Question 1

Are your products truly 100% natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every item in our line, from organic skincare and handcrafted soaps to herbal teas, is formulated without synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or artificial fillers. We use only plant-derived ingredients, essential oils, and natural extracts. You can verify every component in our detailed ingredient lists and mini-monographs available on our blog page.

Question 2

What does "crafted in small batches" mean for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To add media follow these steps:

It means freshness and precision.  We make our products in small quantities just before they ship. For our teas, this means herbs are precision-weighed fresh for your order, we never pre-mix large bulk batches and portion them out later. This ensures you receive the maximum potency and therapeutic benefit in every pouch.

Question 3

Do you test your products on animals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Aether Botanicals is strictly cruelty-free. We believe in healing through nature, not harm.

Question 4

Can I see exactly what is in my product?

Accepted Answer

Transparency is a core value of ours. Each product page includes a clear ingredient list, purpose-driven explanations of why we chose each botanical, and "mini-monographs" detailing the science behind the herbs and oils we use.

As we are a very small business, we apprechiate your patience as we continue to upload monographs on all the ingredients listed in our products.

Question 5

How should I store my Aether Botanicals products to maintain freshness and potency?

Accepted Answer

Because we craft our products in small batches using 100% natural ingredients without harsh synthetic preservatives, proper storage is key to ensuring they stay fresh, potent, and effective for their full shelf life. Here are our specific guidelines:

🌿 General Rule for All Products: Store everything in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat and UV rays can degrade active botanical compounds and alter the delicate scent of essential oils. Avoid storing items in humid areas like the shower; instead, use a medicine cabinet or linen closet.

🍵 Herbal Teas & Blends:
Keep tea pouches sealed tightly in their resealable bags, or transfer loose herbs into an airtight glass jar.
Store in a dark cupboard to protect the volatile oils.
Pro Tip: Always use dry hands or a clean spoon to scoop herbs to prevent moisture from introducing bacteria.
Best used within 12 months of opening.

✨ Skincare, Salves & Balms:
Avoid Water Contamination: Since many of our formulas are water-free (anhydrous), they are naturally resistant to bacteria, but only if kept dry. Use clean, dry fingers or a spatula to scoop product out, never introduce water into the jar.
Temperature Sensitivity: In warm weather, solid balms may soften slightly. This is normal!  Simply place the jar in the fridge for 15 minutes to restore its firm texture.
Never leave your salves or balms in a hot car. 
Best used within 12 months. 
Look for any changes in smell (rancid/sour) as a sign it's time to retire the batch.

🧼 Handcrafted Soaps:
To ensure your soap lasts longer, place it on a draining soap dish that allows water to flow away. Soggy soap dissolves faster and loses its structural integrity.
Store unused bars in a breathable container (like paper or mesh) rather than a sealed plastic bin to prevent "soap sweat."
