Why Essentials Kenya
Making natural safe skincare available for those who care
Driven by a desire for effective, toxin-free skincare products available on the Kenyan market, and inspired by the potential of the essential oil plants we are growing in our own gardens, we began exploring how to create our own products: Essentials Kenya was born.
Essentials Kenya is a completely natural, plant-based skincare company, based in Nairobi, that uses Kenyan produced oils and hydrosols ('plant waters') as the basis for its skincare products. The products are free of toxins and only made with ingredients that are accepted by COSMOS, one of the biggest international natural cosmetic certification bodies.
“Our Essentials Kenya skincare products contain the highest safe percentage of active ingredients possible and give you all the benefits plants can provide: pure plantpower for your skin!”
“Pure plantpower for your skin — the highest safe percentage of active ingredients possible.”— Essentials Kenya Philosophy
