Blue Sky Botanics adds new range of home grown botanical extracts to Phyta brand

UK company Blue Sky Botanics has added a new range of home grown botanical extracts to its Phyta brand. The Phytafarm range features five products, each with individual benefits: Ivy is claimed to detoxify and stimulate circulation; Oak Bark is rich in tannins and boasts astringent action on oily hair and skin; White Willow contains salicylic acid for exfoliating and skin brightening effects; Oats sooth and moisturise, and are a good source of vitamins and minerals for skin and hair; and Echinacea promotes cell renewal while providing a skin firming effect.

Ingredients in the Phytafarm line are grown at Castle Farm in Herefordshire, UK.

“Biodiversity, long-term sustainability and organic farming are the key drivers at Castle Farm so we are very excited to be launching this new range of botanical extracts made from plants grown and wild harvested on our own farm,” said Blue Sky Botanics director James Lambe.
