Most medicinal compounds originate in nature. The pervading philosophy of modern science is to identify this natural compound, isolate it, and synthetically reproduce it. While this is an excellent strategy for mass production, and to maximize profitability, I think it is inherently flawed. Over billions of years of plant evolution, nature has created a balance. There is a synergy between various compounds in a plant. When you tear apart one naturally occurring compound, you are necessarily stripping off its inherent balance and natural synergy. Isolated, it may give you a certain desired benefit, but the price is many, undesirable side effects. We commonly see this in modern drugs. With every claim of benefit, there is a disclaimer for possibly multiple side effects. Unfortunately, some side effects are still hidden and occur in the long run and hence not linked with that drug. Additionally, synthetically producing these compounds alters its bio-availability. As a scientist, I am alarmed to see same trend occurring in practically unregulated cosmetic industry, where companies are free to introduce these isolated compounds and designer ingredients without sufficient safety studies. In last ten years, as the use of beauty products has increased, the skin cancer cases have almost doubled. In the same period, endocrinal diseases as well as infertility has reached an epidemic proportions.Harnessing the existing synergies in nature is a simple, yet paradigm shifting approach to formulating skin care products that are not only effective but also are safe. Using whole botanical ingredients that are not isolated, processed or bleached practically eliminates the chances of side effects. Avoiding the use of petrochemicals and other toxic ingredients commonly used in the industry, also sets a higher safety standard for products that are put in our bodies through our Skin. At OM Botanical, we use full spectrum (non-isolated) bio-active botanical ingredients. We believe that using whole ingredients mitigates the side effects of a single, active chemical. We also study the synergistic effects of multiple ingredients and combine those which enhance bio-availability of the product. Additionally, we reject the use of petrochemicals, synthetic compounds, preservatives and perfumes. ...read more
