my homage to all things botanical.
