One of our bestselling emollient creams, Starflower Cream is moisturising and calming. Contains natural, active herbal extracts like Borage seed oil, naturally high in GLA, an important Omega-6 fatty acid needed for healthy skin cell walls. Without GLA, your skin cells can't keep enough moisture in - resulting in dry, itchy skin. Borage oil penetrates the skin, delivering GLA benefits directly to your skin cells, helping your skin to stay moisturised and healthy.

Frequently asked questions

Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their structure, properties, and biochemical processes. Our Napiers’ skincare range has roots in botany, too.It is essential because it helps us understand which plants have beneficial properties for skin health. We use this knowledge to extract natural ingredients that nourish, heal, and rejuvenate the skin.

We use plant-based ingredients in our products because they are often rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential oils, which are highly beneficial for the skin. These natural compounds can help combat free radicals, soothe inflammation, and promote hydration and elasticity in the skin, making them ideal for use in skincare products.

Natural remedies can be effective for various skin types, but individual results may vary depending on specific skin conditions and sensitivities. We recommend patch-testing new products and consulting with a dermatologist to ensure that any natural skincare product is suitable for your skin type, especially if you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

We prioritise sustainability and ethical practices in sourcing our botanical ingredients. We partner with as many local and ethical suppliers who use a variety of organic and environmentally friendly farming techniques where possible. This not only ensures the purity and efficacy of our ingredients but also supports sustainable practices in agriculture.

Natural skincare products may be able to replace conventional skincare products. They can effectively address many skin concerns and may replace conventional products depending on your skin’s needs. However, some skin conditions might require specialised treatments, so we recommend using natural skincare as part of a balanced approach to skin health.

Some of the most beneficial plants for skin health include aloe vera, known for its soothing and hydrating properties; chamomile, which calms skin irritations; and green tea, rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage. We harness these and many other unique botanicals to create formulations that support healthy, vibrant skin.

The time it takes to see results from natural skincare products can vary as our skin and bodies are all very unique. Some products, like hydrating masks or soothing gels, can offer immediate relief and visible results. Other products, such as those targeting ageing or deep hydration, may take several weeks of consistent use to show significant improvements.

If you have allergies to specific plants, we recommend reading our product labels carefully and consulting with your healthcare provider before using new skincare products. Our customer service team is also available to answer any questions about specific ingredients.

You can learn more about our botanical ingredients in each of our product descriptions, where we provide detailed descriptions and benefits of each ingredient used in our products. Additionally, our blog features articles, offering deeper insights into how these natural elements work to enhance skin health.
