Mind Mined Ventures, LLC is proud to introduce its latest endeavor, Violet Botanicals, your source for handcrafted salves, balms and serums to nurture your body, as our motto goes, with nature.



With all natural products, value is defined as much by what they do not contain as by what they do. Take comfort that Violet Botanicals uses no parabens, phthalates, petroleum jelly (petrolatum), mineral oil, artificial fragrances, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors or dyes, sulfates (such as SLS or SLES), silicones, PEGs (polyethylene glycols), formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, triclosan, harsh chemicals, alcohol, synthetic fillers, GMOs, talc, soy, palm oil, nanoparticles, artificial emulsifiers, artificial stabilizers, artificial flavorings, hormones, steroids, or antibiotics.

We also don't test on animals, because we like them almost as much as we like plants.
