Hi, I'm Dalia, founder of Dalia Botanique, a natural skincare brand born from a deep love of the British countryside and the incredible botanicals growing right on our doorstep.
My journey started with a personal wake-up call. As someone who spends a huge amount of time outdoors trail running, cycling, hiking, and gardening in all weathers, I quickly learned to really listen to my skin and understand what it actually needs.
In 2020, I completed a Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation, and I've never looked back. At the same time, I discovered that the humble cottage garden flowers and vegetables I was growing had extraordinary, evidence-backed benefits for the skin, and I became a little obsessed (in the best possible way!).
Dalia Botanique is a skincare brand inspired by British wildflowers and botanicals, built on the motto From Garden to Bottle.
Teaching these workshops is honestly one of my favourite things. I love seeing that "aha!" moment when someone realises that the plants growing in their garden or local meadow are genuinely powerful skincare ingredients.
My sessions are hands-on, relaxed, and I want you to learn how different ingredients feel and smell and how to layer them to make a perfect skincare product. You won't just be putting some random oils in a bottle; you will be using British-grown and produced oils like Borage, Evening Primrose and even Yorkshire Rhubarb and learning how they effect different skin types.
You will leave with a beautiful bespoke product you have made yourself, plus the confidence and know-how to keep going at home.
