About Us

About Simply Essential: Artisan Quality & Botanical Safety

Welcome to Simply Essential. We are a family-owned wellness brand based in West Yorkshire, dedicated to providing honest, high-quality aromatherapy and skincare.

Our philosophy is simple: we combine the traditional art of aromatherapy with modern safety standards to create products that you can trust on your skin and in your home.

Handmade to Order in the UK

Our story and the journey we've taken

We believe that freshness is key to a potent aromatherapy experience. That is why almost all Simply Essential branded products are hand-made to order.

  • Made for You: When you place an order, your massage oils and botanical blends are prepared specifically for you.

  • Artisan Batches: Our Massage Candles are the only exception. Because these require a full three days to set properly, we hand-pour them in small, regular batches. This ensures they are always as fresh as possible.

  • Never Truly Out of Stock: If you see a candle or product showing as "out of stock," please contact us direcetly. Bcause we make everything ourselves, we can often move your request to the front of the next batch to ensure you don't have to wait long.

Your Safety is Our Priority

Skincare should also mean "safe." that why you can be sure our products meet strict UK regulations:

  • CPSR Certified: Every Simply Essential product is covered by a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR). This is a professional safety assessment that ensures our recipes are stable and safe.

  • Government Notified: By law all skincare products must be uploaded to the UK Government Cosmetic Notification Portal. We are fully compliant with national guidelines and safety standards.

Ethical & Inclusive Wellness

We strive to provide options for every lifestyle and skin type:

  • Vegan Friendly: All Simply Essential aromatherapy blends and massage oils are 100% Vegan. While we also offer a wide range of skincare from other suppliers, we maintain a diverse collection to ensure there is something for everyone, but all products are labelled.

  • Paraben & SLS Free: We avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic "parfums," relying instead on the pure power of plant botanicals and essential oils.

Our Promise

Whether you are using our oils for professional spa treatments or a relaxing evening at home, you are receiving a product that has been crafted with care, tested for safety and delivered fresh to your door for maximum shelf life.

Thank you for supporting an independent British business.
