I have been a long-time proponent of self-care. After my oldest son was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in 2004, I began researching the ingredients of my favorite bath and body products.  I learned that the products contained over 10 unhealthy ingredients including alcohol, colorant-filled dyes, petroleum jelly, phthalates, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). This discovery prompted me to seek a natural skin care regimen for my family.  From my dining room table, I began experimenting with Shea butter and olive oil to create True Esscents by LA body butter. Eventually, I changed the base ingredients to Shea, mango butter, and castor oil.  These plant-based ingredients restore the skin’s natural oil balance.

 

Our products are made safe—with you in mind. All of True Esscents by LA handcrafted products are filled with moisturizers and antioxidants that are true to your skin and hair. Our products contain both natural and organic ingredients. Essential oils are used in the majority of our fragrances. The fragrance oils are alcohol free and do not contain harmful dyes. The entire skin, bath and hair line have worked miracles.  Now my family and others have healthier skin and hair.

 

Since the re-launch in 2017, we have grown from the initial 3-product lineup to more than 10 products (and counting).

 

Feeling your best begins with self-care. Prepare to improve your skin and hair, and feel great doing it by indulging in ingredients made specifically for the skin. True Esscents is designed to make skin and hair care simple but effective. Let us show you how to maintain your natural and esscential beauty.
