Fresh, green prickly pear
Rich, creamy lather. Naturally fragrant.
We blend olive and coconut oils for a rich, creamy lather. Essential oils bring the natural scents of Sicily to your skin and fill the warm, steamy air of your bathroom as you wash.
Detoxifying Exfoliation
A fresh, clean feel from surface cleansing and exfoliation. Fine volcanic minerals from Mount Etna help lift away surface buildup, while the creamy lather washes away everyday dirt and excess surface oil.
Our soap is hand poured and cut in small batches by a family-owned workshop near Mount Etna, exclusively for Essenziali. We use botanicals from organic farming. Small differences in shape, color and texture are part of making each bar by hand.

Fico d’India / Green & fresh
Fico d’India is the Italian name for prickly pear. Our bar combines prickly pear oil and juice with lemon peel essential oil, which adds a clean citrus note to its fresh, green character.
Prickly pear cacti grow along Sicily’s coastal paths and across its rocky countryside. Their green pads and fruit are the starting point for this scent: crisp, botanical and lightly citrus.
For a creamy lather
Rich, creamy lather
We blend Sicilian olive oil with coconut oil to form the plant-oil base of our soap. Together, they create a rich, creamy lather for everyday washing at the sink, in the bath or in the shower.

A little of the island
We started Essenziali to share what we love about Sicily. We work with a small, family-owned workshop to make natural soaps with local botanicals, bringing the scents of the island into your home.
