About Us

We are Essentially Young

Welcome to Essentially Young, a labour of love born from our passion for natural wellness.

Our Journey : Innovation, Healing & Nature’s Finest Ingredients

Six years ago, Robyn and Heide embarked on an extraordinary journey, sparked by a shared fascination with the therapeutic power of essential oils and natural health. As we delved deeper into the world of aromatherapy, our curiosity and creativity flourished. We began crafting our own all-natural body products and skin care solutions, harnessing the potency of pure essential oils. This marked the beginning of our commitment to providing effective, gentle, and sustainable wellness skin solutions.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted us to adapt and innovate, leading to the development of our all-natural sanitiser. This expansion not only broadened our product range but also deepened our connection with our community, and definitely put Essentially Young on the map.

A personal struggle with eczema and psoriasis led Robyn to discover the remarkable healing properties of Pure Dead Sea Salt. This breakthrough inspired us to import this natural treasure, further enriching our product offerings.

Our Ongoing Commitment to Natural Wellness & You

Our journey continued with the introduction of Celtic Salt from France and, most recently, Magnesium Flakes from Holland.

Celtic Salt Benefits

Celtic Salt Benefits

by Heide Frljak on Jul 02 2024
Celtic salt, also known as Celtic sea salt or Sel Gris, is harvested from the Atlantic coastal regions of France and is known for its distinct mineral composition and unique flavour. Rich in essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, Celtic salt supports electrolyte balance, aids in digestion, and enhances the flavor of dishes. It also offers a potentially lower sodium content compared to regular table salt, making it a healthier choice for those monitoring their sodium intake.

Magnesium Flakes vs Dead Sea Salt: Health Benefits of Both

by Heide Frljak on Jul 02 2024
The Dead Sea and magnesium flakes are renowned for their therapeutic benefits, but they differ significantly. The Dead Sea, a saltwater lake between Jordan and Israel, offers a natural mix of minerals, including magnesium. In contrast, magnesium flakes, derived from magnesium chloride, provide a concentrated magnesium source. While the Dead Sea's minerals are accessed through physical visits or its mud and salt products, magnesium flakes are easily available for purchase and used in baths or foot soaks for relaxation and muscle recovery. Explore these differences to find out which is best for you.

Epsom salt and magnesium flakes are widely used for their potential health benefits, but they differ in composition, absorption, concentration, and texture. While Epsom salt is made of magnesium sulfate, magnesium flakes consist of magnesium chloride, known for better skin absorption.
