FAQ

Our first product collection's name, Botanic.Oil is a symbol of what we are. A Botanically driven skincare and self-care range, we use a harmonious mixture of Botanical extracts and essential Oil. Each product recipe has been carefully put together using extracts and oils that compliment each other, and work hand in hand in order to deliver the many natural qualities found in each individual ingredient, enhancing our skin physically, and providing us a sense of relaxation and self-care, promoting a mental balance too!

Yes! We source 100% natural ingredients for all of our products wherever possible, our product descriptions will tell you which of our products are made 100% natural. Our botanically driven product range is focused around natural botanical plant extracts and essential oils meaning that sometimes where our products include water and oil, emulsifying agents to bind and stabilise our products are necessary, as is the need to prevent any microorganisms that would thrive in such environments from destroying our products, in these cases we use the lowest amounts of best quality synthetic ingredients and globally approved paraben free preservitives, capable of protecting the quality and shelf life of our products. We only use reputable suppliers of high quality ingredients, and we use minimal quantities of these ingredients to ensure our finished products are as natural as safely possible.

YES! We are opposed to all forms of animal testing and we can ensure you no animal testing is carried out on our products. We only work with suppliers that share our values and have policies in place.

All of our SKINCARE products are suitable for vegans. Our products are Botanically driven, and contain plant based, or plant derived ingredients. Our Marine Collagen (found in our Seaweed Facial Serum) is seaweed derived. Our Hyaluronic Acid is produced via fermentation of sugar derived from vegetables. In the event of any individual product NOT being Vegan suitable, it will be clearly noted on the Product description. *Please note, due to the use of Honey, our Elastic Strength Shampoo & Conditioner is NOT VEGAN SUITABLE.

We are so pleased you asked! ... The answer is our Botanic.Oil Signature Scent. Our irresistible fragrance is thanks to some of Mother Nature's most sumptuous smelling plants & flowers, creating a perfume that is subtle but highly satisfying to the senses ... Please note that we do use a blend of essential oils in our perfume. Our fragrance ingredients are always in line with IFRA regulations.

Here at AJS we work alongside a trusted technical team, to establish and approve each individually designed product recipe, our products are then made in a GMP accredited factory by experienced chemists, extrenally tested and safety assessed, before arriving at The AJS Studio to finally be individually bottled and lovingly hand labelled by ourselves, before being sent directly to you.

We do! Even the most natural skincare products require preservatives, which are necessary to protect against the growth of dangerous microorganisms that can destroy our products and be a hazard for your skin. Some of our products use Vitamin E as a preservative, amongst its other many benefits it is also an effective preservative in many of our oils and serums. Where necessary to protect our products further, we use only globally approved paraben-free preservatives (Ethylhexylglycerin and Phenoxyethanol). We never add more than 1% in any of our products, we use the bare minimum in order to achieve effectiveness in preventing any bacterial, yeast and fungal growth.
