Tested by the Elements

​Growing by the lakes & woods of Southwest Michigan, we loved the outdoors, hunting, hiking, fishing and camping. We learned firsthand how unyielding nature can be. Dealing with tick bites, mosquitos, gnats, fleas, poison ivy & oak, irritating grasses, weeds etc. I struggled with Lyme disease, my son struggled with painful eczema and chronic skin inflammation, and my mother faced skin cancer.

​Forced to look for answers, I found a market flooded with synthetic additives, hidden fillers, and low standards. I knew we deserved better.

​Botanical Fortress was built out of necessity. We harnessed the power of nature's own elements to create uncompromising, maximum-purity barriers. We formulate strictly clean, biochemically sound products using 100% organic essential oils with rejuvenating bases, designed to defend your body against the elements and whatever nature throws at you—because protection shouldn't require compromising your health.
