We craft all our bases and products onsite at our 70,000sq ft facility in Portland, Oregon, where we benefit from some of the cleanest and best water in the world. We’ve built a reputation for quality and consistency, and we believe everyone should understand what’s in their skin and hair care.Essential was founded by an innovative couple in 2002 with the goal of creating custom products for their children’s complex skin care needs. It grew from a kitchen operation all the way up to our current 2-building facility, now with the goal to make premium wholesale skin and hair care available to all. We’re very proud to support thousands of businesses around the globe and are constantly inspired by how they creatively market and alter our bases or craft their own unique products. Essential was purchased in late 2011, becoming a majority woman-owned business with an even broader commitment to sustainability and excellence. We moved from our previous location in SE Portland to the historic Industrial District in NW Portland in 2012, and have recently added an additional 15,000sf of adjacent warehouse space to accommodate our growth. Although our facilities are not open to the public due to confidentiality and manufacturing requirements, we remain accessible through our blog and video content, community events (prior to the pandemic), attending and presenting at conferences, and donating to both local and national causes close to our hearts. </p>
