Located in the green pastures of Suffolk, the family run partnership of Essential Care was established five years ago in 2003 as a mail order company by team-leader and mother Margaret. She began researching the special formulations back in the 80s, whilst studying aromatherapy and herbal medicine. Like most mothers, it was the lack of suitable products for her family’s very sensitive and eczema-prone skin that were available in the health care market.
Basing her ingrediants on organic herbs, plant oils and natural active elements that are effective on the most sensitive skin, are all hand made and unique to essential care. And winning Best Organic Bodycare Product in the Soil Association and Natural & Organic Awards 2009, there’s something about mother’s touch that is a sure success for this family!
The Coconut Candy Scrub – RRP., £21 for 200g – also won its way into The Green Beauty Bible this year. And it’s no wonder: 100% of the product is organically grown or produced, and these products are also sourced from certified Fairtrade suppliers too! This is what the Essential Care team had to say:
“This is probably the tastiest product we’ve ever made: An exquisite, luxurious body scrub with gently exfoliating sugar cane crystals, rich in glycolic acid to rejuvenate tried skin, delicately blended with deliciously fragrant virgin coconut oil and cocoa butter to leave skin sliky smooth and moisturised.”
The Essential Care ethos is a back to basics mantra: the best organic products, for the best results, using the best most valued ingredients.
“All ingredients must have therapeutic value, as well as making the product a joy to use. We use herbs and essential oils in therapeutic concentration 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. Our products are free from all potentially unhealthy synthetic chemicals.”
Essential Care’s family run business has all the quirks and charms of an in-house operation, but, importantly for any online shoppers, it retains a professionalism that can only be backed by a passion and dedication to herbal and therapeutic healing.
“We will not compromise the quality and effectiveness of any of our unique products to cut costs. We continually source natural raw materials to offer our customers the best value for money, highest quality, organic, pure, and ethical products.
All the ingrediants we use, except for the emulsifier beeswax, are plant-derived. All Essential Care products are handmade in small batches to ensure maximum feshness.”
And it is this refreshing approach to beauty care that sets Essential aside from other competitors. Its natural and organic product range does not compromise any detail for maintaining the opulent quality it is growing to be associated with. Award winning, customer satisfying, and 100% naturally obeying – Essential Care are a family run success story that have many happy endings in sight.
