Escential Lotions and Oils started in a tiny Portland, Oregon storefront in 1979 with the simple goal to offer the best quality fragrances, bath, and skin care products at a reasonable price while providing excellent customer service. Escential, a second-generation woman-owned business, has built its success on the high quality of its fragrances.

Escential has grown into a bustling store in one of Portland's busiest shopping districts. We are rapidly increasing our internet presence, while maintaining our traditional catalogue business. In an effort to keep our products affordable, we have kept our packaging plain and simple: just quality ingredients in a quality product.

Escential is earth-friendly. We urge our local customers to bring their empty bottles in for refills. Some of our customers have been using the same bottle for twenty years! That is a lot of plastic that didn't make it to the landfill! We reuse everything we possibly can including the boxes and packing in which we ship orders. We urge you to continue the cycle.

Escential products are healthy, pure and biodegradable. They are produced under the strictest standards of quality and safety. None of our products are tested on animals.

Many of the Escential brand products give you the choice of adding one of over 190 perfume oils and essential oils. With custom scenting, you can coordinate your personal fragrance with your bath, skin, hair, and massage products. Choose your favorite scent from the custom scenting drop down list. We'll do the rest!
