Have An Organic Pampering Session With Botaneco Garden Combines Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey!



Mouse mommy is a user of Botaneco Garden Trio Oil range haircare series. Glad that Guardian Malaysia has introduced the Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range, a nature inspired solution that deeply moisturises and protects dry skin and hair with the benefits of traditional home remedies[1],[2] minus the mess. 

Of course, mouse mommy would love to try out this new range!


Themed ‘Be A Mess Free Beauty’ the launch held at A Cut Above Academy, highlighted the messy challenges of preparing DIY beauty remedies using chia seed and honey in a light-hearted take on YouTube tutorials, while sharing the benefits of the two ingredients for the real problem of dry skin and dry hair.

Awww… turn Chia Seed Oil and Honey into my favourite Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range, that able to deep moist and protect entire family members!


Air-conditioned environments, showers, blow drying hair on high heat and harsh personal care products that do not suit the skin and hair condition of the user can all contribute to dryness[3]. As we get older, skin loses the dewiness of youth, and our scalp produces less oils resulting in dry hair[4][5], same goes to mouse mommy too.


With so many factors arrayed against achieving the holy grail of dewy, smooth skin, and lustrous, shiny locks, what can you do?


Glad that the new Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range offers a solution for eco-conscious person who prefer a gentle yet effective personal care range. 

It includes the aptly named Deep Moist and Protect shampoo, conditioner, hair oil, body wash, body lotion and hand cream for daily hair and skin care focused on moisturisation and protection of dry to normal skin and hair.


Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey Deep Moist and Protect Body Wash 500ml is suitable for dry skin as it helps to nourish and protect the skin against daily aggressions, while soothing the skin. 

It is blended with CoQ to help improve the appearance of wrinkles and promotes smooth and supple skin.


The range is formulated with 100% eco-certified organic chia seed oil from Germany to restore skin and hair’s natural moisture barrier and to retain moisture, and enriched with organic honey extract from France that is high in minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants. 

The combination of 100% eco-certified organic chia seed oil and organic honey extract provides moisturisation and hydration that is ideal for dry to normal skin types. It is dermatologically tested and proven. It is not tested on animals.


The entire Botaneco Garden range of 58 products, including the new Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey line is available only at Guardian Malaysia. Mouse mommy loves the Botaneco Garden personal care range so much as in the price range is really affordable and great in quality for organic series products. Love it!  

The Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range is priced from RM 9.34 for the Deep Moist and Protect hand cream to RM18.77 for the Deep Moist and Protect shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion.  


Guardian Health & Beauty Sdn. Bhd, Brand Manager, Health & Beauty Own Brand, Malaysia & Brunei, Ms Michelle Yeap explained that the Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range was developed to deliver mess-free products based on global cosmeceutical trends, and the needs of Guardian’s customers in the region.

“Nature-inspired, deeply moisturising and protective solutions for dry skin and dry hair are high on our customers’ wish list. We studied numerous eco-certified and organic ingredients before finding the unique combination of 100% eco-certified chia seed oil and organic honey extract that provided the effective moisturising and hydration and benefits for dry to normal skin,” Ms Yeap said.


“Our core consumers enjoy the clean beauty of DIY home preparations but are put off by the amount of time, effort and cost involved in do-it-yourself remedies. The preparation followed by the clean-up of the kitchen and bath after is a workout in itself! There is also the risk of using the wrong recipe at home where the ratio of the ingredients do not deliver good results.”


The Botaneco Garden team demonstrated the possible DIY fails and messiness of preparing chia seed and honey beauty aids for skin and hair in the Botaneco Garden Mess Free Beauty YouTube studio.


“For the Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range Botaneco Garden put in the goodness of two functional ingredients to give our consumers an affordable full personal care line that works for dry to normal skin types. It is dermatologically tested and proven so that you can be a mess-free beauty. Use it straight from the bottle or the tube, it is gentle enough for daily use,” she added.


Guests at the Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey launch experienced the mess-free benefits of this line through a full salon hair wash, condition and blow dry service, followed by a manicure with hand massage provided at A Cut Above Academy.


“We tested the Botaneco Garden Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey shampoo, conditioner, hair oil, body lotion and hand cream ahead of this event to familiarise, and the results were impressive. The shampoo does not produce much foam which is a good thing as foam can strip hair of natural oils, drying it out. The conditioner increased manageability and reduced frizz. The hair oil is a star that makes styling easier and natural looking without weighing down hair,” said Mr Peter Wong, Head of the A Cut Above Academy.


There are five product lines under the Botaneco Garden brand namely Inca Inchi which uses Inca Inchi and Aloe Vera as key ingredients, the premium Organic Argan and Olive Oil range, Botaneco Garden Baby which uses eco-certified chamomile and colloidal oatmeal for a gentle and effective baby range; the Trio Oil range which uses 100% eco-certified oil  - Babassu oil, Baobab oil and Chufa oil, and the new Organic Chia Seed Oil and Honey range.

Fall In Love With Guardian New Botaneco Garden Trio Oil Organic Anti-Dandruff Haircare Range!


