Earth Science is a natural personal care company created in 1981 by cosmetic chemist and entrepreneur Kenneth Grand in Santa Barbara, California. The brand grew from a single apricot facial scrub into a complete line for skin, hair, and body. Formulas focus on plant based ingredients, soothing botanicals, antioxidants, and pure essential oils, with an emphasis on paraben free, cruelty free, vegetarian, and largely vegan choices. Messaging highlights mottos such as Created by Nature, Perfected by Science, Beauty for All, and From the Earth, For the Earth, For You, reflecting commitments to wellness and environmental responsibility. Earth Science promotes pH balanced, sulfate free, and non GMO options, along with California Clean standards and accessible pricing. Partnerships with groups such as Surfrider Foundation, National Forest Foundation, Coalition for Clean Air, and Carbonfund.org show ongoing support for climate and conservation work. The brand operates today as part of privately held ESN Group, Inc.
