Products Update

Botanical beauty products, which stem from herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds, or berries, can prevent and even reverse all types of skin woes—and patients can't get enough of them. Add in some A-list celeb endorsements and investment from pharma, and you've got a lot more than a fad—you've got a movement.

“The desire for sustainable and green ingredients is really big right now and is extremely popular with consumers. Educating our patients about these products is essential. They are not always 100 percent botanical, and many still contain some preservatives, however, they likely have fewer of the ingredients that patients are concerned with. Just because they are ‘natural' doesn't mean they can't have side effects. After all, poison ivy is natural, too! More and more patients will be asking about botanicals in skincare, and we should be prepared to answer their questions and make product recommendations and suggestions when needed,” says Diane Berson, MD, a New York City dermatologist.
