8 Days Botanicals: Farm-to-Bottle Organic Skincare & Body Care
8 Days Botanicals is an organic, farm-to-bottle skincare and body care brand founded on a simple “do no harm” philosophy. Rooted in nature and mindful self-care, the brand creates vegan, cruelty-free products designed to nourish the skin while bringing an elevated sense of ritual and well-being to everyday routines.
Founded in 2017 by Rose Leshner, a certified herbalist, aromatherapist, and cosmetic formulator, 8 Days Botanicals grew from a passion for plants, natural formulation, and the connection between beauty and emotional wellness. Rose’s sister Emily is also part of the family-run business, and together they were inspired by the uplifting power of the flowers they grew during a challenging time. Their shared experience helped shape the brand’s philosophy of capturing the beauty and therapeutic qualities of botanicals in thoughtfully formulated self-care products.
The Story Behind 8 Days Botanicals
Rose Leshner brought years of experience in product development and botanical formulation to the creation of 8 Days Botanicals. Her approach centers on creating formulas with carefully selected natural ingredients and a strong emphasis on purity. The brand’s formulation philosophy is summed up by Rose’s memorable mantra, “So good you could eat it,” reflecting her commitment to simple, recognizable, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Farm-to-Bottle Beauty from Northern California
A defining feature of 8 Days Botanicals is its connection to 8Days Herb Farm, a 40-acre family-run flower farm located in Sebastopol, California, in Northern California’s wine country. The farm provides an authentic foundation for the brand’s farm-to-bottle approach.
The sisters grow and harvest many of the botanicals used in their products, including fresh herbs and flowers. Botanical ingredients and handcrafted hydrosol distillates can move directly from the fields into their formulations, creating a unique connection between the farm and finished product.
When ingredients cannot be grown on their own farm, 8 Days Botanicals works with transparent, small-batch organic farms and producers. This careful sourcing philosophy helps the brand maintain greater visibility into where its ingredients come from while supporting other responsible growers.
Clean, Vegan & Cruelty-Free Formulations
8 Days Botanicals is committed to creating conscious skincare and body care without unnecessary synthetic ingredients. The brand formulates without synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, dyes, and aluminum, instead using botanical ingredients, slow extraction methods, and pure essential oils to create naturally aromatic products.
All 8 Days Botanicals products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, making the collection a natural fit for consumers looking for plant-based and ethically made beauty products.
A Commitment to Sustainable Beauty
Sustainability is woven into the 8 Days Botanicals philosophy from the farm to the finished product. The brand manufactures its products in a solar-powered facility and uses an electric delivery vehicle for local transportation, helping reduce the environmental impact of its operations.
Its farm-to-bottle model also creates a more direct relationship between the ingredients, growers, and finished products. By growing botanicals on its own farm and partnering with other small organic producers when needed, 8 Days Botanicals keeps its sourcing approach closely connected to nature and responsible agriculture.
Aromatherapy-Inspired Self-Care
8 Days Botanicals takes a unique approach to fragrance by organizing its collection around mood-inspired aromatherapeutic experiences. Instead of simply focusing on traditional fragrance categories, the brand creates botanical scent profiles intended to complement different moments and moods.
The Joy collection features an uplifting citrus-inspired blend with grapefruit and neroli. Love offers a grounding and harmonizing combination of rose, sandalwood, and geranium. Serenity centers on calming lavender and chamomile, creating a peaceful and meditative experience. Evergreen brings a crisp, grounding character inspired by redwood and pine.
These thoughtfully developed aromatic profiles transform everyday skincare and body care into sensory rituals that encourage slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and taking a moment for yourself.
