Local residents in the Phoenix Valley can now purchase all-natural skincare and body care products from Aluma Botanics. The company offers handcrafted soaps, fragrances, and skincare items for holiday shopping.

The brand was founded by Laura, who previously spent more than 20 years working in forensic science and microbiology. She applied her scientific background to the development of clean, botanical-based beauty products.

The idea for the business originated from a question posed by Laura’s son. He asked, “Mom, can we make soaps for homeless people?” This inquiry started a creative experiment that evolved into a full product line.

Laura developed the brand during 2020. She combined her scientific training with an intuitive approach to nature. Her goal was to create simple, effective formulas for everyday use.

Aluma Botanics provides interactive beauty bar experiences for events and celebrations in addition to its retail products. The company is supported by Laura’s family at every step of the process.

Customers can reach the company by phone at 602 405 2194 or visit www.alumabotanics.com. Aluma Botanics also maintains social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook.
