Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and one of the most powerful messengers for what’s going on within. Rather than masking symptoms, true skin wellness starts from the inside out. That’s why we’re obsessed with using herbs for glowing skin, and why our blends are crafted to support the body holistically.
At Wildly Botanical, we believe that radiance is a reflection of balance. In this guide, we’re sharing our top 5 favorite herbal ingredients for radiant skin, how we use them in our products, and some DIY tips to help you create your own botanical skincare rituals at home.
🌹 1. Rosehips
Why We Love It: Rosehips are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids—all of which help boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and brighten dull or uneven skin tone.
How We Use It:
You’ll find rosehips in our Mother Freely Tea, a skin-supporting blend that nourishes your body from the inside out while delivering glow-worthy plant nutrients.
DIY Tip:
Brew a strong cup of rosehip tea, let it cool, and use it as a facial toner. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in a glass spray bottle.
💧 2. Blue Tansy
Why We Love It: Blue tansy is a soothing, anti-inflammatory powerhouse known for calming redness, irritation, and hormonal breakouts. It’s rich in azulene—a compound that gives it that dreamy blue hue.
How We Use It:
While not in our teas (this one is best used topically!), we include Blue Tansy in our ROSE + FRANK facial line, designed to hydrate, soothe, and balance your skin barrier.
Selfcare Tip:
Use several drops of ROSE + FRANK facial glow oil and massage gently onto clean skin for a calming bedtime facial.
🌿 3. Burdock Root
Why We Love It: Traditionally used as a blood purifier, burdock root supports the liver and lymphatic system—two of your skin’s best friends. It helps clear congestion, reduce acne, and improve skin clarity from within.
How We Use It:
You’ll find burdock in our Daily Liver Detox Tea, blended with dandelion and nettle to encourage gentle detoxification and radiant skin support.
DIY Tip:
Sip 1-2 cups daily during your morning or afternoon self-care window. Pair with dry brushing and deep breathing for an added glow boost.
🌾 4. Alfalfa
Why We Love It: Alfalfa is often called the “father of all foods”—and for good reason. It’s packed with chlorophyll, vitamin K, and trace minerals that nourish the skin and support healthy cellular regeneration.
How We Use It:
Featured in both IMMUNITEA and MOTHER FREELY herbal tea, alfalfa plays a quiet but powerful role in supporting your skin from deep within.
DIY Tip:
Blend a cooled alfalfa tea with raw honey and apply as a skin-soothing mask for 10 minutes before rinsing.
🌿 5. Frankincense
Why We Love It: Sacred, grounding, and anti-aging—frankincense supports cellular turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and promotes a luminous, even skin tone.
How We Use It:
Frankincense is a star in our ROSE + FRANK skincare, meant for deep nourishment and grounding in your skincare routine.
DIY Tip:
Add a drop of frankincense essential oil to your palm with your daily moisturizer or oil. Inhale deeply and press gently into your skin and heart space.
