Interview with Barbara McAteer, a Natural Skin Care specialist, Holistic Therapist, Entrepreneur and owner of Josie's Botanicals

Josie's Botanicals is a dream realised, all the things Barbara loves together. She has always felt her best in nature, inspired by the positive effects of plants and their ability to heal. As a holistic therapist, she knows firsthand the healing power of pure and natural ingredients to reduce the effects of stress and pollution on both body and mind. Growing up in a family of 11 children, Barbara's mother Josie had a cure for whatever ailed you; she soothed allergies, breakouts, scars and burns with natural remedies passed down through generations of wise and knowledgeable women. Barbara shares her passion for natural health with her siblings, using their heritage to help people restore their skin health. As a teacher and practitioner of holistic therapies, specialist in natural facials and facial rejuvenation, aromatherapist, reflexologist, massage therapist, and a nutritional therapist; Barbara sees how synthetic chemicals can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones in the body. Over the years, Barbara found it impossible to source products that used 100% pure and natural ingredients to use on sensitive or compromised skin. Eventually drawing on her heritage, she blended the purest organic active ingredients and essential oils to create precise formulations to meet everyday skin concerns. She tested these formulations on friends and family and their symptoms markedly improved. Barbara's inner circle loved the products so much, that they wanted to buy them. Josie's Botanicals is born out of a passion for natural healing with a focus always on integrity; the packaging is recycled or recyclable, and their products are tested on humans, not animals. Sustainable production with 100% plant-based ingredients designed for maximum results—natural skincare you can trust, with results you will love.
