Essential Care Range

The Background
Based in Suffolk, England, Essential Care are a small family team of Margaret, Colin and daughter Abi. Margaret 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.
The unique formulae and products, are still hand-made by Margaret.
Philosophy
Essential Care have a simple philosophy: All ingredients must have therapeutic value, as well as making the product a joy to use. They use herbs and essential oils in therapeutic concentrations for optimum benefit. All the ingredients used, except for the emulsifier beeswax, are plant-derived. There is no animal testing.
They support fair trade, natural farming methods and have an active commitment to the care of the environment. This encompasses organic certification of our 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.
