BEssential turned SEVEN yesterday!
If you asked me 7 years ago if I thought my business would be where it is today, I’d probably chuckle.
It’s so fun to look back and see how far it’s come- the change in labeling over time, the complexity of products I was making, all of the things I’ve learned through trial and error about the different properties and benefits of various oils, butters, and herbs.
Thank you all for continued support, I couldn’t do it without you 🥹🥰

All orders from this week will be shipped out tomorrow morning!
Just a friendly reminder with warmer temperatures comes the risk of product melting. While this in no way ruins or changes the product by anything other than appearance, I’d still prefer you receive your items the way they were intended.
✨please check your mailboxes frequently on the day of your estimated delivery according to your confirmation email. Most of my shipping boxes are purposely sized to fit in a mailbox.
✨if your product seemed to have gotten a little too warm, you can simply pop it in the fridge for a bit and give it another quick stir or whip.
✨this typically only applies to our cream products: Tallow Cream, Magnesium Butter, Muscle Rub, Diaper Rash & Eczema Cream, things of the like. Other products generally fare well in the heat and should have no issues.

Stay safe in the heat! 🫠

Our vegan formula body wash is available in 10 scent options!
The lavender & lavender vanilla are great for your tiny humans, but Citrus Splash has to be one of my favorites for myself 🍊🍋🍋‍🟩
Now also available in a refill option.

What soap is next to YOUR sink?
Be sure it’s not a toxic detergent. BEssential offers both liquid and bar soap, all non-toxic, natural ingredients.
Make the switch! Your skin is your largest organ which absorbs topical products and distributes it through the blood stream.

Friendly reminder of some of Magnesium’s wonderful benefits, which are most effective when used topically vs. an oral supplement.
