I'm in My Garden Girl Era—30 Botanical Beauty Buys That Are Ripe for the Picking

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

As soon as I found myself back in the Pacific Northwest after living in New York City for a year, I noticed I've been spending all my extra time in the great outdoors. While I'm notoriously an indoors person (unless there's a beach and a coconut with an umbrella involved), lately I've been rediscovering the side of myself that loves to drift in and out of farmers market booths, repot blooming gardenias, and learn as much as I can about the benefits of certain botanicals. One of the ways I'm incorporated the latter into my everyday routine is by favoring skincare and bodycare powered by the benefits of flora. I've noticed a huge glow-up in my lifestyle, and my vanity is looking pretty cute too.

Below, I'm sharing 30 of my favorite products that have made my wish list and ended up being some of my most highly recommended beauty finds. Keep scrolling to see which ones keep catching my eye and make me want to lean into my inner Ina Garten and Meghan Markle.

Beauty of Joseon

Green Plum Refreshing Toner

This gentle toner by Beauty of Joseon removes your skin's impurities with cooling green plum water, texture-smoothing mung bean extract, and a blend of AHA and BHA that offers gentle exfoliation without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.

My nails have been breaking after getting too many gel manicures, so I've only been using acetone-free nail polish removers. This one by Tenoverten combines rose hip extract, aloe, and vitamin E to soothe the nails and skin while sweeping away polish.

The Dieux's reusable silicone eye patches hold serums and creams close to the skin, allowing products to fully sink in and deliver hydration to the eye area. They're also suitable for all skin types and very helpful for catching makeup fallout.

Osea

Undaria Algae Body Butter

I'm obsessed with using rich body butters after hopping out of the shower, so this one has become a new favorite. Powered by nourishing ingredients like undaria seaweed, shea butter, and ceramides, it replenishes moisture and absorbs quickly.

Oak Essentials

Microbiome Balancing Deodorant

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed my old deodorant stopped working as well as I wanted it to after my workout sessions, so I began using this one by Oak Essentials. It keeps my underarms fresh while also supporting my skin's microbiome with noni fruit cells.

Nécessaire

The Lip Balm

My lips have been feeling extra parched with all the summer travel I've been doing, but this lip balm helps revive them in seconds. It's formulated with a combination of essential ceramides, niacinamide, and rich shea butter, plus a dash of pure mint oil.

Jo Malone London

Blackberry & Bay Soap

I gravitate toward scents that feature juicy blackberry as their starring note, and Jo Malone's Blackberry & Bay makes the perfect year-round fragrance. This luxe bar soap cleanses and conditions the skin, leaving it delicately scented.

Salt & Stone

Bergamot & Hinoki Refillable Body Wash

This Salt & Stone bodywash has been a nonnegotiable in my "everything shower" routine for months. Infused with ocean botanicals, niacinamide, and probiotics to soften the skin, it also has a soothing bergamot and hinoki scent that awakens the senses.

L'Occitane

Lavender Foaming Bath

After I picked lavender while visiting one of Washington's many islands last month, I fell back in love with its many benefits. This foaming bath has been at the top of my list since it leaves my skin supple, clean, and fresh all day.

Flamingo Estate

Garden Essentials Noir Earth Bar Soap

As soon as I started refreshing my beauty cabinet with botanical formulas, I got my hands on this Flamingo Estate bar soap. It uses a blend of essential oils folded in a base of charcoal, babassu, and olive oil.

Gisou

Honey Infused Hair Oil

Infused with Mirsalehi honey from the brand's bee garden, Gisou's best-selling hair oil deeply hydrates strands of all types and textures, boosts shine, and smooths away frizz for a salon-fresh finish.

Aesop

Geranium Leaf Body Scrub

Aesop's gel-based body scrub combines pumice and bamboo stem for an exfoliating formula that sloughs off dead surface cells while botanical oils purify and calm skin. I use this twice weekly as the finishing touch of my shower routine.

Fresh

Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream

Fresh's brightening, smoothing, and antioxidant-rich eye cream uses radiance-boosting Super Lotus, horse chestnut flower extract, and vitamin E to awaken tired-looking eyes and defend the skin from signs of aging.

Farmacy

Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer

Another honey-powered beauty must-have I'm stocking up on is this ultra-hydrating moisturizer. Its formula features hydrating buckwheat honey, moisturizing fig fruit extract, and a ceramide blend for glowy, supple skin that lasts.

