Our Founder - Chris Amendt
Monarch Botanika was born from a desire to help the Monarch butterflies and pollinators struggling due to habitat loss and climate challenges. During the 2020 pandemic, I established a pollinator habitat at my local golf course and saw firsthand the impact it could make. This experience inspired me to launch Native Monarchs, a nonprofit dedicated to habitat restoration and protection. Later, I discovered that even old milkweed seeds, from the monarch's essential host plant, could be cold-pressed into a nourishing beauty oil, sparking the creation of Monarch Botanika. Our skincare line, featuring Milkweed Seed Oil, blends skincare with environmental purpose—every purchase supports monarch conservation.
Our Co-founder - Sangita Dhull
My path to co-founding Monarch Botanika started unexpectedly, thanks to my son and his school project on Monarch butterflies. One day, he looked up at me, wide-eyed, and asked, 'Mom, why are the monarchs disappearing?' His curiosity—and his knack for asking the big questions—hit me right in the heart. That simple moment sparked an idea: what if I could do something that helps protect these amazing creatures and makes a difference? I decided to leave my corporate job behind to be a co-founder of a brand that blends eco-friendly skincare with a real purpose. Now, with Monarch Botanika, we’re working to protect nature and inspire others to cherish it, creating a legacy of beauty and conservation for future generations.
