Our story
Chemicals are lame. Essentials aren’t.
Essentology uses only the essentials. We believe that’s the key to better health, better skin and, of course, a better planet. Basically, we think chemicals are lame and that unnecessary packaging should be banned.
Greg
How it started
It all began with sunscreen.
Greg’s skincare journey started about ten years ago. Back then it was nearly impossible to find a chemical-free sunscreen. Being fair-skinned and fed up, he decided to make his own.
Fast forward seven years and he became the king of mineral sunscreens (that’s what we call him around here). And he didn’t stop there. He went on to create a whole range of skincare: all natural, all organic, all eco-friendly and all made with love.
Only the essentials
Nature’s finest oils, butters and waxes. Nothing synthetic to bulk it out.
Hand made in Joburg
Made in our own factory, where we’re obsessive about quality, cleanliness and precision.
Less plastic, every year
We’re removing the little plastic we still use, for the sake of our planet and oceans.
What goes in
Nature’s best.
Every product starts with 13 of nature’s finest butters, oils and waxes, sourced from Africa. We add plant extracts that skin loves, such as vitamin C, frankincense, aloe vera and full-spectrum CBD oil, and leave out everything it doesn’t need.
Our skincare, supplements and health care ranges are 100% natural and carefully researched to give your body a helping hand against busy, stressful lifestyles.
