The name Philosophia Botanica evokes the source of its ingredients as well as the purity and the natural specifics of its products. The South African brand was established in Cape Town in 2013, and is the brainchild of wellness practitioner Francesca Canzano-Franklin. There is ancient wisdom and true meaning behind the brand. The exclusive formula of our award winning skincare range is inspired by the magnificent nature surrounding the Atlantic Ocean, adaptogenic herbs and the wilderness of the African plants and botanical oils, as well as the Founder's passion for eastern traditional technique and Chinese medicine. Philosophia Botanica is made from a variety of ecological sources. Each source promotes traditional plant-based knowledge and represents an inspiring story of organic agriculture, sustainability and the preservation of botanical culture.