Nest New York

Grapefruit Candle

I love snacking on fresh grapefruit over the summer to combat the hot days, so why wouldn't I want a candle that smells exactly like it? This one combines bright pink pomelo grapefruit, watery green notes, and lily of the valley for the same vibe.

Caudalie

Moisturizing Fig Body Oil Elixir

Fig has become another one of my top ingredients to look for in bodycare, and the Moisturizing Fig Body Oil Elixir is at the top of my list. It seals in moisture with a lightweight, antioxidant-rich formula and prickly pear, grape-seed, and argan oils.

Act+Acre

Cold Pressed Stem Cell Scalp Serum

Did you know that apple stem cells can boost the growth of your hair? The Cold Pressed Stem Cell Scalp Serum uses the ingredient (in addition to hyaluronic acid and more) to support hair follicle health and increase scalp hydration.

Henry Rose

Boys of Summer Body Spray

This body spray has been going everywhere with me this summer. It's fresh and clean with notes of lavender, sparkling pink pepper, and crisp florals set against a rich base of Haitian vetiver, orris concrete, and patchouli heart.

Ogee

Luminous Botanical Face Mist

When my skin is looking a little dull and lifeless, I reach for the Luminous Botanical Face Mist by Ogee. It's a moisture-boosting essence that uses a blend of rose extract, chamomile extract, naturally derived witch hazel, and sugar beet.

Maison Margiela

Replica From the Garden Diffuser

If you want to feel like you've taken a trip to the farmers market without ever leaving your home, you'll want to snag this diffuser. It has refreshing and grounding notes of tomato-leaf accord juicy green mandarin essence, and more.

Susanne Kaufmann

Mallow Blossom Bath

Lately, I've been taking more baths since my evenings have slowed down, and this has made every one feel beyond relaxing with lavender extract, rosemary and sage oil, vitamin E, cedarwood oil, and hydrating mallow extract.

Chantecaille

Rice and Geranium Foaming Cleanser

This gentle foaming cleanser by Chantecaille sweeps away makeup and impurities of the skin using a formula powered by rice bran, geranium, soybean, green tea, and olive. It also protects against free radical damage.

The Maker

Spiritus Candle

Earthy and elegant, this candle's fragrance is perfect for the cozy summer nights I'm planning to spend with my loved ones. It burns for up to 50 hours and fills the room with notes of warm papyrus, sweet violet, and soothing eucalyptus.

Once I'm officially in my new home come fall, you can bet each bathroom will be stocked with Loewe's Ivy Liquid Soap. It perfectly captures the woody, fresh, and verdant aroma of the plant using a formula with jojoba oil and aloe vera.

Maison Louis Marie

No. 12 Bousval Perfume Oil

It took me a while to get here, but I can finally say I'm in the throes of my perfume-oil era. No. 12 Bousval is my go-to since it fuses three of my favorite notes for the perfect crisp, woody scent: Italian bergamot, white ginger, and oakmoss.

La Bonne Brosse

Large No.01 The Universal Petite Brush

Okay, I'll admit it—there's nothing "classically" botanical about this small hairbrush besides its stunning color. It keeps strands of all hair types shiny, smooth, and easy to style. In other words, it's the perfect tool to take on the go.

Sisley-Paris

Velvet Sleeping Mask With Saffron Flowers

Sisley-Paris's luxurious sleeping mask lives rent-free in my mind because it restores skin overnight and protects it from damage with a cocktail of plant-based ingredients, including kokum butter, macadamia seeds, and saffron flower.

Le Labo

Lys 41 Eau de Parfum

I'm a fan of white florals, and this is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. Lys 41 is warm and sunny with enchanting jasmine, tuberose absolute, and lily. It definitely helps that I get endless compliments when I wear it.

Diptyque

L'Eau Hespérides Eau de Toilette

I was recently introduced to Diptyque's L'Eau Hespérides Eau de Toilette, but I can't stop recommending it to anyone in search of a juicy, citrus-leaning scent. It evokes the magic of an Italian summer with notes of bitter orange, lemon, and peppermint.

D.S. & Durga

Coriander Eau de Parfum

This was my first coriander perfume, and it's perfect for days when I'm in the mood for a spicy scent. Coriander is a cool note (both literally and figuratively), especially when paired with geranium, juniper, and clove.
