Slow Beauty
created with
nutrient rich botanicals.

Dear Botanics was born at the foot of the Catskill Mountains by native New Yorker Stephanie Pappas. Since moving to the Catskills, she has been learning to co create with the land and listen to the whispers of her ancestors. Of Greek lineage, her grandmother passed down traditions that taught her the gifts of the earth and how to use them intuitively. Each creation is crafted with intention, blending these ancestral practices with sourced ingredients from around the world.

Stephanie attended Arbor Vitae a School for Traditional Herbalism, and the New York Institute of Aromatherapy. This marked an evolution from intuitive, folk-based methods to a more comprehensive approach grounded in both tradition and science.

Each formulation is created to support the skin’s natural intelligence. Thoughtfully selected botanicals—oils, extracts, slow whole plant infusions, and plant waters—are crafted through a small-scale process to promote balance, hydration, and resilience.

An invitation to slow down, transforming daily care into a ritual of restoration.
