Our journey
From essential oils to the world's purest salts.
Innovation, healing and nature's finest ingredients
Robyn and Heide's journey was sparked by a shared fascination with the therapeutic power of essential oils and natural health. As they delved deeper into the world of aromatherapy, their curiosity and creativity flourished, and they began crafting all-natural body products and skin care that harnessed the potency of pure essential oils.
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to adapt and innovate, leading to an all-natural sanitiser. It broadened the range, deepened the connection with the community and put Essentially Young on the map.
A personal struggle with eczema and psoriasis then led Robyn to discover the remarkable healing properties of pure Dead Sea salt, a breakthrough that inspired the first import of this natural treasure.
Our ongoing commitment to natural wellness and you
The journey continued with the introduction of Celtic salt from France and, more recently, magnesium flakes from Holland and Baja Gold mineral sea salt from the USA. Each milestone has been a testament to our dedication to sourcing the finest natural ingredients and creating products that genuinely make a difference to natural, healthy living.
Throughout this journey we have been humbled by the growth of Essentially Young, and we are grateful for the loving community that has supported us every step of the way. As we look to the future, we are excited to keep sharing our passion for natural wellness with you, and inspiring a healthier, more radiant you.
