• Circular Homecare Design

Essence

The majority of FMCG home care cleaning brands are far from meeting the needs of the circular economy. In fact 90% of the cleaning products we use in our home are made with water.

But why pay to ship plastic bottles of this precious resource around the world, when more circular options exist?

In response, we’ve created Essence - a premium botanical home care brand that embraces ethics and the circular economy at every step.
