I'm in my Garden Girl Era—30 Botanical Beauty Picks That Are Ready for You to Grab

      (Image credit: Courtesy of Maya Thomas) Most Wanted is a weekly series where one editor, staff member, or influencer shares their top 30 essential items or current wish-list products. Upon returning to the Pacific Northwest after a year in New York City, I've found myself dedicating most of my free time to the outdoors. While I've always been more of an indoors person (unless there’s a beach involved), I’ve recently reawakened the part of me that enjoys browsing farmers' market booths, repotting blooming gardenias, and learning about the advantages of different botanicals. I've integrated this into my daily routine by choosing skincare and body care products infused with the benefits of plants. I've noticed a significant improvement in my lifestyle, and my vanity also looks quite appealing. Below, I’m sharing 30 of my favorite products that ended up on my wish list and have become some of my top beauty recommendations. Keep reading to see which items catch my attention and inspire me to embrace my inner Ina Garten and Meghan Markle.

      Beauty of Joseon

      Green Plum Refreshing Toner

      This gentle toner from Beauty of Joseon utilizes cooling green plum water, texture-smoothing mung bean extract, and a mix of AHA and BHA for gentle exfoliation without compromising the skin's moisture barrier.

      My nails have been breaking after too many gel manicures, so I've switched to using acetone-free nail polish removers. This one from Tenoverten combines rose hip extract, aloe, and vitamin E to soothe both nails and skin while effectively removing polish.

      The reusable silicone eye patches from Dieux securely hold serums and creams against the skin, allowing products to penetrate completely and hydrate the eye area. They are ideal for all skin types and excellent for catching makeup fallout.

      Osea

      Undaria Algae Body Butter

      I’ve become obsessed with rich body butters after showering, and this one has quickly become a favorite. With nourishing ingredients like undaria seaweed, shea butter, and ceramides, it replenishes moisture and absorbs rapidly.

      Oak Essentials

      Microbiome Balancing Deodorant

      A few weeks ago, I realized my old deodorant wasn’t as effective after workouts, so I switched to this one from Oak Essentials. It keeps my underarms fresh while supporting my skin’s microbiome with noni fruit cells.

      My lips have felt especially dry from summer traveling, but this lip balm revitalizes them in moments. It contains a blend of essential ceramides, niacinamide, and rich shea butter, along with a hint of pure mint oil.

      Jo Malone London

      Blackberry & Bay Soap

      I am drawn to scents that highlight juicy blackberry, and Jo Malone’s Blackberry & Bay is an ideal fragrance for all year round. This luxurious bar soap cleanses and conditions the skin, leaving a delicate scent behind.

      Salt & Stone

      Bergamot & Hinoki Refillable Body Wash

      This body wash from Salt & Stone has become a cornerstone of my "everything shower" routine for months now. Enriched with ocean botanicals, niacinamide, and probiotics to soften the skin, it also has a calming bergamot and hinoki scent that invigorates the senses.

      L'Occitane

      Lavender Foaming Bath

      After picking lavender on one of Washington's islands last month, I rediscovered its numerous benefits. This foaming bath has been a staple for me, keeping my skin supple, clean, and fresh throughout the day.

      Flamingo Estate

      Garden Essentials Noir Earth Bar Soap

      As I refreshed my beauty cabinet with botanical formulas, I got this bar soap from Flamingo Estate. It features a blend of essential oils in a base of charcoal, babassu, and olive oil.

      Gisou

      Honey Infused Hair Oil

      This best-selling hair oil from Gisou is made with Mirsalehi honey from the brand’s bee garden, deeply hydrating all hair types and textures, enhancing shine, and taming frizz for a salon-like finish.

      Aesop

      Geranium Leaf Body Scrub

      Aesop's gel-based body scrub combines pumice and bamboo stem for an exfoliating treatment that removes dead surface cells while botanical oils purify and calm the skin. I use this twice weekly as the final step in my shower routine.

      Fresh

      Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream

      Fresh’s brightening, smoothing, and antioxidant-packed eye cream contains radiance-enhancing Super Lotus, horse chestnut flower extract, and vitamin E to rejuvenate tired eyes and protect the skin from aging signs.

      Farmacy

      Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer

      This honey-infused moisturizer is another beauty essential I’m stocking up on. Its formula features hydrating buckwheat honey, moisturizing fig fruit extract, and a blend of ceramides for glowing, supple skin that lasts.

      Nest New York

      Grapefruit Candle

      I love snacking on fresh grapefruit during the summer to