Dandruff can have several causes, with dry skin being the most common cause of flaking dandruff. Other causes include, irregular or incorrect scalp and hair care, over-shampooing and sensitivity to hair care products.
                                  
There are many anti-dandruff treatments. While the majority of anti-dandruff treatment is effective in reducing the formation of dandruff flakes, there is a concern that hair and scalp can be stripped off protective oils making the scalp more prone to flaking due to dryness, and making hair dry and difficult to manage.


Guardian has introduced an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner to its popular nature-inspired Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil range.  The Botaneco Garden brand is conceptualized, developed, produced, and is available exclusively at Guardian. The anti-dandruff variant is an option for eco-conscious consumers who prefer a gentle yet effective daily shampoo and conditioner to address dandruff.

Mouse mommy’s scalp has dandruffs too and I always use anti-dandruff shampoo to wash my hair in daily basis. But the outcome is my scalp feeling itchiness and I tend to scratch it. My scalp gets irritated and cause even more dandruffs.

Mouse mommy feels so grateful to get to know Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil range as in it really helps in solve my dandruff problem. I feel refreshing and no more itchiness after one hair wash. Such a releasing feeling!  


The refreshing scent can be smell once I pump out from the shampoo. It is the mixture of all these natural ingredients of peppermint oil, menthol, tea tree, coconut oil, jojoba oil and the three 100% eco-certified essential oils - Babassu, Baobab and Chufa. Love it so much!  

Guardian Own Brand Director of Health & Beauty, Mr Alfonso Roderos explained that the company is experiencing similar growth in the hair care and skin care segments through brands such as Botaneco Garden.


Mr Alfonso Roderos, Guardian Own Brand Director of Health & Beauty, shared that the Botaneco Garden brand is growing rapidly in tandem with increased consumer interest in green products. The brand now features a robust roster of 43 products since its introduction in 2013.

“Increasingly global trends are moving towards more environmentally conscious, caring and gentle products. These products often see a greater use of green, organic based, sustainable ingredients. It has been the global concern to reduce pollution and the degradation of the environment as well as giving confidence in the quality the process brings. With Botaneco Garden, Guardian is able to give consumers what they desire at an affordable price and with the assurance of a dermatologically tested and proven product range with quality, eco-certified ingredients,” Mr Roderos said.


There are four product categories under the Botaneco Garden brand namely Inca Inchi which uses Inca Inchi and Aloe Vera as key ingredients, the premium Organic Argan and Olive Oil range Botaneco Garden Baby which uses eco-certified chamomile and colloidal oatmeal for a gentle and effective baby range; and the Trio Oil range which uses  a trifecta of 100% eco-certified oil  - Babassu, Baobab and Chufa.

All Botaneco Garden products feature a free-from formulation - free from specific ingredients such as Parabens, silicone, soap, colorant, lanolin & DEA for a unique and caring formulation that is kinder to skin and hair, and to the environment.

Each product within the Botaneco Garden Trio Oil range features five moisturisers – the three main oils, and two others that are chosen for their specific functions for hair and skin. The Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti –Dandruff shampoo and conditioner are  enriched with Jojoba and Coconut oil. The moisturising benefits of this range make it gentle and effective in reducing flaky dandruff which ordinarily results from excessive drying of skin and over-activity of the oil gland.


Research studies highlight the benefits of jojoba oil as a moisturizing ingredient. Traditionally jojoba oil have been used in Latin American hair and beauty remedies as a skin and hair conditioner. It is noted for its fast absorption.

Coconut oil has well-studied hair moisture-retaining capabilities. It has been traditionally used for skin and hair conditioning, and for reducing the signs of dandruff by alleviating dry scalp conditions.

The high level of usage results in shampoos being the largest personal care category, representing 37% of the total global hair care market.  With Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, the usage of shampoo may be higher than the global average as most Malaysians tend to wash their hair daily.

“With the Botaneco Garden, we have created a balance between nature and science that provides a gentle and caring hair care routine, even for dandruff prone scalp and hair. The five times moisturisers in Botaneco Garden products address dry scalp, the most frequent cause of dandruff. The use of essential oils such as peppermint, menthol and tea-tree that have been traditionally used for reducing flakes compliment the moisturising benefits in the Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti-dandruff range,” Ms Michelle Yeap, Product Manager, Group Health & Beauty.


Tea Tree Oil’s properties have been studied and tested in laboratory tests for its efficacy in reducing the formation of dandruff, and in improving scalp and hair condition. Peppermint contains menthol, selenium and zinc which are proven antiflake ingredients.

“For those with dandruff, take note that it cannot be cured but it can be reduced. Daily usage of a gentle, nature-inspired anti-dandruff hair care range such as Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner can help  to reduce the formation of flakes, while leaving hair smoother and more manageable. When hair and scalp are in better condition users can switch over to a gentle daily usage shampoo and conditioner, with the anti-dandruff range ready if the condition reoccurs,” Ms Yeap said.


The Botaneco Garden Organic Trio Oil Anti-dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner are priced at RM19.90 each, and are available at all Guardian stores nationwide, and through the Guardian e-store.
