Natural and organic skincare, Artisan made in Provence


We invite you to discover our range of 100% natural and organic, artisanal French body-care products - designed with passion and hand-crafted with care. Within our products, you will find well-being and warm serenity, as your senses are delighted and your curiosity is piqued. 



Les Essentiels will only create body-care products with beneficial integrity.
We never use preservatives nor synthetic or artificial ingredients, while incorporating specific essential oils selected for their time-honored, aroma-therapeutic properties and sensory beauty. 



Our luxurious soaps are formulated to be mild, gentle and soothing to all skin types, even sensitive or allergenic skin conditions. Les Essentiels soaps gently cleanse without drying to keep your skin healthy and vibrant.



The cold soap-making process - the only method to be consistent with our soap's designed benefits - was a clear choice, in line with our ethics and since additional heating is not necessary, our ingredients are as close to their natural state as possible. Far from the commercial soap manufacturers who remove the glycerine that is produced during the saponification (soap-making) process, Les Essentiels authentic luxurious soaps naturally contain all of its skin softening glycerine.



The story of Les Essentiels began in 2003, in Provence, in the tiny hamlet of Chasteuil, at the heart of the "Grand Canyon du Verdon", where Nancy and Pascal founded the company at their beautiful Bed and Breakfast Inn.
As a way to enhance their guest's experience, Nancy developed and created a high-quality line of soaps, which quickly expanded into other delightful body-care products which their guests eagerly embraced. To satisfy this growing interest and demand, production was moved to Saint-Cannat in 2011, near Aix-en-Provence. Still family owned, our company expanded again in 2013, adding a fifth partner and long-time family friend in California who is in charge of sales and brand development in the USA. 



We thank you for your interest in the Les Essentiels brand and products. Your comments and suggestions are highly appreciated and will help us to improve our ability to serve you and meet your requirements.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath...ahhhh Provence!
