Beverlee Felkner is a true innovator in the health and beauty space. She is the proud founder of Beverlee Botanicals, which is a holistic self-care brand promoting inner peace & outer beauty. She offers wellness services and botanical products for your hair, skin and home.
After living in New York City and studying around the world, Beverlee is now back in Bucks County. She feels now is the time to give back to her home community, since holistic healing has never been more important.
Beverlee received years of education in world class cities like New York and London, and her travels and intellectual curiosity inspired her to thoroughly study the European beauty market.
She noticed that European ingredients were of the purest origins, and that most of the luxury beauty products she used were similarly rich in industrial chemicals. She then took a course in Italy to learn more about the business of organic skincare, and it was there on the Amalfi Coast where the idea of Beverlee Botanicals was born.
After working behind the chair for years as a hairstylist and colorist, Beverlee became a certified technician for almost all of the Keratin brands on the US market. Upon moving to New York City, the keratin game changed dramatically. There were specific rooms designated for keratin treatments. Windows were open, air purifiers were blasting, and the client and technician both had to wear gas masks. This put things into perspective for Beverlee.
Several reports issued to the FDA conclude that keratin treatments irritate the eyes, nose, & throat, cause coughing, wheezing and trigger a severe allergic reactions of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Some people have also reported that treatments cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, chest pains, vomiting and rashes.
Even if the formula is “formaldehyde free”, there is a chemical reaction that occurs when heat is exposed to the product. The gas released when flat ironing the hair can expose people to formaldehyde in the air. As Beverlee thought about this, she said, “There has to be a natural alternative."
After returning back to Manhattan, she spent years formulating & perfecting her flagship product Boujee Butter in her kitchen. Reaching the finalized formulation, she then converted her keratin treatment clients to her Boujee Butter Botox treatment.
Boujee Butter is 100 percent plant derived and vegan. It is made up of organic plant butters and oils which are rich in fatty acids, biotin, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These play a huge role in the health of your hair.
This is just a glimpse of the knowledge Beverlee has on this global concern.

**According to EcoWatch: At the start of 2011 at least 33 Keratin Smoothing treatments have been recalled in several countries due to their high levels of formaldehyde, however, the US has yet to pull the toxic products according to the new research from the national nonprofit Women’s voices for the Earth (WVE).
