The Beginning
We partnered with leading dermatologists to challenge an industry built on convincing you to buy more.
Our philosophy is simple: less is more. We believe in creating products that work, backed by science, and designed with honesty.
No unnecessary steps. No empty promises. Just effective skincare that respects your skin and your intelligence.
Essentia™
Our Philosophy
Essentia is built on a fundamental belief that skincare should be straightforward, effective, and respectful of your skin's natural intelligence.
We've reimagined skincare by removing what doesn't work and focusing on what truly matters.
Radical Simplicity
We've reimagined skincare by removing what doesn't work. Every formula is stripped down to its essential, most effective ingredients.
Scientific Integrity
Our approach is evidence-based, not trend-driven. We rely on peer-reviewed research and clinical testing to validate every ingredient.
Conscious Design
We eliminate unnecessary elements at every stage. From packaging to formulation, we prioritize sustainability and intentional design.
Meet the founders behind the product.
Founder
Dr. Monica Lewis
Founder
Dr. Elena Kovač
Dermatologists with a combined 40 years of clinical practice and research at Stanford Medical Center.
Elena grew frustrated watching patients arrive with shopping bags full of products working against each other. Monica spent years researching skin barrier function and the impact of ingredient layering on long-term skin health.
Together, they created Essentia™ — a line of clinically-tested formulations designed to work in harmony, not competition. Every product is developed with precision, transparency, and respect for your skin's natural intelligence.
Our Process
Each batch of Essentia begins with ingredients sourced from specialized laboratories in Switzerland, Japan, and France. These are combined in our California facility using a proprietary cold-process method that preserves the integrity of each component.
Every batch undergoes three separate testing phases before being hand-poured into our custom glass vessels. The entire process takes 17 days — significantly longer than conventional production — but delivers uncompromising quality.
