At Essence by RJ, we are guided by a deep commitment to conscious creation, community empowerment, and ethical leadership. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values shape how we craft our products and how we operate every day.
Environmental – Conscious Creation
We are mindful of our impact on the planet and work intentionally to reduce our footprint.
- We use phthalate-free fragrances, essential oils, and natural soy wax to create clean, non-toxic formulations.
- Our packaging includes reusable glass and ceramic jars, while plastic containers are part of a return-and-recycle program designed to reduce waste.
- We design our packaging with intention and implement eco-conscious production practices to minimize environmental harm.
Social – People at the Heart
Our brand is built on relationships with people, communities, and the culture that inspires us.
- We source key ingredients such as locally made shea butter to support regional economies and skilled artisans.
- We actively partner with women-led and small businesses, fostering inclusive, equitable collaborations.
- Our self-care products are designed to promote well-being, calm, and connection, helping our customers create space for rest in busy lives.
Governance – Integrity & Transparency
We believe in doing business with honesty, fairness, and accountability.
- We are committed to setting and tracking measurable goals to improve our environmental and social impact year after year.
- We maintain full ingredient transparency, ensuring you always know what’s in your products and how they’re made.
- Our operations reflect ethical business practices, with a focus on fairness and mutual respect in all partnerships and customer relationships.
Essence by RJ is beauty with a conscience. From sustainable sourcing to intentional self-care, our ESG values are woven into everything we do.
