Essano

Rewind nearly two decades, six brands, thousands of ideas and lots of crazy stories and you’ll get to the start of the Essano Limited journey. Founders Shane and AJ created the business in 2000 with a washing machine pump and a credit card, and since then have been on a relentless journey of democratisation: creating quality, natural products accessible for all.


With category leading brands, including the No.1 Natural Skincare brand in New Zealand; Essano, the business is now one of the fastest-growing FMCG companies in New Zealand. A true leader in natural beauty, Essano Limited has created certified organic, award-winning formulations and unique product ranges -now retailing in over 6,000 stores and online in countries across the globe.


Essano Limited has grown from a partnership of two Kiwi innovators to a team of talented, fun-loving experts, still based here in New Zealand.
