Review: PLANTED Bioavailable Skincare – Pure Nourishment from Nature*

Monday, 25 August 2025

Lately, I’ve been on a mission to simplify my skincare routine, keeping it as natural and nourishing as possible. I was kindly gifted two products by PLANTED Bioavailable Skincare, an English brand that puts nature at the heart of beauty.





The Story Behind PLANTED

PLANTED was founded by Melissa Chartan, who struggled for years with very dry, sensitive skin prone to eczema and psoriasis. After finding little relief from commercial products or steroid creams, she discovered the power of pure plant oils — starting with something as simple as olive oil. This sparked a lifelong passion for researching natural ingredients and blending her own formulas.

As a makeup artist and beauty consultant, Melissa saw first-hand how misleading and toxic much of the beauty industry can be. Determined to create something honest, effective, and truly natural, she began crafting her own products in her kitchen. By 2017, after years of refining her blends, PLANTED was officially born. Today, the brand has grown from those early kitchen experiments into a dedicated studio, but it still stays true to its roots: skincare created with integrity, plants, and love.

Virgin Shea and Coco Whipped Body Butter

This body butter is an absolute treat for the skin. The texture is luxuriously whipped – soft, fluffy, and effortlessly melts when massaged in. The combination of shea and coconut feels deeply hydrating without being greasy, leaving my skin silky smooth and glowing. I love how a little goes a long way, and the natural scent is both comforting and uplifting. It’s especially wonderful after a shower, locking in moisture and giving skin that healthy, supple feel.






Nutrient Rich Face Cream

If you’re after a face cream that feels both lightweight and intensely nourishing, this is it. The cream glides on beautifully and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling fresh, balanced, and hydrated all day long. It’s rich in natural nutrients that support healthy skin without any heaviness. I’ve noticed my complexion looks brighter and feels much more cared for – almost like it’s had a drink of pure nourishment from nature. But I absolutely love that soft feeling this beautiful cream leave on my skin after a littel while. pure bliss.





Why I Love PLANTED

Beyond the lovely textures and results, what makes PLANTED stand out is their commitment to creating skincare that feels both pure and purposeful. Melissa’s personal story gives the brand so much heart — and it shows in the integrity of every product.

Final Thoughts:
Although these products were gifted* to me, all thoughts are completely my own. The Virgin Shea and Coco Whipped Body Butter is my go-to for indulgent, all-over hydration, while the Nutrient Rich Face Cream is perfect for daily skin nourishment. Together, they create a simple yet powerful routine that leaves me feeling radiant and confident in my own skin.

🌿 About the Founder

Melissa Chartan created PLANTED after her lifelong struggles with eczema, psoriasis, and chronic dryness. Frustrated by the lack of effective and truly natural skincare, she turned to plant oils and discovered their transformative benefits. Combining her personal experience with her professional background as a makeup artist, Melissa began formulating her own blends — free from toxins, full of nutrients, and kind to sensitive skin. What started in her kitchen in 2017 has since blossomed into PLANTED, a brand dedicated to honest, plant-based skincare that truly works.
