a modern formulary with an old soul
Founded in a 17th-century Dutch stone house in Kingston, New York, Society Botanica merges skilled formulation with the texture of history — herbariums, manuscripts, and botanicals gathered with care. Each product is composed in-house, where precision meets curiosity, and design lives in the details that turn fragrance and formula into works that carry atmosphere and hint at worlds beyond.

The Science & Spirit Behind the Formulary
From its first ingredient to its final phase, each formula is composed with precision and care. Sourcing, human health, and life after the bottle are extensively researched and documented to ensure a kind footprint. Every decision is deliberate, refined again and again, so each formula holds to the highest standard.

Founder Asa Seeburger
A third-generation gardener and plantswoman with a dual education in History and Biology, Asa’s path has led from the historic gardens of Boston to the misted shores of Seattle, through New York and San Francisco. After sixteen years in brand marketing, she turned toward advanced study in cosmetic formulation and perfumery — disciplines where precise sciences meet imagination.
Drawing from heritage ornament and the unruly companionship of her cottage garden — where beauty is complex, shifting, and revealed only with time — her lifelong relationship with plants shapes each creation. The result is body care that feels both grounded and otherworldly — works that carry atmosphere, foster kinship, and invite belonging.
