Oak Essentials: Our Forever Skincare Obsession
Mixing potions and lotions in the name of skincare is all fun and games (we highly recommend brand experimentation) up until the age of about twenty-five. Dermatologists recommend anti-aging and preventative measures like retinol starting in the mid-twenties to keep your skin supple and as wrinkle-free as possible during your lifetime. One sustainable, clean brand we have been completely gaga over is Oak Essentials.
Oak Essentials is more than skincare, it is a lifestyle. The brand’s luxurious range of skin, body, and healthcare products really forces the busy bee to slow down and indulge in prioritizing “me time”. As users of the OE for over two years, we have witnessed drastic results in skin texture and skin tone. The founder of Oak Essentials, Jenni Kayne prides her company on clean, natural, simple ingredients as close to nature as possible to ensure a confident makeup-free look. With cruelty-free, non-GMO, organic and natural origins whenever possible, OE is formulated without silicones, colorants, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, PEGs, petrolatum, mineral oil, and nanoparticles- talk about clean!
Oak is all about the saving our planet. With minimal-waste packaging, cartons and shipping boxes are printed with soy-based inks and made of 100% recyclable materials. Wherever possible, glass packaging is used so it may be easily recycled. Many of their plastic packaging containers are made with a content of PCR (post-consumer recycled resin), meaning they only use plastics that have been recycled from other products.
Simplicity, cleanliness, and intentionality are three major green flags in our book! We stumbled upon a brand that was straight-forward and sustainable for life-long usage, bottom line- we adore it. Oak Essentials in an investment, and you owe it to yourself to spoil the skin you’re in.
