Dark BOTARI Hand Cream Discovery Set box with rose, water-ripple and citrus photos, tied with an orange elastic band

BOTARI, a new hand care brand, has launched in the UK with its Hand Cream Discovery Set, priced at £28.00. Full-size creams follow on 25 October 2026. The set contains three 20ml minis, and each formula targets a different skin need. According to BOTARI, the creams are inspired by Korean skincare and combine botanical ingredients with biotech actives and distinctive fragrances.

Meet the Founder

BOTARI was founded by Korean-born British designer Molly Park. She was previously Chief Creative & Product Officer at Papier and Head of Design, Home & Gift at Oliver Bonas. The brand's collection covers both skincare and accessories. The 20ml minis are compatible with BOTARI's Hand Cream Charm (RRP £12).

The Products: Three Formulas, Three Skin Needs

All three creams share a lightweight gel-cream texture, which BOTARI says absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish. The brand describes the range as "three formulas, not three fragrances": each cream is built around a different skin need.

  • Noni Renew (Rose Ember): This is the smoothing option. It pairs a Noni Cell Culture Complex with Samphira Bioactive, a plant-derived retinol alternative. According to BOTARI, it helps smooth the look of rough, dull skin. Panthenol, rice bran oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E are included for softness and hydration. The scent combines incense, sandalwood, smoked woods and a subtle rose.
  • Cica Protect (Yuja Citrus): This formula is aimed at dry hands that get washed often. The brand says centella and panthenol help support the moisture barrier. It also contains HelioPure Skin, a microalgae antioxidant complex that BOTARI says helps defend against environmental stress. Glucosylrutin, jojoba oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E complete the formula. The scent is bright yuja with green, herbal notes and white musk.
  • Charcoal Reset (Verdant Forest): This is the "reset" formula. According to BOTARI, activated bamboo charcoal helps draw out daily build-up without stripping the skin. The brand also says the prebiotic alpha-glucan oligosaccharide supports a balanced skin microbiome. Shea butter, rice bran oil, panthenol and vitamin E are included to help lock in moisture. The scent is woody, green and mineral.

How to Use Them

BOTARI recommends massaging a pea-sized amount into clean, dry hands and cuticles. It suggests choosing a formula based on how your hands feel that day:

  • Cica Protect for dry hands that get washed often.
  • Charcoal Reset for clearing impurities and daily build-up.
  • Noni Renew for rough, dull-looking hands.

The brand says the 20ml tubes are sized for a bag, desk drawer or travel case. It advises stopping use if irritation occurs.

Release Date and Prices

The Discovery Set is available now in the UK for £28.00. According to BOTARI, it lets shoppers try every formula before choosing a full-size tube. The full-size collection follows on 25 October 2026, with each 70ml cream priced at £26.00.

What the Brand Says

According to BOTARI's launch announcement, hand care is an often-overlooked area of the beauty industry, typically served by basic formulas. The brand says its range was developed for specific skin needs, including barrier support, hydration, renewal and protection. It says the formulas use purposeful ingredients with attention to both texture and fragrance.
