There was a time when our skin’s ecosystem was in balance. Biodiverse. Healthy. And wild.​

But industrial beauty stripped it and polluted it. Balance was replaced with chemical dependence. We lost a microbiome perfected by thousands of years of evolution.​

We lost our best skin – and we want it back.​

It’s time to get your best skin back in 30 days.

Join the #30dayrewild challenge

If you’re looking for a sustainable skincare regime that brings out your skin’s best version of itself, then you’re going to want to try Esse’s #30dayrewild challenge. It’s simple, it’s eco-friendly, and it’s effective.

1. What is the challenge?​
Esse has compiled the perfect rewilding Trial/Travel sets for the #30dayrewild challenge. During this time, we want you to cut out all other skincare products and use the Trial/Travel Set to give your skin and its microbiome the chance to return to the state for which they evolved. Simply buy the Sensitive Skin Trial/Travel Set and get started with the products. After just 30 days, you will start to see improvement in your skin.​

2. What are the benefits?​

  • It simplifies your daily routine:

This challenge encourages you to avoid deep cleanses where possible, using a mild cleanser only to remove make-up. It’s better to value the work that your skin does to produce its natural, protective oils. Leaving skin’s lipid barrier intact also helps to support healthy microbes.​

  • It addresses the needs of sensitive skin: ​

Re-establishing the microbial balance is key in resolving skin concerns. Esse uses green chemistry to provide products that consider troubled or sensitive skin.​

  • It leads to healthier skin: ​

Esse uses probiotics in its skincare range – microorganisms which have a number of health benefits for the skin. Among these are an improved barrier function to block toxins and pathogens, maintenance of the skin pH, reduced skin sensitivity and improved immune response, as well as slowing the ageing process. Esse products will ensure you have healthier skin, improved skin elasticity for a more youthful appearance, and a reduction in redness.​

Start your journey to your best skin

Esse’s Trial/Travel Sets seek to return skin to its roots, providing it with the natural support it needs to rewild its own microbiome.

Three boxes of Esse skin care products are displayed, each featuring a partly visible female face against a colorful background matching the respective box's main color (blue, yellow, green). In front of the boxes are five brown glass bottles and jars of varying sizes.

Discover your Trial/Travel Set

If you’re new to the Esse range, then we encourage you to start with the Sensitive Range before moving on to the other sets once your skin has adjusted. But, to make things as easy as possible for you, all our Trial / Travel Sets have been laid out to support every skin type with clear instructions on product use.​

The Esse Sensitive Skin Trial / Travel Set is displayed, featuring four brown bottles and jars in various sizes positioned in front of white and blue packaging. The packaging highlights an image of a woman’s face partially obscured by a flower.
