Essential Care - Organic Skin Care
Award winning organic skin care products
Essential Care organic products have a long history: Margaret Weed creator of Essential Care produtcs began researching the formulations in the 1980s, after rekindling a lifelong passion for natural medicine by studying aromatherapy and herbal medicine. Motivated by the lack of products suitable for her own and her family's very sensitive and eczema-prone skin, she set about creating truly effective formulations, based only on organic herbs, plant oils and natural active ingredients that are compatible with the most sensitive skin.
Essential Care Organic philosophy is simple: All ingredients must have therapeutic value, as well as making the product a joy to use. Essential Care only use herbs and essential oils in therapeutic concentrations for optimum benefit. Plant oils must be virgin and cold-pressed so that they have their full antioxidant vitamin-content intact, so as to actively nourish the skin and protect it from premature ageing. Essential Care organic products are free from all potentially unhealthy synthetic chemicals.
Essential Care support fair trade, natural farming methods and have an active commitment to the care of the environment. This encompasses organic certification of the products, choosing materials which are locally-sourced where possible, are from sustainable and renewable resources, free from chemical contaminants, and are either recycled or can be recycled safely.
All the ingredients found within Essential Care organic products, except for the emulsifier beeswax, are plant-derived. All Essential Care products are handmade in small batches to ensure maximum freshness. Products are NEVER tested on animals. Essential Care ensure that their raw materials suppliers follow the same policy.
Essential Care is a European leader in certified organic skincare.
