About Tugsoyun Davaadorj

Oyu Botanica is a clean botanical skincare and wellness brand rooted in Mongolian heritage, made for reactive and sensitive skin. Founded by formulator, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Tugs-Oyun Davaadorj, the brand brings together botanicals and traditional wisdom from the Mongolian steppe with modern green chemistry. Every Oyu Botanica formula is EWG-Verified, USDA Organic, and cruelty-free. That means ingredient transparency and no compromises on safety or results. The brand has won the Universal Global Green Beauty Award (2024) and been recognized by the Beauty Shortlist Awards. For more than four years, Oyu Botanica has grown as a founder-led brand. It sells direct to consumers at oyubotanica.com and through wholesale and retail partners. Tugs formulated the line herself after training through Formula Botanica. She built the brand on a simple belief: skincare should calm the skin, respect the planet, and honor where its ingredients come from. Topics we love to talk about on podcasts: • Building a clean beauty brand as a solo founder • Mongolian botanicals and heritage-inspired skincare • Reading ingredient labels and caring for reactive skin • Certifications (EWG, USDA Organic, cruelty-free) and what they really mean • Growing from DTC into wholesale and retail • Founder mindset, confidence, and resilience
