What is botanical self-care and how is it different from natural self-care?+–
Botanical self-care uses whole plant medicine, complete herbs, roots, and flowers, formulated by trained herbalists who understand how plants work synergistically with your body's natural healing processes. Unlike "natural" self-care that often uses isolated plant compounds or synthetic derivatives, true botanical self-care preserves the full plant matrix with all co-factors and healing compounds intact, just as nature intended.
What is the benefit of having self-care created by expert herbalists?+–
Professional herbalists bring specialized knowledge of which plants work for different skin conditions, proper therapeutic dosages, safe botanical combinations, and traditional preparation methods proven effective over centuries. As an expert traditional herbalist with over 25 years of botanical healing experience, I can formulate therapeutic-grade botanical self-care products based on documented plant safety records.
What makes your brand Celtic or Irish-inspired?+–
Our brand is deeply rooted in Irish heritage. As a multi-generational family of musicians and artists, we honor our Irish and Celtic tradition through our products, music, and craftsmanship. From scent names like “Saint Patrick” to ingredients inspired by folk remedies, many things we create reflects a love for Ireland’s natural beauty, cultural legacy, and timeless rituals.
Is The Royal Kellys affiliated with a monarchy?+–
"The Royal Kellys" is an independently owned brand and is not affiliated with any legally recognized monarchy, government, or royal entity. Kelly is our family name. "The Royal Kellys" name reflects our belief as Christians that every person from the most vulnerable child to the powerful and wealthy is made in the image of God. You are royal, and you should be treated like royalty.
What makes your brand different from other natural self-care brands?+–
We are not an impersonal corporation, but a family business. Every product is formulated by our traditional herbalist with 25+ years of botanical healing experience. We don't hide behind "naturally-derived ingredients" labels, which are often synthetic products in disguise. Our products are truly natural. We preserve the full plant matrix - the co-factors and synergistic compounds that make botanicals truly safe and effective. Learn more in our story: https://theroyalkellys.com/our-story
