If you subscribe to Boxwalla, or receive their emails, then you have undoubtedly heard that the warehouse they use is closing, and they have to vacate the premises. As a result, they are having a 40% sitewide warehouse closing sale (Use code thankyou40), but this Votary Box is excluded from it.

About Votary,

Votary is a high performance plant powered skincare British brand founded by Arabella Preston and Charlotte Semler. Arabella is a former beauty editor and a makeup artist (whose clients include Kate Middleton & Stella McCartney), who used to blend pure plant oils for years for both herself & her clients. On a lunch with friends, when entrepreneur, friend & former boss Charlotte realized that Arabella blended her own oils to cleanse and moisturize her skin as well as her clients’ skin, she decided to team up with her to bring these gorgeous plant oil based formulations to the world. And so Votary was born.

Beautiful skin begins with properly clean skin, which is why the Votary cleansing routine is at the heart of everything we do. Votary cleansing oils and 100% pure cotton face cloths are simply the best way to clean and care for your face. It’s where great skin begins.

The Votary Skincare range now spans cleansing oils, facial oils, deeply nourishing creams, masks and powerful serums to give you healthy, happy, glowing skin.
Votary Vitamin C Glow Serum: This lightweight magical serum features a very stable and effective form of Vitamin C, and this antioxidant-rich serum– which effectively combats free radical damage– is formulated to diminish the appearance of discoloration (age spots, sun damage), and it gives skin a gorgeous ethereal glow. However, unlike some Vitamin C serums– which I have found drying for my skin– this one includes Hyaluronic Acid, and therefore it deeply hydrates the skin while leaving the complexion soft, smooth, supple and more even on tone. It contains no detectable aroma, does not irritate my sometimes finicky skin, and it is as joyful to use as it is effective.

According to Boxwalla,

A great Vitamin C serum is a very useful thing to have in your skincare toolkit, especially in summer when it becomes even more crucial to combat the free radical damage caused by UV rays. I have been loving this new Vitamin C serum from Votary – the dark spots that usually appear on my skin in summer seem to have been kept at bay by this serum (and sunscreen).

It contains 3.5% Vitamin C in the form of the ester Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate that helps stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and brighten the skin. It also has 5% Niacinamide that makes skin more resilient and refines it, and Alpha Arbutin, which further evens out the skin tone by helping to fade spots.
Directions: Use in the morning after cleansing, before applying moisturizer.
Step 1: Apply a few drops to freshly cleansed skin in the morning.
Step 2: Gently massage into your face and neck using upward motions.
Step 3: Follow with your favourite moisturiser or facial oil to lock in hydration.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Alpha-Arbutin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Phytate, CI 15985 (Yellow 6), Tocopherol, CI 16035 (Red 40).
Votary Ultra Rich Cream: What is remarkable is the fact that Votary accidentally sent Boxwalla their Ultra Rich Cream instead of their Ultimate Light Cream, and I am grateful for this mistake! This is my new all-time favorite face cream, and it is utterly magical. The peptides were selected for their ability to smooth and firm the skin while the ceramides support the skin barrier while locking in vital moisture. While this is a rich cream, the texture is light to mid weight, and it melts into the skin immediately without leaving behind a greasy residue. It leaves my skin soft, supple, moisturized and remarkably luminous. It has a very light herbal aroma, informed by the natural ingredients– not added fragrance– and it feels and smells ultra-luxe.

According to Boxwalla,

This beautiful cream is another must-have in my skincare toolkit. Sometimes my skin craves a moisturizer that feels deeply comforting without becoming heavy or greasy—and this one delivers beautifully. It wraps the skin in lasting nourishment while still feeling elegant and absorbing effortlessly. Your skin simply drinks it up, feeling replenished, comforted, and wonderfully radiant.

This cream contains a Biomimetic Peptide Duo that strengthens the skin’s structure while improving firmness and resilience. Ceramides help repair and reinforce the skin barrier, reducing sensitivity and improving moisture retention, while Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) soothes, hydrates, and supports overall skin comfort. The result is skin that feels stronger, smoother, and beautifully nourished with every use.
Directions: Apply after cleansing and any serums, morning and/or night.

Step 1: After cleansing, take a small amount and massage gently into face and neck using your fingertips.

Step 2: Allow the cream to absorb fully for deeply nourished and hydrated skin.

⚠ Contains Vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use.

Overall Assessment: I am a devoted fan of both Boxwalla and Votary, and this skillfully curated box is simply exquisite. I highly recommend getting this box– especially since Boxwalla's warehouse search will mean that this could be the last beauty box for a few months. A+
