About Us
Welcome to Bella Botanicals! We're a botanical based skincare company located in Onalaska, WI. Leslie, the proud owner and founder, was driven by a deep passion for natural health, sustainable living, and a commitment to providing safe, effective, and eco-friendly products. After 5 years serving customers, Bella Botanicals has become a beacon for those seeking a healthier approach to skincare.
Leslie's Background and Inspiration
After years of working in the healthcare industry, Leslie realized her impact and passion extended far beyond simply taking X-rays. The birth of her second child, Harper, was a turning point, inspiring her to pursue a deeper understanding of natural and holistic approaches to health and beauty. She decided to go back to school and enrolled in Formula Botanica, where she earned her certification in formulating natural and organic skincare.
The Birth of Bella Botanicals
Bella Botanicals was born out of Leslie’s desire to create safer, more natural skincare products. Initially, she had no intention of starting a business. Her journey into entrepreneurship came after the products. Leslie simply wanted to create safe, effective skincare solutions for herself, her family, and her friends. After allowing friends and family to use and test the multiple products she had formulated, the Bella Botanicals skincare line was born. From there, she learned how to be an entrepreneur, and it has been a rewarding journey ever since.
Our Growth
Bella Botanicals launched in November of 2019 as an online e-commerce brand. Thanks to the overwhelming support and positive feedback from customers, the brand was able to expand its reach and impact. In September of 2022, Bella Botanicals proudly opened its first retail location at W5538 County Road S in Onalaska, WI. Read more about it here. This milestone has allowed the company to connect more directly with the community and offer a unique, personalized shopping experience based on education and expertise.
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of Bella Botanicals. The company uses recyclable glass packaging (when possible) to minimize its environmental footprint and ensure that products are as kind to the earth as they are to the skin. Leslie believes that by making thoughtful choices, Bella Botanicals can create a positive impact on the planet and promote a more sustainable future.
