Kari with Delphenium

Hi, I’m Dr. Kari!

I started Mae Botanicals in 2019 to help people care for their skin, tend their relationship to the land, and build their daily magical rituals. I am also a Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, Biofeedback Practitioner, Herbalist, Gardner, and Witch.

I created Mae Botanicals Skincare for people like me: people with sensitive skin, scent sensitivity, or those seeking skincare that feels like a practice, not a performance. My products are designed to support daily ritual, not impose one. I don’t use essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or unnecessary ingredients, just whole-plant infusions, hand-distilled hydrosols, and compostable or reusable packaging.

Rooted in queer, anti-capitalist values, my work centers connection over consumption, and supports people in reclaiming relationship to their bodies, the land, and the plants. Whether you are looking for skincare, natural beeswax candles, or beautiful garlands, Mae Botanicals has something for you to Find Your Ritual.

From Seed to Shipping

Started from seed in early spring, every plant is tended as I allow them to grow and flourish from coldframe to garden. I honor these plants with love and care by growing with organic and regenerative practices. I listen to the plants and the soil to hear the messages and wisdom they have to share with us.

Plants are harvested by hand at their peak when color, aroma, and therapeutic compounds are most vibrant. Each plant is either distilled fresh or quickly dried at low temperatures to preserve the full spectrum of benefits and the vitality of the land it grew on. These whole dry plants are infused into the highest quality organic carrier oils and allowed to macerate for 6-8 weeks

Whole plant infusion and distillation honors the rich complexity of the plants by retaining the complete energetic, aromatic, and medicinal profiles. This synergistic extraction can be seen in the color and scent of each product. I never add essential oils, fragrances, or colors. The active ingredients in Mae Botanicals products are directly from the plants.
