About Us

Essential Spirit was created by me, Marina Vundum over ten years ago. It is an award winning company based in the beautiful Dumfriesshire countryside producing luxurious handmade aromatic soaps using only natural and organic ingredients. With a background of over 21 years experience in aromatherapy and natural health, my approach in business is to produce the most luxurious products in an ethical way ensuring minimal waste and low environmental impact. I have a genuine concern for the quality and integrity of all the products I produce.

The environmental award from VIBES (Vision In Business for the Environment of Scotland) was given to Essential Spirit for demonstrating exceptional environmental performance in business. I ensure that the ingredients used in these products are from a sustainable source. I use many ingredients that are organically grown. I only use recycled and fair-traded handmade paper.

Essential Spirit is dedicated to producing the best handmade soap available for people who care about the environment and themselves.
