A Comprehensive Look at Botanist Tokyo’s Top Natural Products

[Only at Botanist Tokyo] Botanical Shampoo & Treatment

This is a part of the popular Botanist product series that is only sold at Botanist Tokyo. When the store opened in July 2017, this Open Commemorative Total Kit completely sold out!

Made out of carefully selected plant-derived ingredients, they are natural products that feel great on the skin. They smell of muguet (lily-of-the-valley), which in the language of the flowers, represents the bringing of good luck. With their sophistication and original labels, they will make your bath time both blissful and luxurious.

Testing Them

The products foam very well and wash off easily. After use, the hair stays smooth all day and smells amazing. It almost smells like you've put on perfume, except it's not as strong as that! Great for those that want a great and natural, but not overpowering fragrance.

Check Out Their Regular Botanical Shampoo & Treatment Products Too!

You'll also be able to find their regular shampoo and treatment products at Botanist Tokyo. Since their market debut, they've maintained steady popularity.

There are also many other haircare and beauty products available. Trying the testers can be pretty fun!

The first product on the right in the photo is the Botanical Hair Water (apple & peach, 1,400 yen plus tax), a water-type treatment that can also be used as a perfume replacement. The next product is the Botanical Hair Milk (moist or smooth, 1,700 yen plus tax) that's full of plant ingredients that will penetrate and repair your hair. Lastly, there's the Botanical Hair Oil (moist or smooth, 1,700 yen plus tax). This will help bring out the natural shine in your hair.

Testing Them

As mentioned earlier, their regular products are quite popular as well. The hair water, hair milk and hair oil all give different results, so it's best to use all of the products instead of just one.

The Botanical Hair Mask (1,700 yen plus tax) pictured below is highly recommended. It provides concentrated care and treatment to your hair, so it looks as shiny as if you went to a salon for treatment!

Botanical Body Soap & Milk

Botanist products are not just focused around haircare. There's also a comprehensive range of body care products, such as their Botanical Body Soap (various types at 1,000 yen plus tax for each). Carefully made from natural botanical ingredients and water, it won't strip away the natural oils on your skin. It's also eco-friendly, as it can easily be broken down by microorganisms after you rinse it off. Alternatively, there's the Botanist Botanical Bar Skin Soap (1,000 yen plus tax). This soap takes 75 days to make, and is full of concentrated beauty ingredients.

Both of these products are great for those with sensitive skin, as they're natural and creamy. They're also great for those looking to lead a more healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle!

They'll be going on sale from October 16, 2017, so look out for them!

Testing Them

When using the Botanical Body Soap, it feels as if you're being enveloped by tiny bubbles. After usage, you will feel like every part of your body, down to your pores, is squeaky clean. The skin feels really smooth afterwards too!

[Hot Topic] Botanical Mouth Wash & Botanical Tooth Paste

The diem Botanical Mouth Wash (Ginger Aroma Mint or Rose Aroma Mint, 1,000 yen plus tax for each) is an oral care product made from plants and other natural ingredients. It helps to prevent bad breath, gingivitis and periodontitis. The fragrance comes from essential oils, so you'll be able to enjoy a natural fragrance that reminds you of the bounties of nature.

They also sell toothpaste! One key characteristic is that because they don't have synthetic surfactants, they don't foam. Despite this, the diem Botanical Tooth Paste (1,200 yen plus tax) has tooth whitening effects, while the diem Botanical Tooth Gel (1,200 yen plus tax) moistens the mouth and prevents bad breath. They're all made-in-Japan products that use carefully chosen ingredients, so they're extremely popular!

Testing Them

The toothpaste and gel feel a bit strange at first, since they don't really foam, but they polish the teeth well and leave a smooth feel. You'll fall in love with it! It is recommended to use the tooth gel for preventing bad breath in the morning, and the whitening paste in the evening, but there's no problem even if you use them at other times.

By the way, the Rose Mint Mouth Wash sold out when the store opened, so it's definitely a hot item to look out for when visiting Tokyo! 

[Hot Topic] Handy Stick Type Mouth Wash

If you're looking for a light and cheap souvenir to take home, then go for the diem Botanical Mouthwash Stick! They come in a pack of 6 (3 flavors) for just 500 yen (plus tax), so they're very reasonably priced. The new Lime Bergamot Aroma Mint flavor is only available for the mouthwash sticks.

[Only At Botanist Tokyo] Assorted Botanical Candles

You can only find these candles at Botanist Tokyo! Costing 1,800 yen (plus tax) each, there are 5 types - Oak, Dew, Forest, Earth and Turf. They're just the right size to take home as gifts!
