Botari Launches in the UK

BOTARI has launched in the UK with a Hand Cream Discovery Set, bringing Korean skincare technology, botanical ingredients and distinctive fragrances to daily hand care.

Founded by Korean-born British designer Molly Park, BOTARI draws on her experience leading design and product teams at Papier and Oliver Bonas. Park previously held the roles of Chief Creative & Product Officer at Papier and Head of Design, Home & Gift at Oliver Bonas, and brings that background to a collection spanning skincare and accessories.

The debut creams share lightweight gel-cream textures that absorb quickly and leave a non-greasy finish. Each has its own ingredient blend and fragrance, with scents ranging from incense and warm woods to fresh citrus and green, resinous notes.

Noni Renew combines a Noni Cell Culture Complex with Samphira Bioactive, a plant-derived retinol alternative that helps smooth the appearance of skin. Panthenol, rice bran oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E support softness and hydration, while its Rose Ember fragrance pairs incense and sandalwood with smoked woods.

Cica Protect focuses on dry, frequently washed hands, using centella and panthenol to support the moisture barrier. The formula also contains the microalgae antioxidant complex HelioPure Skin, glucosylrutin, jojoba oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E. Its Yuja Citrus scent combines soft citrus with green and herbal notes.

Charcoal Reset brings together activated bamboo charcoal and the prebiotic alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, alongside shea butter, rice bran oil, panthenol and vitamin E. The formula supports the skin’s microbiome and helps retain moisture, with Verdant Forest adding woody, green and mineral notes.

The Discovery Set contains three 20ml creams and is compatible with BOTARI’s £12 Hand Cream Charm. The full-size collection follows on 25 October, with each 70ml cream priced at £26. The range is available through BOTARI’s website.
