Episencial is the first company to deliver clinically effective, newborn-safe products designed to support the essential immune functions of the skin. Made exclusively from all natural ingredients and loaded with organics, Episencial is leading the chemical-free charge in personal care products for kids. The Episencial skin care system offers parents a complete range of products based upon formulas relied on by leading spas and clinics for more than 30 years.



"Episencial products are meaningful, affordable and conveniently available which is a departure from the norm in the natural health and beauty category, " said Kim Walls, skin care clinician and CEO of Episencial (http://episencial. com/kim-walls-ms/). "Skincare benefits the body beyond beauty and today's parents want to know their dollars make a difference for both their families' health and that of the planet. "



Often, parenthood brings with it a renewed connection to the environment. The marketplace is filled with products eager to oblige this new sense of purpose in an effort to increase sales.

S. using solar power and recycled and sustainable packaging.

Prices for Episencial products range from $5.99 to $14.99, well below the average prices of high quality, natural personal care products for children.

Actively Healthy Skincare Tips from Kim Walls, MS (http://episencial. com/skincare-education/):

As we are still in the grips of cold and flu season, frequent hand washing remains our best weapon against illness. But frequent hand washings - and popular antibacterial cleansers - have unintended results. Here are some of Kim's insights for truly healthy hands using the power of probiotics:

 Yes, to keep germs at bay it is important to wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.  However, the reality is, while reducing the germ load on your hands, harsh soaps and hard water can strip the skin of its natural protection.  Combined with cold weather, dry air both indoors and out, and the skin on your hands becomes vulnerable to damage from chapping and cracking.  This damaged skin (located on the most exposed parts of the body…your hands) can compromise the body's barrier to germs - defeating the purpose of washing your hands in the first place!  Applying a probiotic cream, such as Episencial Soothing Cream, ideally while hands are still damp from hand washing, not only moisturizes but supports the natural ecosystem of beneficial bacteria on your skin that help protect the body. About Episencial (http://www. episencial. com):

With Episencial products you can begin to instill green values from day one. Sharing these fun and inviting products -- and the care and consideration that goes into making them - with children can serve as a building block for making actively healthy choices for themselves and the planet. Episencial was founded by Kim Walls, M. S., a second-generation skin care expert from the Epicuren family, who couldn't find skin care products for her babies that met her standards for quality and care for the environment - so, she created her own with the help of several moms and dads. Episencial now proudly offers two distinct all natural skin care lines: Epicuren Baby featuring exclusive imagery from renowned artist Anne Geddes and the new Episencial skin care system with artwork from The World of Eric Carle.

Sales of Episencial products benefit the company's philanthropic partner Healthy Child, Healthy World and its mission to protect children from harmful chemicals.
