A favorable environment is being created by the industry's growth, which is fostering innovation throughout the pharmaceutical sector through collaborations, start-ups, and rising investments.

Recently, The Business Fortune sat down to have a conversation with Tanya Goodwin, the Founder and CEO of Botanical Chemist Palm Cove

Q. How did Botanical Chemist start? How has the company grown since its foundation?

Botanical Chemist began with a passion for holistic health and natural remedies. I was inspired by personal experiences with botanical healing and combined pharmaceutical expertise with traditional wisdom to create a wellness-focused chemist. Starting as a small shop in Palm Cove, the company emphasized sustainable and ethically sourced products. Over time, the company expanded its services to include personalized consultations, custom compounding, and a diverse range of natural health products.
