How it all started
Okologi Botanik is a Botanically Based Skincare Company based out of Tucson, AZ. We started experimenting with ingredients for a non-toxic deodorant in 2013 after feeling unsatisfied with what was found on the natural market. After months of trial and error with were rewarded with a powerful and safe formula that lasted through an Arizona summer. We were so excited to find a solution and we knew we needed to share it with others.
We are constantly experimenting and expanding our product assortment. We believe in creating products with safe ingredients. We believe in products that work. Our products will leave you feeling beautiful, fresh and give you a clean conscience knowing that you are doing what is best for your body and contributing to a happy, clean planet.
