Our Story – The Heart of Bree Essentials

Hi! I’m Bree—founder, formulator, and the heart behind Bree Essentials. I’m so glad you stopped by!

What began in 2015 as a simple roller bottle blend to ease a back injury has blossomed into what you now know and love as Bree Essentials—

a handcrafted bath and body brand rooted in care, love, purpose, community, conscious living, 

and a whole lot of butter.

From my soap studio in North Carolina, I formulate nourishing, paraben-free products for skin that craves care. Every label is crafted with intention, every product designed with tradition and wellness in mind.

As a wife, mom, Nana, mentor, and maker, 

I wear many hats—and a fabulous apron.

At Bree Essentials, our specialty is less toxic, safer, delightfully scented skincare that’s gentle on your body and kind to the earth. Every soap, body butter, and oil is made in small batches using high-quality ingredients you can trust—essential oils, phthalate-free fragrances, cosmetic-grade colorants, and absolutely no animal testing.

I operate Bree Essentials with heart, hustle, and the belief that natural, small-batch skincare should be affordable, beautiful, and personal.

But we’re more than just skin deep.

I believe in products with purpose—creations that not only nourish your skin but uplift your spirit, support our community, and help you feel empowered in your self-care journey. From our packaging to our pricing, everything is built with intention—to serve you, sustain our mission, and spread a little joy.

You’ll see it in our labels.
You’ll feel it in our scents.
You’ll read it in our reviews.

And you'll know—this was made just for you.

Around here, we live by the belief that self-care is not a luxury—it’s essential.

And most of all? “Because You Deserve It.” With every scrub, soap, and butter—I make sure you feel it.

Whether I’m running loyalty programs, creating gift sets, or dancing through my fulfillment checklist, my legacy is one of grace, grit, and glowing skin.

To create high-quality, handcrafted bath and body products at a fair price—allowing Bree Essentials to serve our customers, sustain our business, support our staff, give back to our community, and help care for our planet.
