At Desert Essence, we believe you deserve to feel wonder-full. Inspired by the beauty and resilience of nature and powered by the potency that comes from the desert, we are proud to offer a range of products for body, skin and hair to help nourish your body as well as your senses.
It all began with a simple concept:
Beauty is natural and Nature is beautiful
Using nutrient-rich desert botanicals like Tea Tree, Jojoba and Argan Oil, our personal care products work together in harmony to refresh and renew, without all the unnecessary additives. Desert Essence is committed to harvesting nature’s best ingredients and ensuring that our ingredients are responsibly and sustainably sourced. Expect wonders as you discover nature’s finest ingredients sourced from around the world.
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS with DESERT ROOTS
It’s no secret that desert-derived ingredients are our passion, but that’s only half the story. We care deeply about how we source our ingredients, too. From the premium-quality Tea Tree Oil of Australia to the golden Jojoba Oil of Peru, our ingredients are gathered around the globe from suppliers who share our love and respect for the planet and all who inhabit it. But don’t take our word for it.

SHARED VALUES in ACTION
It’s not enough to simply say that we care. We show it through our actions.
How? By partnering with like-minded organizations and suppliers that honor the values we hold in common.
Non-GMO Project
In support of non-GMO farming methods, we partner with Non-GMO Project to verify the origin of the ingredients in our dental care offerings and Jojoba Oils. Non-GMO Project is a North American nonprofit organization dedicated to building and protecting a non-GMO food supply. When you see their seal of approval, you know that unbiased, rigorous and transparent non-GMO standards are met.
USDA Organic
We believe that organic farming supports our planet and personal well-being in a significant way, which is why we select USDA-certified organic ingredients wherever possible. Several of our products are certified organic. Many of our non-certified-organic ingredients are cultivated sustainably by caring farmers around the world.
B Corp
As a certified B Corporation, we believe that working for the benefit of people and our planet is an essential element of success. By meeting high standards of public transparency, legal accountability and social/environmental performance, we—along with our fellow B Corporations—create a world that works for everyone.
Leaping Bunny
We can proudly say that every product we make is certified cruelty-free through the Leaping Bunny Program, meaning no animal testing is involved in our finished products or ingredients. Leaping Bunny sets an internationally recognized, comprehensive standard for cruelty-free products, making compassion a simple and straightforward consumer choice.
RSPO
We are proud to use 100% RSPO-Certified Sustainably Harvested Palm Oil in our bar soaps. This certification assures that our suppliers follow a strict, comprehensive set of ethical standards around how they treat the environment, wildlife and workers. By choosing RSPO-certified Palm Oil, you’re supporting rich soil, plant and animal biodiversity, and fair wages.
No Artificial Dyes or Fragrances
When it comes to what we put on our bodies, we prefer to play it safe and keep it real. For this reason, you’ll find no artificial dyes or scents in your Desert Essence bottle—only natural plant colors and pure essential oils.
Gluten-Free
We know that common food allergens are a source of serious concern for many, so we’ve formulated most of our products to be gluten-free.
