Who We Are & What We Can Do For You
At Essential we have decades of experience developing custom formulas and improving existing products to ensure they meet the highest standards.
We provide assistance in product development, including product formulation, packaging and labeling to assure your products are safe and stable. We have aestheticians and certified cosmetic formulators on staff, and an experienced production team that can handle all types of scale-up challenges. All our staff, both production and administrative, are in one place, and this means that your Account Manager has a full understanding of your product at every stage of the process.
We offer a wide range of services from concept and product planning to finished products - all handled within our FDA Registered and cGMP-compliant facility by our experienced professional staff. Essential's manufacturing process meets USDA Certified Organic and Oregon Tilth standards and we can work with you to help earn those seals for your products.
All our products are Leaping Bunny certified and we can help you gain this certification too.
We believe effective, beautiful skin and hair care can produce real results for everyone, without damaging the planet.
We’d love to help you achieve your goals together and build a lasting relationship!
