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. The balm does not contain any animal ingredients, so it is also suitable for vegans.

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.

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.

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.
