Just a reminder so you don’t get caught running out of products over Christmas.
Ideally let me know next week sometime - last day for posting is Friday 19th & last day for collection in clinic is Monday 22nd.
Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄 🥳

With great sadness, we share the passing of Trevor Steyn, Founder and CEO of Esse.

Trevor dedicated his life to remaking the skincare system — guided by microbiome science, a strong ethical foundation, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability.
His vision will continue to lead us forward.💔
I woke to this news this morning and was completely shocked. Having only just met him a few weeks ago in London I can honestly say he was inspirational, humble and so passionate about the company he built - ESSE. He had so much more to give 😔
Long may his legacy continue.

Our natural skin oils (sebum) have evolved over the course of our entire existence as a human race.

It’s finely tuned make up of triglycerides, fatty acids, squlane and cholesterol + are finely tuned to serve a specific purpose, in fact many purposes:
- creating a water resistant barrier
- keeping the skin plump by stopping too much water escaping
- feeding our microbiome
- keeping the acidic pH of skin to deter dangerous bacteria
- transporting antioxidants
- offering some natural light protection
- anti-inflammatory properties

There is NOTHING that can be created and put in a pot for us to apply that would be anywhere near as good for our skin, so let’s respect it and get out of the mindset of needing to strip it away.
