Mother glows best
Shine your light, my love. (S.Y.L.L.) It’s the mantra we hold for ourselves, our children and everyone around us. Because shining our own lights gives others permission to do the same.
A BRAND IS BORN
I was pregnant, itchy, red-faced, and uncomfortable. And when I searched for solutions, the sheer number of products was enough to blow a mama’s mind. Ineffective natural options. Irritating essential oils. Formulas that are too harsh. Routines that are too complex and change day and night. Products that are either too specific (like, just for the belly), or contain ingredients that aren’t suitable for pregnancy, breastfeeding or sensitive skin.
Fast forward to life as a mom with young kids: I still want an easy routine with products that are responsibly made and actually work. And if you’re like me, you’re also looking for something simple yet effective when it comes to personal care.
Syll Botanics® is my labor of love: safe, performance-driven, sustainable skincare that does more with less. Less waste, less complexity, less products cluttering your countertop. More benefits, more manageable routines, and a more beautiful experience.
At Syll, we aren't interested in launching products just to get you to buy more. We are focused on making outstanding skincare that works as hard as you do. Syll is the motherlode for minimalists.

THE STORIES BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS
THE FACE & EYE ONE
When I was pregnant, I had new skin needs and a very demanding job. So I set out to formulate ONE safe but "active" facial product to use during the day -- before SPF and hustling out the door -- and at night after cleansing, without needing an additional moisturizer afterward. Now, as a busy entrepreneur and mom with young kids, I love knowing that if I use just this one thing, I'm doing something great for my skin.

THE BODY & HAIR ONE
This was my go-to saving grace for stretched, super tight-feeling skin while I was pregnant, and mega dry, itchy skin postpartum. I formulated this to go beyond the typical body oil to ensure it really worked, and was appropriate for pregnancy and use around infants. I still look forward to applying it right after I shower. With regular use of this ONE product, my stubborn rough patches and ashy skin are gone, and my dry hair ends feel soft and healthy.
