Motherhood changes everything—your body, your perspective, your priorities. For many of us, it also awakens a deeper awareness of the choices we make every day: what we eat, what we breathe in, and what we put on our skin.
That awareness is what inspired the birth of Anthos Botanica.
During my second pregnancy, we moved into a new home with a lush backyard—green and full of possibility. But that little slice of paradise came with one major problem: mosquitoes. I couldn’t step outside without getting covered in bites. And as a pregnant mom, I wasn’t willing to douse myself in harsh chemical sprays.
So I began looking for natural solutions—products that claimed to be safe and effective. But what I found was frustrating: most “natural” repellents either didn’t work, smelled terrible, or left a greasy film on my skin. I was determined to find something better.
That’s when I discovered Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, an EPA-registered, plant-based ingredient known for its high efficacy. It was clean, effective, and backed by science—finally, a solution I could trust.
From that discovery, Anthos Botanica was born.
But the story isn’t just about bugs and sprays—it’s about motherhood. Like so many moms, I found myself reading every label, researching every ingredient, and wanting only the safest, most thoughtful products for our growing family. That instinct—to protect, to care, to question—was the seed of something bigger.
Being a mom-founded brand means everything to us. It means we build with purpose. We create products that work beautifully without compromise. We honor the health of our families, the wisdom of nature, and the strength of women who do it all.
This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the moms who nurture, protect, and pave the way for something better. Whether you're running a household, a career, or both—you are seen, you are powerful, and you inspire us every day.
