Elyse Essentials : Local Organic Skincare Line

When Samantha Johnston Twining launched her line Elyse Essentials this spring one of her goals was to “become a first-class retailer specializing in natural products promoting a relaxed and tranquil lifestyle for everyone.”

Relaxed and tranquil? Easier said than done you might think as you scramble to complete your to-do list and get a decent nights sleep most days .

Well, don’t be so cynical. Elyse Essential are not only organic and made with sustainability in mind – they’re luxurious enough to offer a few moments of “me time” in your busy life.

Samantha was inspired by her personal experiences with natural oils, herbs and butter after  dealing with dry skin. When she learned that her concoctions were more effective than over-the counter products she decided to turn her hobby into a business.

Pamper yourself or someone who needs it with unique items like Vanilla Vixen Bath Milk or Brown Sugar Body Scrub.   Buy online at Elyse Essentials.
