What our customers say

Mild enough for you or your child's eczema

"Both my son (10 years) and myself suffer from skin eczema and have skin sensitive to any perfumed or fragranced soap or bath products. My son's condition causes great misery for him on the occasions that it flares up - usually after a bath, and we have tried all sorts of products both GP prescribed and bought over the counter to try and alleviate the intense itching and redness he experiences.

"Since stumbling across an Essentially Natural promotion in Bury shopping centre one Saturday, my quest for a soap that suits both of us is finally over.

"Over the years I have experimented with a large range of soaps made from Olive oil, eventually abandoning them because of the small amount of fragrance they contain. I was therefore fairly sceptical about Essentially Natural's claims at first and thus bought just 1 bar of the organic castile soap (being the gentlest with least ingredients).

"We have been using organic castile now for about 12 months - the longest we have been able to use any one soap regularly, and although I cannot say our skin condition has magically disappeared, we are able to use this soap daily without experiencing the painful and irritatingly itchy flare ups that other products have caused. This is particularly the case with my son whose skin is much more sensitive than my own.

"I am sure that there are other soaps in the range that we would be able to use but having found one that suits my son so well I am reluctant to fix something that 'ain't broke', although I have a sneaking desire to try some of the other gentler soaps for myself - they all sound so wonderful!" (Jan, Prestwich, Greater Manchester).

(Jan, you might like to try our Chamomile Soother as a soap which other customers with eczema have used on themselves or their children).

A Fantastic Shampoo Bar!

"I was recently home from New Zealand and visiting my parents who had one of your Nettle Marshmallow & Rosemary Shampoo Bars. I just wanted to write to say how fantastic I thought it was. I was rather sceptical about using a 'bar of soap' to wash my hair, however, I was incredibly impressed and infact I chose to use it everyday for the rest of my 3 week holiday, making my (long) hair feel incredibly (and surprisingly) soft and shiny.

Sadly customs in New Zealand will not allow products like this to be brought back into the country, so I couldn't bring any back with me, however I'll make sure that my parents have a bar in stock every time I return home to the UK!" (Nicola, now living in New Zealand).

Fed up of constantly breaking nails?

"After trying endless other nail strengtheners from leading chemists and with not much improvement to my nails, I tried your oil and I've seen drastic improvements to the strength and look of my nails.

The improvement has been incredible.

I would recommend this product to anyone with weak, brittle and flaky nails." (Maria in Pendle, Lancs.).

(Maria, after buying several of our products, goes on to say:

"I would recommend anyone to try something out of the extensive range of beauty products that are available for all ages."

The gentlest and mildest possible, from a customer with skin cancer

"I was recommended to you by my mother who has skin cancer.

Yours is the only soap she has found that she can use without causing irritation. The oils in the soap do seem to benefit her skin, keeping the irritation at bay, and she loves using them.

I now use them my self and I too love them!" (Jackie, Bury, Lancs.).

From Aspire Magazine, who have awarded us a Certificate of Recognition for Organic Product Range 2007

"My favourite product was the Organic Peppermint Lip Balm which left my lips feeling soft, nourished and fuller. Definitely a handbag essential, it tastes delicious!"

"Compared to some other completely organic soap and cosmetic companies, Essentially Natural offer great value for money!" (Features Editor)

The height of luxury skincare

"I can hardly contain my excitement at such 'highly recommended' products.

The Goat's Milk & Rose Petal soap, along with the Goat's Milk and Ylang-ylang soap are a must.

Both soaps are beautiful to smell and produce a rich lather. But most importantly leaves your skin feeling ultra soft." (Mrs. Martins, W. Yorks).

It's like a miracle cream

"I've been using your orange and frankincense hand balm for over a year and it's sooooo nice! You just need a little bit and it smells really good.

"I use it on my hands, my body, and on my feet at night with my night socks on (to my partner's disgust).

"But when I take them off in the morning my feet feel so yummy that he forgives me right away."

(Natasha in London).

(oh dear, can't you tell she works in advertising?) :)
