Founding Story

Founder Hannah Kim comes from a background in green technology and natural supplements and spent several years traveling between the U.S. and Asia, living out of her suitcase. As a Korean-American, she was familiar with the famous 10-step routine for skincare and spent a lot of time refilling small travel containers with all her skincare products. However, when she turned 40, she noticed that the products she was using were no longer effective and were possibly even harming her skin with breakouts and blemishes.

During a visit to a close friend who was pregnant in her late 30s, she noticed that her friend's face was glowing, with no sign of large pores or fine wrinkles. Her friend introduced her to natural skincare products, but the high prices of these products were a bit overwhelming. This led her on a journey to research and experiment with natural ingredients to create a skincare product that would help hydrate and fight premature aging with fewer steps. It was also important for her to continue with the concept of sustainability and the use of natural, plant-based ingredients.

Many skincare brands use water as the main ingredient, but according to the United Nations (UN), water scarcity will be exacerbated due to increasing demand, climate change, and global pollution. Botanical Republic works with certified organic floral and herbal distillates, also known as "hydrosol," in place of water. Kim never thought she would become a natural skincare formulator, but as she did more research on natural ingredients, she became more intrigued. To find out the benefits of a particular ingredient, she began testing ingredients on herself and attended school to become a skincare formulator.

Botanical Republic officially launched in January 2020. Unfortunately, a couple of months later, the company was hit with the COVID-19 pandemic and was forced to temporarily suspend operations. This pandemic was a wake-up call for the entire beauty industry, as it taught it to focus more on living a healthier and sustainable lifestyle. Kim believes that many skincare consumers will gravitate towards the principles of conscious beauty that Botanical Republic believes in.
