- Brings instant relief to chapped and dry lips.

- Thanks to the absence of aromas and fragrances (even natural ones), it is suitable for those with extremely sensitive skin or for those who do not like perfumed products.
Key ingredients
Organic Beeswax (Cera Flava) - Softens the skin and has antioxidant properties. It protects and softens the skin and is rich in vitamin A. It contains up to 284 different beneficial ingredients. The most important are monoesters and diesters of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, free fatty acids and hydroxypolyesters. Thanks to its consistency and physical properties, it ensures the right consistency in creams. BIO wax guarantees the natural purity of the bee product without chemical pollution and makes the skin soft and supple. Organic wax retains its original healing properties and is safe for you and the bees.
BIO SUNFLOWER OIL (Helianthus Annuus) - for its detoxifying effects it is the second (after sesame) most commonly used oil in Ayurvedic body therapy. It is slightly warming and has very good regenerative effects. It contains high amounts of vitamins A, B, D, E and minerals, so it is also a suitable support for the treatment of problematic skin. This cold-pressed sunflower oil is also treated with Pi technology, which further improves the availability of the bioactive substances for the human body.
BIO BAMBUCK BUTTER (Butyrospermum Parkii) - the highest quality butter has a high content of bioactive substances such as antioxidants, vitamins A, D, E, F, K, fatty acids, phytosterols and many other valuable substances that perfectly nourish your skin, lock in moisture and restore the protective film. Shea butter leaves the skin of the lips incredibly soft and supple.
BIO COCAOBAMA OIL (Theobroma Cacao) - promotes a healthy glow of the skin, softens it, moisturizes it, provides it with antioxidants and thanks to all these effects fights aging and wrinkles. It contains a polyphenol (CMP) that prevents the production of immunoglobulin that causes dermatitis/eczema.
NON-GMO VITAMIN E (Tocopherol) - Alpha-tocopherol, a fat-soluble vitamin, occurs naturally mainly in vegetable oils and cereal germ. When applied to the skin, it promotes hydration, suppleness and softness. All these effects are mainly related to its antioxidant activity - the ability to remove free radicals that are formed as a result of various types of radiation and chemical or other undesirable environmental influences. When used externally, it protects skin cells from damage, slows down the aging process and contributes to the elasticity, softness and youthful appearance of the skin.
Without cruelty
No Organic Essence products are tested on animals. The organic ingredients in all Organic Essence products do not require animal testing because their effects are already proven and well known. Unlike new synthetic chemicals, which require animal testing to rule out possible negative effects.
Pioneers of zero waste
Organic Essence packaging is fully degradable. And that includes clear protective tape, paint and glue. Do you imagine biodegradable packaging as an unsightly brown mass? Organic Essence's eco-friendly packaging will take your breath away. Artistically designed by the company's co-founder, Ms. Gail, they are eye-catching with gorgeous colors and reflect the joyful spirit of California and its free-spirited approach to life. Organic Essence has been focusing on living without packaging since 2008. The owners and employees are real advocates of a clean environment, organic agri-culture and together with other producers are engaged in the endless fight against GMOs and mass food production in the USA.
International organic certification USDA Organic
Organic Essence products are certified USDA Organic and you will find this logo on all of their products. Their certification is provided by the third largest certification company in California, Organic Certifiers. USDA Organic certification is the US form of certification for controlled organic farming. This federal organization aims to promote trade, agricultural organic production and rural communities, and protect the environment, among other things.
The USDA Organic logo guarantees that the product contains at least 95% organic ingredients, and compliance with all conditions is checked several times a year. USDA Organic prohibits the use of genetically modified ingredients, artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and other chemical products that negatively affect health. This means that the overall production and processing of all Organic Essence products is from start to finish extensively inspected and approved in accordance with the most stringent standards in the world and undergoes no chemical processing at all.

Organic Essence was founded in 2006 immediately after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and its organic program (USDA Organic), granted permission for agriculturally grown, non-food products to be certified as compliant with existing organic food standards. Among companies focused on body care products, Organic Essence was one of the first to receive this certification and is still one of the few companies that produce only certified 100% organic products.
