About Us
How it all began:
We started making body butter as Christmas gifts for our family in 2011. Our first product was called Snowflake - (no 2 jars were alike! lol). We were always (and still are) searching for information about natural products and things to help us with 'healthy living' so natural body butter was a great idea for us. The funny thing is that the first year we tried this we were so busy that we didn't have time to get together to make our body butter until Christmas eve!!!! So basically it HAD to work! Thankfully it did work. The gifts were very appreciated by everyone. We told everyone to give us honest feed back...I guess we knew we'd do it again at some point...and we did. We've made body butter every holiday season since then. In addition to body butter, we expanded our product line to include FreshEssence deodorant, and ManFace shave cream. We also have a summer hair spritz that we make on occasion. Our body butter process as well as the ingredients have been changed over the years after several rounds of testing and trials. We now have a product that our friends and family RAVE about. Creamy, smooth, great moisture! We created it as a body butter, but it has turned out to be useful head to toe! Some reported back that they use it in their hair, others have mentioned using it on the face as a night cream. We're just happy to know that it brings joy (and moisture) to everyone.

Why FreshEssence natural deodorant???
Neither of us have used commercial anti-antiperspirants in years. Long story short - anti-antiperspirants contain ingredients that are not good for the body (such as aluminum and zinc) and in general it's not healthy to stop the body's natural process of sweating from the sweat glands in the arm pits. This could lead to a build up of unreleased toxins. With the rates of breast cancer that exists we have to consider that these sweat glands are so near to lymphnodes and blockage of toxins here may really be a bad thing! Separately we have each used several different natural deodorants on the market, but ended up using various home made versions of our own. Together we started making natural deodorant with a coconut oil base and other ingredients fragranced with essential oils. 2012 was the first time we made deodorant as a product to share. After testing a few different recipes over the years we have come up with a new and improved formulation that works like a charm for us both! Like the body butter, the deodorant has also been tested on several family members, including recently some of the men, with great success !!! |

ManFace – it’s not just for men and not just for the face!!! Our shaving cream was inspired by some of the men in Val's family. Because of the nourishing healing results from our body butter Val thought Essence Of Pishon could surely create something to deal with razor bumps and eczema. ManFace has a refreshing peppermint fragrance and is so moisturizing that some of our clients use it to moisturize the face on days that they aren't even shaving! Of course it's also great to use for the ladies delicate shaving needs as well. |
