My name is Damary, and Atabey Botanica began during my own breast cancer journey. As I became more intentional about what I put into my body, I also began paying closer attention to what I put on my skin. I wanted skincare made with ingredients I could recognize and understand, so I started making my own.

What began as something personal grew into Atabey Botanica: small-batch, plant-based body care made without synthetic fragrances or preservatives. Along the way, I also learned that caring for my body was about more than what I put on it. The Nourishing Rub Ritual grew from that experience, as a reminder to slow down, be present, and give our bodies the same care and attention we give so much else in our lives.

Atabey is for anyone who wants to understand what they are putting on their skin, make more intentional choices, and turn an everyday act of skincare into a moment of care.

I called it Atabey Botanica, and here is why.
Atabey
ah-tah-BAY  ·  the original mother

Across the world's oldest traditions, there is always a first mother, present long before language and the naming of things. The names may change, but the truth beneath them does not. We carry her name as a reminder to return to what endures: the wisdom of the earth, the intelligence of plants, and a body worthy of care. By stripping away the synthetic and the unnecessary, we make space for what has always been enough.

bo-TAH-nee-kah  ·  of plants  ·  the world of botanical knowledge

Long before laboratories, people kept botanical knowledge in their hands, passed down as recipe and ritual. Plants were not a backup plan, they were the plan, and still are. We are not inventing anything. We are remembering.
