Brand overview
Harmonie Botanicals is a skincare brand created by Gayle, a formulator whose journey with rosacea inspired her mission to develop gentle yet effective skincare solutions. The brand’s high-performance botanical products are specifically crafted for delicate and reactive skin, blending scientific knowledge with nature’s wisdom. Each formula is meticulously developed, featuring responsibly sourced ingredients that soothe, nurture, and pamper the skin.
While born from a need for rosacea-friendly options, Harmonie Botanicals’ minimal yet powerful formulas benefit all skin types. Gayle takes pride in formulating in small batches to cater to gluten-free, fragrance-free, and vegan-friendly requirements.
Gayle acknowledges that Formula Botanica was instrumental in helping her start and grow her skincare business. She states, “The comprehensive education I received provided me with a solid foundation in formulation techniques and ingredient knowledge. This empowered me to create unique products tailored specifically for rosacea-prone skin, which became the cornerstone of my brand. Beyond formulation, Formula Botanica equipped me with crucial business skills. Their support extended far beyond the classroom, offering guidance throughout my studies and early stages of business development.” Gayle credits this holistic approach for giving her the confidence to transform her passion into a viable enterprise.
