Welcome to Essential Spirit
Creating luxury vegan soap and all things natural, organic and therapeutically fragrant for people who care about themselves and the planet.
. . . marina (founder of essentialspirit) has been working with essential oils personally and professionally for 45 years and specialises in creating the most nourishing soap in a traditional and ethical way. In fact when she first made soap about 28 years ago, she was the only soap maker in Scotland using the cold process method with sustainable and organic ingredients, resulting in a superior soap compared to manufactured soap. she believes we can bring the healing power of nature into our lives and homes by using essential oils and aromatherapy to create a natural and healthy life using ingredients that are sustainable and ethically sourced.

What a wonderful surprise i had the other day to see this beautiful hellebore doing the thing it does best. Yes, it’s in a sheltered corner of the garden but nevertheless, it made my day 🩷 #inthegardentoday #hellebore #hidingplace #essentialspirit #eskdalemuir

I’m still in half hibernation mode. Doing what I have to do and then taking time to stop, centre, look, smell, feel and listen. No matter what madness is happening in the human world, there is still the beauty and balance of nature going about its business. I’ve got lots of ideas for essentialspirit in 2026 but for now…. Breathe #bebacksoon #essentialspirit #aromatherapy #eskdalemuir
