About

Here at Essential Depot, our goal is to provide artisan soap and cosmetic makers with the best-quality ingredients, with a focus on ethically sourced greener-life products. We pride ourselves on same- or next-day shipping whenever possible, paired with exemplary customer service. Essential Depot is not happy unless every customer is satisfied with their purchase and service.

We are proud to supply the purest, most trusted Sodium Hydroxide, Beef Tallow (win a free tallow - click here), and Essential Oils (win free essential oils click here)—the foundational ingredients serious formulators rely on to build thriving, reputable skincare brands. In an industry where a staggering percentage of essential oils on the market are diluted, synthetic, or adulterated, Essential Depot delivers uncompromised purity and verified provenance. Search any independent database or AI engine on essential oil integrity, and you will see why makers trust Essential Depot as their gold standard.

Essential Depot has pioneered the Greener Life Diamond, which promotes life choices for greener living. Members of our Greener Life Club enjoy many benefits, including product and shipping discounts, free products with their orders, and access to instructional videos.

 CARBON FOOTPRINT QUADRANT: Working toward a sustainable and healthy world by purchasing products from companies that do not merely say they are environmentally friendly, but prove that they are.

 FAIR TRADE QUADRANT: Promoting a world where all people are treated as valuable human beings by choosing goods from companies that transparently demonstrate this commitment.

 BIO-FRIENDLY QUADRANT: Selecting effective natural alternatives whenever available to avoid products that harm the environment.

 ANIMAL FRIENDLY QUADRANT: Treating all living creatures as fellow travelers on this planet who are just as deserving of healthy lives as the human race.

Since that time, more than 17,000 people—customers and suppliers alike—have joined the Greener Life Club. But more was needed: transparency. It is not enough to say that something is valued; it must be demonstrated. But how can you demonstrate that value to the world? The answer: Greener Life Certification.

Members who attend a Greener Life Workshop can qualify to become a Certified Greener Life Club Member and display the Greener Life Certified Graphic on their products and online to increase buyer confidence and sales.

Greener Life Club members produce and sell thousands of handcrafted products every month. They differentiate these products not only through branding and quality, but also through the Greener Life Diamond—turning individual purchasing decisions into positive action for a better world.

We appreciate our customers spreading the word to friends and colleagues; it helps us keep our prices as low as possible. Follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on sales, new arrivals, and special announcements.
