Monarch Botanika Facial Cleanser Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I was recently introduced to the skincare brand Monarch Botanika, and I am so excited to share their mission and their products with you. Their belief in Monarch Butterfly Conservation is build into the very fabric of their skincare brand.

About the cause:

The brilliantly colorful and majestic Monarch butterfly is a true wonder of the world and American icon. Weighing less than a dime, the Monarch travels an astonishing 3,000 miles during its migration - a journey that takes generations to complete.

Sadly, over the last two decades, the Monarch butterfly’s overall population has declined by more than 90 percent — leaving the species at serious risk of extinction.

At Monarch Botanika, we believe in doing more than just creating exceptional skincare products. We're dedicated to standing by a mission that's close to our hearts: conserving the Monarch Butterfly. We understand that the key to saving this magnificent species lies in the Milkweed plant, and we've woven it into the very fabric of our products.

Our skincare line proudly features Milkweed Seed Oil, a botanical treasure with untold potential for Monarch conservation. Each seed is meticulously hand-collected and responsibly harvested, ensuring the protection of vital habitat. The oil is naturally pressed without resorting to chemical refining methods, preserving its purity and efficacy.

By embracing the value of a plant often dismissed as a mere weed, we're not only crafting exceptional skincare but also encouraging the cultivation of Milkweed. This, in turn, offers new, invaluable habitat for Monarchs to rebuild their populations. Every Monarch Botanika product you choose is not just a step toward healthier, radiant skin; it's a vote for a brighter future, where the Monarchs thrive once more.

Monarch Botanika Facial Cleanser, with cold-pressed hand-harvested Milkweed Seed Oil, is a clear lathering gel cleanser that gently cleans the skin without ever stripping it. With plant-based ingredients, this Omega-rich cleanser is nourishing and hydrating, and it never leaves an oily residue. It is highly concentrated, and therefore only a tiny amount is needed to clean the face. It does include Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, and therefore you want to avoid getting it in your eyes, but it isn't overpowering– just uplifting.

No Animal Testing, Plant-Based ingredients, Sulfate and Paraben Free, Phthalate and Petroleum Free, Mineral Oil Free, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Milkweed, Vegan.

According to Monarch Botanika,

  1. I love that this brand incorporated milkweed into their products! I read that it's essential for the monarchs and my neighbor even started growing milkweed in her backyard just for the butterflies. We are on a path of monarch migration and I noticed there are fewer and fewer of them lately. I hope they can recover with help of kind companies like Monarch Botanika, every little bit helps.

    1. Hi Anastasia, I feel exactly the same as you do about this. It is so refreshing to see companies do more, and Monarch Botanika's cause is such a worthy one. I love that your neighbor planted milkweed to attract more butterflies, that is such a great idea! I am going to look into that! I have lots of birds, bees, butterflies and squirrels who frequent my backyard, and I definitely want to plant more to attract them!
