Monarch Botanika

Monarch Botanika, with its Milkweed-to-Market mission, plays a vital role in safeguarding the monarch butterfly population. By purchasing products from this company, consumers directly contribute to the preservation of monarch habitats. As more milkweed is planted for the production of Milkweed Seed Oil and other materials, additional breeding grounds become available for monarchs. This initiative not only nurtures the skin with sustainably sourced ingredients but also supports Monarch butterfly conservation efforts. With 5% of sales dedicated to supporting conservation through Native Monarchs, a partnering non-profit actively planting monarch and pollinator habitats in Southern California, every purchase becomes a step towards a brighter future for these majestic butterflies. By embracing Monarch Botanika's products, individuals can actively participate in creating a more sustainable ecosystem for monarchs and other pollinators.

At HOME

There’s a lot you can do on your own to contribute to the effort to save Monarch butterflies and establish crucial habitat along migratory routes.

In addition to developing Monarch habitat in your own backyard, (on your apartment balcony, the vacant lot on your block etc.), you can become a milkweed seed collector.

Collecting and storing local varieties of milkweed seed and other native plants is easier than you’d think. And though nectar plants (native and otherwise) can be an important source of food, milkweed is critical to Monarch conservation because it is the ONLY plant that Monarchs will lay their eggs on.

Residential Habitats

Commercial

Commercial land owners like golf courses, vineyards, schools and businesses who have land that can be utilized for drought tolerant, native flora and intentionally planting pollinator habitats can make a huge contribution to helping our mission.
