The brand: The aim of Botanics is to reject and breakaway from the world of skincare that is defined by chemicals, false promises and harmful ingredients. The skincare brand goes above and beyond to keep organic ingredients, authenticity and global-betterment at the essence of everything they do. More than just holistic ingredients, the full brand experience aims to be one which is beneficial to a positive lifestyle – from packaging to brand experiences. Botanics is more than a skincare routine – it is lifestyle.

Outline market: Age range: 25-44. Their price point is on the higher end, which makes it more of a lifestyle choice versus an entry level. A brand that people in their mid 20s start getting serious on due to price point and the beginning of real skincare concerns. Gender: Unisex. The packaging and brand lends itself well to both men and women.

Lifestyle: Botanics has a deep rooted focus on organic products, plant and herb based formulations. This lends itself well to people who want to be chemical free, but yet want effective products, and are concerned about what they put in and on their bodies.

Brief and Tasks: The brief had one core one fundamental at the essence of all decisions – the strategy, packaging and website had to all be earth friendly. Botanics wanted to birth a brand that leaves no trace on the environment whilst keeping quality at the forefront of all decisions. Key objectives were to find packaging solutions that have the lowest carbon footprint, packaging methods that would be best for shipping and take up the least volume when sending them globally. The website design set out to make use of servers, hosts and endpoints with environmental and sustainable carbon-offsetting approaches. Botanics aims to be synonymous with consideration, care and luxury formulations.

Key Strategic Decisions: Because so much effort and research went into the products themselves, it was important that the packaging and strategy encompassed this while letting the formulations speak for themselves. Glass, aluminium and Kraft packaging were used wherever possible – we also added in interactive environmentally friendly strategy into the campaign by adding recycling programs and social media campaigns to drive the sustainability in order to create a broader movement and in-turn, brand awareness.
