Desert Essence

Desert Essence was founded in 1978 around a simple concept: beauty is natural, and nature is beautiful. By bringing the best of nature’s offerings to personal care regimens everywhere, we strive to strengthen the bonds between our planet and all the beings that call it home. Creating a healthy, harmonious relationship with the Earth and our community is the foundation for all we do. We believe in being responsible to others, honest, and forward-thinking to create and preserve a better future for us all.

WE BELIEVE INGREDIENTS REFLECT WHAT WE’RE MADE OF: The foundation of any product is its ingredients, and we believe in using only the best to create high quality products that also deliver an effective, healthy beauty experience. We want our products to work in harmony with your body; for this, you should never have to wonder what’s in them. All our ingredients are clearly labeled on the product and our website. Our products contain no artificial colors or fragrances because few things are more beautiful than peace of mind, body, and spirit.

WE BELIEVE GOOD BUSINESS MEANS BUILDING A BETTER WORLD: We define success not just by financial performance, but by how we help beautify our world. As a company centered around making a difference since 1978, we are proud to be a certified B-Corp Corporation. B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability. They inspire all businesses to compete not only to be the best in the world, but the best for the world.

WE’RE COMMITTED TO SOURCING OUR INGREDIENTS RESPONSIBLY: Just as nature is kind and giving to us, we strive to be kind and giving in return. We use our ingredients responsibly. In compliance with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification standards, our bar soaps are made using 100% sustainably harvested palm and palm kernel oil. We’re proud our soaps are formulated with palm responsibly grown and harvested, and does not damage plant and animal biodiversity, the livelihood of local communities, or soil's productivity.

WE CARE ABOUT THE LEGACY WE LEAVE BEHIND: Our products have biodegradable formulas and our packaging is recyclable because the only footprint we want to leave is that of quality, health and thoughtfulness.
