Eco-Conscious New Skincare Line Monarch Botanika Committed To Helping Protect The Monarch Butterfly

 

I love supporting brands with a good cause.  Monarch Botanika is one of these brands.  They are skincare brand with a purpose. At a time when the future of the monarch butterfly is uncertain, Monarch Botanika is truly making a difference as a sustainable, environmentally conscious company serving a greater cause. 

 

As you may well know, the monarch butterfly population is rapidly declining and this situation isn't limited to monarchs- it's a warning for all pollinators that share these fragile habitats. Purchasing Monarch Botanika products is one of the most effective ways to help fund critical habitat creation and protection immediately since every sale supports projects that give monarchs and other pollinators a fighting chance. Together, we can restore what's been lost—before it's too late. 

By the way, their products are wonderful. I was sent their skin cleanser and skin moisturizer and they are so gentle and effective. They leave my skin feeling clean, refreshed and moisturized.

Monarch Botanika Is Standing Up For Protecting The Monarch Butterfly

Monarch Butterfly Proposed to be listed as “Threatened” under the Endangered Species Act

 

VENTURA, CA (FEBRUARY 2025) – Climate Change, habitat loss, exposure to pesticides, and other threats have put the iconic monarch butterfly in jeopardy of becoming endangered with populations declining by over 80% in some areas. Currently, no legal protections are in place to protect this species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services’ recent proposal for the monarch butterfly to be listed as “threatened” under the ESA has the potential to save the species by acknowledging that the future of monarchs are at risk. 

 

Monarch Botanika is asking for all to help shape the final decision and support the conservation of this species by submitting comments (at this link https://monarchjointventure.org/get-involved) during the 90-day public comment period from December 12, 2024, to March 12, 2025. If the proposal to list monarchs as a “threatened” species gets approved, it would secure federally supported projects to safeguard the species and guarantee the creation and protection of habitats necessary for breeding, overwintering, and migration.

 

Monarch Botanika: Skincare with Purpose, Supporting Monarch Butterfly Conservation.                          

Monarch Botanika is merging the worlds of beauty and conservation while pioneering a new line of products that uses Milkweed Seed Oil—an ingredient derived from the exclusive host plant of the monarch butterfly—to create skin-nourishing products while contributing to the restoration and protection of critical monarch habitats. 

 

After learning about the devastating decline of Monarch populations, founder Chris Amendt became determined to take action. Planting her first pollinator habitat in Ventura County, Chris witnessed how healing these spaces were for the Monarchpopulation. Inspired by what she saw, she launched Native Monarchs, a nonprofit dedicated to habitat restoration and protection. Chris explains, “My interest in pollinator habitats led me to discover that even old milkweed seeds, from the monarch’s essential host plant, could be cold-pressed into a nourishing beauty oil.” This vision became MonarchBotanika, a skincare brand with a purpose.
