Our Planet Friendly Promise
At Essentially Tamara, caring for the planet is at the heart of everything we do.
Our products are vegan friendly, cruelty free, and made without any animal derived ingredients. We proudly use biodegradable and recyclable materials, ensuring our packaging is as gentle on the earth as it is protective of our products. You’ll never find parabens, sulphates, or phthalates in our formulations. Even our plastic packaging is biodegradable, designed to keep Shower Bombs and Bursts safe from moisture - without leaving a footprint.
Our mission is simple: create beautiful products, and leave no trace.