Certification for organic products is important because deceptive marketing has made the term 'natural' product meaningless. Organic Essence simply does not use any chemicals that could have a negative effect on health and the environment, as zero is the safest amount of synthetic substances.
From the beginning, the manufacturer has been interested in the ancient use of natural, traditional ingredients in product development, because their effects have been known for many years, e.g. we are mostly familiar with the properties of various fruits, vegetables and herbs, and we know that such hemlock is poisonous. On the other hand, new synthetic chemicals have not been around long enough to say for sure what effect they have on our health and environment. However, we are finding that substances that were once considered safe, such as the infamous Round-Up, are proving dangerous over time.
Organic Essence's sustainable natural approach is not just limited to the contents of the packaging, but also includes the packaging itself. Initially, Organic Essence packaged their products in plastic packaging like most. There was not enough education and awareness of the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment and animals. That all changed the day a dead sperm whale washed up on a beach near the company's headquarters, its entrails hiding a huge amount of plastic it had ingested in the ocean...
The impact of plastics (not only) on underwater life
"One morning, driving to the office, we spotted a 30-foot-long sperm whale that had washed up on South Beach beach and was only in its adolescence. But instead of growing up and enjoying life in the ocean, he lay there motionless and dead. We felt an indescribable sadness. The wildlife veterinarian determined that the whale died of starvation because its stomach was filled with plastic. This was caused by plastic??? We were so proud of our USDA Organic certification for safe body care, but our packaging was putting the environment and animal life at risk.
Being certified organic by the Department of Agriculture was of great importance to us in terms of environmental sustainability and our goal was to help people avoid synthetic substances. But everything we made was wrapped in plastic. We realised that we are part of a huge environmental problem because plastic is not a sustainable resource.
After a beached whale opened our eyes, we discovered that plastic is a mildly toxic chemical. Until then, it was easy to think that plastic was as inert as glass. However, we now know that plastic releases phthalates and other chemicals into the ingredients of creams and other cosmetic and food products. Plastic takes hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, and even after breaking down into micro-particles it continues to release its chemical load into the environment.
What bothered us a lot was the fact that our Organic Essence brand was based on completely non-toxic products, without the addition of any chemicals. And now we've discovered that plastic packaging is contaminating our careful organic formulations with synthetic hormones and cancer-causing chemicals. Chemical contamination is the exact opposite of what organic certification and the organic lifestyle represents. We had to find a non-toxic and sustainable alternative to plastic packaging."
Packaging industry and greenwashing
The packaging industry is dominated by plastics. Manufacturers know that customers want a good price and environmental sustainability, but environmental sustainability costs more money. Marketing advertising costs less than real sustainable eco-packaging. That's why the modern marketing handbook highlights the positives as much as it can - directing attention to small improvements and promoting them as big breakthroughs is commonplace. Cheating ranges from small lies to blatant ones.
Wonderful slogans prevail in all media, but the problem remains that there are few real and lasting environmentally sustainable solutions in the world.
Organic Essence is based on producing tangible products that deliver results, not on illusion. They designed and developed their unique eco-friendly paper packaging themselves. Their first development attempt in the packaging sector was a paper container in 2008 and then paper tubes in 2009. Since then, they have developed other sustainable eco-packaging products and supply them to other companies. It holds more than 15 patents for packaging, covering a wide range of applications and needs.
Is the paper environmentally sustainable?
The importance of environmental sustainability is to support all life on the planet, and in doing so we support human life. Matter that is of living origin and that supports life is sustainable.
Chemicals that harm living creatures and the environment over time are not. Paper as a packaging material comes from living matter, and when you throw it away it goes back to its living origin, as a result it serves as food for insects and other invisible life. Paper leaves virtually no carbon footprint (it is carbon neutral) because it absorbs carbon directly from the air. Paper is the most recycled material on the planet. Paper does not contaminate organic certified products (as plastic packaging does). And most importantly... paper doesn't kill whales and other animals. Paper packaging, when it is used up, becomes part of the natural cycle of life, not something that threatens it.
Organic Essence products - and their packaging - are rooted in and are a sustainable part of life on Earth.
The Organic Essence brand was created to help both people and nature.
