Our Story
Rooted in Heritage. Inspired by Nature. Made with Purpose.
Aida Botanic was founded by Tsighe Retta, Founder & CEO of Aida LLC, with a simple belief: nature has always given us what we need to care for ourselves.
Our story is deeply rooted in Ethiopian heritage, where plants, herbs, oils, and natural ingredients have been part of everyday life and traditional self-care for generations. Growing up surrounded by these traditions, Tsighe developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of natural ingredients and the importance of caring for ourselves with what the earth provides.
With a background in nursing, Tsighe also developed a strong awareness of what we put on and around our bodies. This experience created a desire to be more mindful of harsh and unnecessary ingredients and to explore a more natural approach to everyday self-care.
What began as a personal passion grew into Aida Botanic, a family-owned brand created with love, purpose, and a connection to our roots.
Made by Us, With Intention
At Aida Botanic, our products are not simply selected and placed into a package. Each product is crafted by us.
From preparing and producing each batch, to pouring, filling, packaging, and carefully applying every label, our hands are involved throughout the process. We take pride in knowing what goes into our products and how they are made.
Every bar, butter, oil, and botanical creation is made with deep passion, care, and confidence. We believe that when you put your heart into what you create, people can feel the difference.
We carefully source unique, nature-inspired ingredients, including treasured Ethiopian herbs and botanicals, and bring them together with thoughtfully selected plant-based ingredients. Our heritage inspires our ingredients, while our commitment to craftsmanship guides how we make every product.
Why Family Matters
Aida Botanic is more than a skincare business — it is a family story.
We believe that what we build today can create opportunities for the next generation. Family is part of our inspiration, our creativity, and our journey. From developing products to preparing orders, sharing our story, and connecting with our community, Aida Botanic continues to grow as something we build together.
We want our journey to show the next generation that an idea rooted in your culture, your experience, and your passion can become something meaningful.
Who We Serve
Aida Botanic is created for people who want to make more intentional choices about their self-care.
We serve women and men who appreciate nature, cultural traditions, thoughtful craftsmanship, and products made with purpose. Whether you are looking for everyday skincare, a moment of self-care, or a meaningful connection to natural and cultural traditions, we want Aida Botanic to become part of your journey.
We also believe in serving beyond our products. We want to support our community, celebrate culture, create opportunities, support other small businesses, and inspire young people to dream, create, and build.
Our Roots Are Our Difference
From Ethiopian-inspired botanicals to the care that goes into every small batch, our heritage is part of who we are.
Aida Botanic is where heritage meets nature, family meets purpose, and tradition inspires something new.
Every product carries a little piece of our story — and when you choose Aida Botanic, you become part of it.
Thank you for growing with us.
