Sheryl Lynn Gibbs, founder of Sevani Botanica, has submitted one of the most refreshing “natural beauty buff” features I’ve put together in a while.

Because it’s easy to get wrapped up in product overload, reading a simple, to-the-point submission that focuses on skincare from the inside out reminds me to 1) hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and 2) eat well and take my vitamins.
Like most natural beauty company founders, Sheryl Lynn was inspired to create her own skincare line to serve the needs of her own sensitive skin.
A student of Ayurveda, aromatherapy and herbal medicine, Sheryl Lynn took her knowledge and applied it to what we know as Sevani Botanica, a beautiful, old world-inspired line of artfully crafted skincare products that is cruelty-free, vegan and champion-status with the Environmental Working Group.
A few of my favorites from her line include C + Resveratrol Anti-Aging Elixir and Serum Vitale Essential Nutrient Oil (review coming soon!).
I hope Sheryl’s profile inspires you to pare down your products to the ones you truly love, and I hope you too remember to take care of yourself from the inside out — because if your insides aren’t clean, your outsides will show it.
(OK, I will say, I am curious what mascara Sheryl uses — look at her gorgeous eyes!)
As usual, I’ve starred the products that I also use and love.

Sevani Botanica Ageless Eyes Revitalizing Eye Serum
“I never leave home with out one of my oil-based serums, and this time of year the Ageless Eyes Revitalizing Eye Serum is my ‘must have’ as it is small and portable. It contains a synergistic blend of therapeutic essential oils including helichrysum, geranium, frankincense and neroli in a potent, antioxidant-infused base. These ingredients are highly beneficial not just for the delicate skin of the eye area but also for the thin fragile skin of the lips.”
Sevani Botanica Ageless Radiance Refining AHA Cleanser and Sevani Botanica Rapid Renewal Resurfacing Crème
“When I have the luxury of a more spacious bag, I will also travel with my Ageless Radiance Refining AHA Cleanser and Rapid Renewal Resurfacing Crème.”
“A must-have staple that I am fortunate enough to purchase in any town if and when I travel is my 100 percent organic lemon juice. Lemons are an all-natural beauty treatment that you can drink — potent in vitamins and nutrients to strengthen the immune system and promote a healthy glow through detoxification. I add it to warm water every am and even on salads regularly.”
“I also make licorice root elixirs to help support my adrenal glands and minimize stress. Licorice root is not recommended for those with high blood pressure, but as mine generally runs low, it supports my hectic days.”
“I’m a big fan of Pomegranate and Acai Berry powders in my smoothies as I utilize these ingredients throughout my product line due to their organically available vitamin C content. I also drink a variety of Green and Rooibos Tea for their antioxidant properties.”
