New Botanicals

Soft, lived-in greens grounded by dried-flower warmth.

About the New Botanicals palette

New Botanicals updates the natural palette for 2026 — not the saturated greens of past eco branding, but muted sages, mosses, and ferns softened by dried-petal and flax tones. The result feels organic and contemporary, evoking pressed flowers, herbal apothecaries, and slow, considered living.

Where to use New Botanicals

Built for wellness, sustainable goods, skincare, and garden or food brands. Use Sage and Pale Flax as airy backgrounds, Fern for grounding type, and Dried Petal as a warm accent that keeps the greens from feeling cold.
