Essance Skincare is a specialty handcrafted herbal, organic, and vegan skincare company in Portland, Oregon. At Essance Skincare, we believe it is just as essential to nourish our skin with natural plant-based products as it is to feed our bodies with natural organic foods.

Our founder and creator Jasmine, was taught at an early age by her mother; the benefits and remedies of Chinese medicine based on Yin and Yang energy. Jasmine's mother explained in nature that the power of plants hold not only intrinsic healing properties but also topical healing properties.

Soon after college, Jasmine began to work for a skincare company. As their project manager she began to learn about different concentrations and formulations present in mass produced skincare. In her free time, Jasmine started researching and experimenting. Eventually she created specific herbal skincare formulations. Her proprietary formulas contained Chaga Mushroom, Teas, Ginseng, Dragon's Blood and more. These ingredients are the basis of the Essance Skincare line we all know and love today.

Essance mission is to organically connecting humans to the Raw beauty of our ancestors through products, services, and events from the heart to the skin. We source only the best organic, sustainable, and fair trade ingredients. When you look at an Essance product, you will see that it is free of artificial color, artificial fragrance, harmful sulfates and phthalates. You will notice that each product is a powerhouse of organic and medicinal plant ingredients intended to revitalize, heal, and protect the skin.

We firmly believe that you should be aware of what you are putting on your body with full disclosure of all ingredients. We believe that spending a few moments each day to take care of your skin is a vital part of your wellness. Our value is to focus on the 5 WEARS Pillar which include: 

Wellness

We know a variety ingredients will inspire different moods. Using our products can be an experience that is almost meditative; and it's the essence of self care. Investing in self care promotes wellness.
