Essential Embrace - A Touch Of Nature
About Us
Our Story
We are a mother and daughter team, both have sensitive, re-active and allergy prone skin. In addition to this we carry the South African genetic R59W gene responsible for Variegate Porphyria, I have the active disease in an acute form which affects the skin amongst other issues.
During the onset of Covid-19 at the start of 2020, we had what can only be described as a reality check. Covid brought about many changes globally, many people suddenly found themselves in a lockdown situation, enabling us to drastically slow down, change our working patterns and habits.
Because of this lockdown we were able to take a good look at our lifestyle habits which contributed to our skin problems. The constant ongoing eczema outbreaks that no amount of over the counter medication could alleviate. The unhealthy eating habits developed over time, combined with stressful jobs.
Suddenly our movements were curtailed, gone were the days of international or national travel, families were and are still kept apart.....but....the skies were clear, we could breath in cleaner air because with restriction on movement there were fewer cars on the road, no planes in the air, etc and that equalled less air pollution.
This was the prompt and turning point for us, we re-evaluated and questioned our beliefs, goals and what we wanted from life. Rushing from one task to the next, always too busy to enjoy special moments, to make that phone call to friends or family, spend time with a pet or just appreciate how wonderful nature and the planet are and how they work in harmony. This had to change.
We have not seen our precious family who are scattered globally for well over a year due to restricted air travel. This made us realise what was really important in life, things that all the money in the world could not replace.
In short this was a whole complete change encompassing and focusing on not just one area of lifestyle but the whole.
We have always been actively involved in skincare to some degree, especially with regard to essential oils and their therapeutic benefits and again how wonderful is nature, because that's were all these beautiful oils stem from!
Hence, Essential Embrace - A Touch of Nature was born.
Our Ethos
We are also big supporters of the animal rights movement and all our products are 100% cruelty- free, hoping that people realise there are alternative options out there for those wanting to support and create awareness themselves, making a difference to the lives of many animals. Another important aspect for us was to not only provide a product that is all natural and cruelty-free but also one that is environmentally friendly. All our packaging has been carefully selected to either be re-used in various ways or alternatively recycled and we have chosen aluminium containers to reduce wastage, protect our home and another primary advantage is it helps protect the ingredients as well. Our finished product is then neatly wrapped in a linen bag and attached is a uniquely written inspirational quote to share some positivity, encouragement, and empowerment amongst our clients. Supporting various charitable causes is another way our business wants to make a change and create awareness. We have selected, you, Living Without Abuse as our first charity.
We appreciate everything you stand for and all that you are doing to help support women, men and people of all ages and backgrounds. And because of this we pledge to donate a percentage of our profits to your charity. This is a cause that is close to home for us and we are humbled to be working along side an inspirational organisation such as yours. Uniqueness and exclusivity are what we at Essential Embrace strive for and we want to make each and every client of ours feel special. This is why we delicately selected everything that we feel reflects who we are. We want to inspire; we want to empower, and we want to make a change and together with the support of our clients and Living Without Abuse we feel this is within our reach.
