"Natural Vegan Skincare brand, Almora Botanica, has launched in the UK with 7 products created to either prevent or repair skin damage. The products use powerful adaptogenic ingredients in the formulas, helping the skin to rebalance and adapt to any individual's needs. The high-impact formulations use the purest botanicals sourced from nature to deliver supple, nourished skin.

Special attention has been paid to adaptogenic ingredients – such as Borage seed and Centella Asiatica leaf extract – which strengthen collagen networks, smooth skin surfaces, and maintain epidermal balance while moisturising and nourishing the skin. Illustrating the brand’s commitment to nature, a powerful plant-based adaptogenic retinol extracted from molecularly distilled organic sunflower oil is used in products, such as the Nourishing Night Face Oil. Clinical trials for this product found that 100% of the skin felt more hydrated and nourished after 45 days of use, with 100% of participants agreeing that the appearance of the skin was healthier and plumper.

Integral to the unique formulations is the Sapta Complex delivery system utilised in two products in the line-up. A patent-pending lightweight base oil made from a propriety blend of seven cold-pressed oils, it has a viscosity that’s just five times that of water and ten times thinner than standard oils. Due to the molecular breakdown, this makes it able to instantly sink deep into the skin.

The Sapta Complex can be found in Almora’s ultra-light face oil: the Radiance Day Face Oil – the clinical trials for which found a 85% improvement in skin hydration after 45 days of use, with 100% of study participants agreeing the oil is well absorbed into the skin, and 96% agreeing that their skin feels more hydrated.

Almora Botanica was created by skincare expert Ravi Prasad, formerly Executive Chairman of Himalaya Wellness Company, a leading global natural and Ayurvedic company. He is joined by co-founder Chief Technical Officer Dr Deeleep Rout, who formally led natural products development at L’Oréal.

The formulations are made up of 98.5%-100% natural-origin ingredients, sourced from the highest quality and cleanest possible sources.

The Launch lineup includes: Purifying Gel Cleanser, Hydrating & Resilience Face Lotion, Radiance Day Face Oil, Nourishing Night Face Oil, Restorative Night Face Oil, Serum for Fine Lines, and Restorative Hand Cream.

Almora Botanica is now available at Almora Botanica and John Bell & Croyden."
