One of our tipsters, Catherine M., absolutely loves Esse. The organic skin care company is located in her country of South Africa and sells 100% natural products. Barley Grass and Mint Gel Cleanser, a Grapefruit and Green Tea Mask, Aloe and Rosemary Toner – feeling refreshed just reading about it? Check out this “cool” feature – all Esse moisturizers (available in Light, Rich or Deep) are sold in an aluminum cylinder which contains five pots of moisturizer. The pots that are not being used can be stored in the refrigerator which will help them to maintain their potency. The cylinder will last for at least a month and a half (if used twice a day, as advised) and refills are available. All of Esse’s packaging is recyclable and 5% of their net profit is donated to biodiversity preservation. We wish we could find Esse in the States because there are certainly a few products on their site that we wouldn’t mind indulging in. Thank Catherine! ::Esse
