The Essentially Natural Family
Founded in 2014 by cousins Janet and Vicki, Essentially Natural emerged from a growing awareness of needing to take control of what we put into and onto our bodies, and into our environment. Our mission? To inspire others to embrace natural, sustainable choices by providing a platform for high-quality, planet and people-friendly products.
Our Journey and Growth
While our core goal remains unchanged - offering the best in natural products - we've evolved and expanded. We're guided by a strict ingredients policy in order to offer premium ingredients for your wellness, skincare, haircare, and home product creations, empowering you on your DIY journey. Quality ingredients, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility in every purchase.
