About Essences Zen

Essences Zen is a body care brand from Granby, in the Eastern Townships. Its organic products are inspired by naturopathy, and its whipped body butters are a favourite. The brand also runs a bottle deposit system, so containers can be returned and reused instead of thrown away.

Essences Zen suits people who want natural body care and like the idea of cutting down on packaging. A whipped body butter is a comforting gift in winter, when dry indoor air is hard on skin. Ask about the deposit system to make refilling part of your routine. The brand is a small, local business in the Townships.
