Gaia Essentials was created with the sole purpose of creating a high-quality nutritious skincare at an affordable price range. Each recipe was developed as you would a culinary one. All ingredients are 100% certified food grade. Nutrition is just as important to your skincare as it is to your diet.
Your skin is your largest body organ. It works hard to hold you together and protect you. With its many functions, you can help it along with good nutritious skincare. Make sure the products you use provide the needed vitamins and essential fatty acids to help your skin take care of you. If you would not eat it, you should not be using it on your skin.
At Gaia Essentials, we research and meticulously select the ingredients. Our combinations and recipes hold skin nutrition at the forefront. Every product is handmade from scratch, so we have the control and responsibility of the finished product. We never use cheap fillers, nor will we use pre-manufactured bases.
All products are made in small batches to ensure freshness. We use 100% certified pure essential oils and organic or wild-harvested herbs and flora. We do not use any synthetic fragrances.
It's guaranteed that you will find high-quality skincare products with us.
We do customization, wholesale and private labeling.
Gaia Essentials offers customized products to all customers. These can include aroma blends, soaps, specialty oils, lotions, creams or any of the products we offer. Some items do have minimums/maximums due to batch sizing and supplies; however, we can work these out on an individual basis. We offer gift collections for weddings or parties with customized artwork on the labeling.
All pricing is done on a personalized weight/ingredient basis. All order will require ½ payments on order with balance due at delivery.
Gaia Essentials offers wholesale pricing for retail outlets, salons and inns or B&Bs. These can be customized with a signature aroma all your own: a unique scent that is available nowhere else. They can also be private labeled with your own branding.
All pricing is done on a weight/ingredient basis. We offer low minimums on most items, and we will work with you on an individual basis, confirming pricing before production. All customized orders require ½ payments on order with balance due at delivery. Delivery within 10 miles is free. If the products need to be shipped, the client is responsible for the expense of the shipping.
Due to the personalized nature of these projects, a consultation is required. Please email or call to discuss and arrange an appointment, or get a wholesale brochure.

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. If you would not eat it you should not be using it on your skin. Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs through the pores. Know who makes your skincare as much as you know who grows/makes your food.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Make sure all ingredients are 100% good. Watch out for cheap fillers and by-products that add nothing to the products.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. What are your Qualifications, What is your total Experience, Who are your References.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Understand & debunk marketing hype. Read ingredient decks of products to realize that we are being sold on the 3% good part of a product while the other 97% is filler. Know that large brand names do this and that paid for celebrity endorsement does not add validity to a product. Know your product, know your artisan.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. The exceptional quality of my ingredients. Only certified food grade base ingredients, essential oils and home grown organic botanicals. I use no low grade bases, cheap fillers, nor pre-manufactured bases.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. Helping people with perfect skin care and helping some find relief from their skin ailments at an affordable price structure.

I absolutely Gaia products. I have sensitive skin; the hemp and comfrey based soap doesn't irritate my skin, nor leave a residue like some specialty soaps do. It also cleared my son's acne, and he's tried just about everything on the market. Holistic skin care is important to me and Debby's products are the best on the market. I love everything from her soaps to deodorant, but my favorite is her signature scented oils and lotions.

It worked wonders for the dryness in my skin, and I always feel refreshed after washing with Gaia Essentials soap. Debby was patient and informative with helping me figure out what would best suit my needs, and the order was processed and shipped quickly cross country. I am not really the type to really take care of my skin, but since this has helped me with some longstanding issues, no more off the rack industrial soap for me. Handmade natural soap is the only thing I will use now.

We absolutely LOVE the Lemon Verbena Spritzer!
We found Gaia Essentials Lemon Verbena Spritzer @ a Farmers Market when we lived in SF, CA area, now we've moved to Philly Pa
and we are so pleased that we can buy it online!
We recommend it as a body & room mist.
We never get tired of the bright fresh natural scent.– Liberty Marco

I've found that Gaia Essentials products make fantastic Birthday & Mother's Day gifts. I love how Debby packages them and will delay to send or ship fast, depending on how soon or late I am. Everyone who has tried Gaia Products absolutely loves them! I love how clean and fresh your skin feels after using the soap. Highly recommend this company & products!

My sister-in-law and I always have the same argument, whether this is the BEST soap ever for washing the body, or whether it's the BEST shampoo/conditioner ever! Strange to have one great product be BEST at two very different things :)
I always have to keep a supply on hand for both of us though, irregardless of who's right.
You can pick some up at the Pacifica Farmer's Market (near Rockaway Beach) on Wednesday afternoons and just try it, you'll be addicted like us :)– Jeanette (And Berni)

I have had wonderful results with Gaia Essentials products and working with Debby is a treat. She even made a custom blend essential oil for me, which I absolutely love. I use everything from her soaps to her hairspray to her therapeutic oil blends to her deodorant and healing skin balm. I recommend her to all my friends and family as well. I can't say enough good things about using Gaia products and using Debby as a holistic resource.
