Desert Essence is a US-based company that was started in 1972, selling skincare products and shampoo alongside an oral hygiene range that includes toothpaste, mouthwash and three different types of dental floss. The company sticks to environmental and ethical principles by using natural and organic products. Desert Essence even has an agreement with a federation of Australian farmers to provide the ingredients for their products. These farmers have signed a pledge not to use any pesticides or herbicides on their crops. Neither the raw materials or the finished products are tested on animals.
Desert Essence try to use natural ingredients that are known for their healing properties, like the tea tree oil used in their dental floss range. The tea tree oil is one of the products that comes from Australia and is well known for its health benefits. It is used in shampoo and skincare products and works as a natural antiseptic and also has detoxifying qualities.
