{"title":"Betsara","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetsara is a ravintsara specialist that grows, harvests and distills a single plant on its own plantation in Madagascar. From an organic ravintsara hydrosol to dried leaves for infusion and an alcohol-free mouthwash, each of these products starts with ravintsara from the same plantation, and Paris Pharmacy ships them to the US straight from Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBetsara: One Plant, from Leaf to Bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetsara was created in France in April 2015 by Tristan Imbert, together with Tahina Spiral, who produces the brand's ravintsara essential oil in Sahambavy, on the Highlands of Fianarantsoa in Madagascar. The two have known each other since kindergarten in Grenoble. Their approach is simple: one plant only, and no middleman between the leaf and the bottle. In Madagascar, Tahina works with a team of three who tend the trees, harvest the leaves by hand and run the distillation on site, without machines. The organic plant range is certified FR-BIO-15 by Alpes Controles, and the cosmetic range is certified by Nature \u0026amp; Progres, a French label whose charter goes beyond organic standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Betsara Product Lines\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/betsara-organic-ravintsara-hydrosol\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Ravintsara Hydrosol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: A pure ravintsara floral water with no additives, distilled on the plantation at the same time as the essential oil, to refresh the face morning and evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/betsara-organic-dried-ravintsara-leaves\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Dried Ravintsara Leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: Hand-harvested organic leaves, the same ones the brand distills for its essential oil, for a simple, aromatic herbal infusion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/betsara-natural-ravintsara-mouthwash\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Ravintsara Mouthwash\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: An alcohol-free mouthwash with ravintsara hydrosol and essential oil, eugenol from clove and licorice that cleanses the mouth gently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Ingredients and Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRavintsara comes from Cinnamomum camphora, a tree grown in Madagascar, where its leaves were chewed or brewed as an infusion for generations before being distilled into essential oil. Betsara distills its leaves on the plantation: the steam carries away the essential oil, and the fragrant water collected at the same time becomes the hydrosol, a gentle, water-based form of the plant. The same leaves are also dried and packed for infusions at home. Every batch is traced, and the brand publishes the chromatography analysis of each batch on its website. The mouthwash adds eugenol from clove and licorice to ravintsara hydrosol and essential oil, without alcohol, synthetic fragrance or chemical preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy Betsara at Paris Pharmacy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eParis Pharmacy ships authentic Betsara products straight from France.
