Powered by Plants, Botanics has been a brand with purpose for 26 years, using the power of plants to deliver benefits beyond beauty. We create accessibly‑priced, plant‑powered products that are good for your skin, your wellbeing and the planet.

Founded in 1985, Sleek Makeup was created in response to deeper skin tones being underrepresented in the market. Loved by women of all skin tones, we became an instant hit with the locals. After years of success, we quickly became a brand known for providing on‑trend, high‑quality products, which weren't typically available at our price point, and being accessible across all skin tones.

We still embody the passion and ambition of those who created the brand nearly 35 years ago and we are not afraid to do it our way.
