Nation Botanics
Nation Botanics is the first skincare company to provide full ingredient traceability while prioritizing the use of plants native to North America (98%) and sourcing from local farmers here (92%).
Mercedes Pepper, Founder and Formulator at Nation Botanics, is dedicated to helping outdoorsy people achieve healthy skin without the fuss. When her skin had mood swings in the ocean and on the slopes, she couldn't bear the thought of using a multi-step face routine or different products for different climates. She longed for an easy, multi-targeting solution - one that could meet all of her needs whether at the beach or in the snow. She couldn't find this sort of product though, or what she envisioned for how a skincare company could do good. So, Nation Botanics was born!
Our Surf & Slope Revitalizing Serum and Nourishing Moisturizer is the only adaptable skincare duo for surfers, skiers, and snowboarders, no matter the weather. Designed with the highest quality, effective plant ingredients, it replaces over eight facial products, simplifying your routine. The duo system allows for a filler-free formula without a fixed ratio, meaning Surf+Slope contains only pure nutrients, and you can customize each application to meet daily needs. In hotter climates, add more serum to replenish and revive. In cooler ones, add more moisturizer to nourish and soothe.
Nation Botanics supports small businesses, including 26 North American suppliers, and use truly sustainable ingredients, packaging, manufacturing, and labor practices. We also give four times the industry standard to social causes. Impact partners include SeaTrees by Sustainable Surf—who restore coastal dunes and offset carbon emissions—and the Chill Foundation, which makes board sports more accessible for youth. With each purchase, you can give back and help rethink skincare as a force for good!
