Why choose natural products? The Essentially Young difference... Passion. People. Purpose. Planet.
Our world is so full of toxins and our planet is over polluted.
Our water is no longer clean and pure.
Our air is “dirty” and our food lacks vital nutrients.
Our stress levels are through the roof, leaving our mental-emotional state toxic too.
As our skin is the largest organ, it is now critical we become aware of what we use and apply on our bodies, decreasing the amount of toxins and chemicals we use, will lessen the stress and pressure on our immunity and health.

ESSENTIAL OIL INFUSED… What does this mean?
Essential Oils are the volatile aromatic compounds that come from the leaves, flowers, bark and other parts of plants, trees and fruit. Essential oils are extracted through steam distillation, cold pressing and resin tapping depending on the essential oil sourced. Pure essential oils are much more potent and powerful than the botanicals they are derived from as the concentration is highly increased. For the past 5,000 years, essential oils have been used for medicinal purposes, cosmetics and perfumes. Long before the western world began practicing aromatherapy, oils were being used by the Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Today, there are trained professionals, including aromatherapists and nutritionists who use the healing power of essential oils every day.
Essential oils are composed of very small molecules that can penetrate your cells, and some compounds in essential oils can even cross the blood brain barrier. They differ from fatty oils (such as those in vegetables or nuts) that come from large molecules as they are more easily absorbed. For instance, most vegetable oils will stay on your skin and may even clog your pores because they are not small enough to get into your system, whereas essential oils will soak right into your skin. Essential oils placed anywhere on the body are “transdermal”, which means they can actually pass through your skin and into your circulatory system and cells.
- 1 drop of essential oils has enough molecules to cover each cell in the Human body 40 000 times
- Each essential oil can contain hundreds of chemical compounds, making their uses virtually limitless
