Desert Essence is natural and organic personal care company founded in 1978 by Sridhar Silberfein in Glendale, California. The brand built early recognition as first company to market jojoba oil and introduce tea tree oil to the United States, turning desert botanicals into everyday essentials for hair, skin, body, and oral care. Guiding philosophy centers on the concept “Beauty is natural, and Nature is beautiful,” with supporting messages such as “Expect wonders” and “You deserve to feel wonder full.” Formulas highlight ingredients like tea tree, jojoba, argan, and aloe, along with other plant based components sourced with attention to sustainability. Desert Essence emphasizes cruelty free status, Leaping Bunny certification, and B Corporation certification, aligning brand values with environmental and social responsibility. Product lines span shampoos, conditioners, facial care, body washes, lotions, deodorants, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and pure oils, positioned for health conscious shoppers who prefer simple labels, desert inspired ingredients, and responsible sourcing.
